FYI There were two 7th Regiments of VA as follows: From URL <http://www.revwar75.com/ob/books.htm> 7th (Dangerfield's/Crawford's/McClanachan's/ Richardson's/Russel's) Virginia Regiment [1776-1778]  - [A] Redesignated as the 5th (Russel's) Virginia Regiment [Sept. 1778]  - [B] Captured at Charlestown May 1780 Disbanded Jan. 1783 11th (Morgan's) Virginia Regiment [1777-1778]  - [A] Redesignated as the 7th (Morgan's/Posey's/Cabell's) Virginia Regiment [Sept. 1778]  - [B] Captured at Charlestown May 1780 Disbanded Jan. 1781 Your ancestor could have served in either 7th VA Regiment. Note the names of the commanders, this may help in the identification of the regiment. In as much as the terms of enlistment varied, he could have served in several units over the course of the RW. Also note that the VA Reigiments of the Continental Line did not use the term "Continental" in the designation of the Regiment, they were simple a part of the Continental Line (those troops committed to continental service under General Washington). As to: From URL: <http://www.uswars.net/1775-1783/states/ct/cl-17.htm> 2d Partisan Corps (aka Lee's Legion) LINEAGE * Authorized 8 June 1776 in the Virginia State Troops as the 5th Troop of Light Horse. * Organized in summer 1776 at Williamsburg with recruits from northern Virginia. * Redesignated 25 June 1776 as the 5th Troop of Virginia Light Horse. * Virginia Light Horse adopted 25 November 1776 into the Continental Army, assigned to the Main Army, and redesignated as the 1st Continental Light Dragoon Regiment. * Withdrawn 7 April 1778 from the 1st Continental Light Dragoon Regiment expanded to form Lee's Corps of Partisan Light Dragoons, an element of the Main Army, to consist of 3 troops. * Captain Allen McLane's Company assigned 13 July 1779 as the 4th Troop. * Expanded and redesignated 1 January 1781 as the 2d Partisan Corps, to consist of 3 mounted and 3 dismounted troops. * Disbanded 15 November 1783 at Winchester, Virginia. Note: This unit used the term "Continental" in its designation, but not the term "Virginia" once in the Continental Service. Captain Allen McLane's Company (formally of Patton's Additional Continental Regiment) LINEAGE * Authorized 13 January 1777 as Captain Allen McLane's Company, Patton's Additional Continental Regiment, an element of the Main Army. * Organized 14 February - 23 April 1777 at Dover, Delaware, with recruits from Delaware. * Withdrawn 16 December 1778 from Patton's Additional Continental Regiment and assigned to the Delaware Regiment, an element of the 3d Virginia Brigade of the Main Army. * Withdrawn 13 July 1779 from the Delaware Regiment and assigned to Lee's Corps of Partisan Light Dragoons as the 4th (Dismounted) Troop.
