Comd t. 1 Mar 15 A NOTES: The document is not dated, but internal dates show that it must have been compiled in January or February Some names are inferred from According to E. M. Sanchez-Saavedra (A Guide to Virginia Military Organizations in the American Revolution, Westminster MD: Heritage Books, 2007), the First, Second, and Third Regiments of the Virginia State Line were raised to serve strictly within the state. After the 9 th Virginia Continental Regiment was decimated at the Battle of Germantown on 4 Oct 1777, Congress directed that Virginia replace it with a new regiment. The three State Regiments were ordered to fill the gap and were placed on Continental Establishment. (According to the pension application of William Campbell (W4149), it was the officers of the First Virginia Regiment who petitioned the Virginia legislature to put them under Continental Establishment.) In Jan 1778 the 3 rd State Regiment was taken into the 2 nd. The 1 st and 2 nd State Regiments returned to Virginia late in 1779.
