- Total Number Others - 30 men

Notes:
- The above totals do not include certain numbers, such as the number of emplaced guns in the defenses of Plattsburg, Sackett's Harbour and Ft. Erie. Nor do these numbers reflect the Marines and ships' crews assigned to the naval squadrons on Lake Ontario (homeported at Sackett's Harbour) and Lake Champlain (homeported at Plattsburg). Also not included in this order of battle is BG Duncan McArthur's brigade of cavalry from Ft. Malden since they were assigned to the Army of The Northwest, even though they raided deeply into the territory in which the Army of the Niagara operated.
- Finally, not included in this order of battle are the Federal, volunteer, state, and militia units of infantry, cavalry and artillery that were stationed away from the front, but considered to be a theater reserve in case of a successful break-through by the British.
Battles:
- Engagements fought along the Northern Theater of Operations during the period covered by this order of battle were as follows:
- Battle of Chippewa - 7/05/14
- Battle of Lundy's Lane - 7/25/14
- Battle of Conjuncta Creek - 8/03/14
- First Battle of Ft. Erie - 8/15/14
- Battle of Plattsburg - 9/08/14 - 9/11/14
