My research sins of 40+ years ago have caught up with me. Can anyone suggest a book of site which would name the officers of three particular Loyalist regiments, or any of these three? Volunteers of Ireland
New York Volunteers
King's American Regiment Thanks, Robert |

Robert, the Black Powder Rebellion supplement has a section on Loyalists regiments. ( I am using the Perry plastic continental set to paint up my 28mm Loyalists). Here is some info from that book:
Volunteers of Ireland – Raised in Philadelphia by Lord Rowden in 1777.
Queens Rangers – Raised by Robert Rogers in 1776. They were under Major James Wemyss at the Battle of Brandywine. Laster LT Col John Graves Simcoe was give command.
Kings American Regiment – raised in 1776 by Col Edmund Fanning. |

Have a look at link and maybe PDF link although the regimental case studies don't include the ones you are after. |

Excellent! Thank you both very much. GurKhan, I think that first link is exactly what I was hoping for. |

That would be Lord Rawdon, later known as the Early of Moira…Royal North Carolina Regiment commanded by Lt.Col. John Hamilton. |
