David, Based on the following, it appears that Thomas Gaskins' Battalion of 1781 was designated the "1st VA Battalion." 1) From URL: http://www.virginiacampaign.org/gaskins/notes.html <<Berg’s Encyclopedia of Continental Army Units states on page 124 that “The 1st Virginia Battalion” [Gaskins’ Virginia Battalion] was commanded by Colonel Christian Ferbinger (sic). However, we know that Febiger only commanded the battalion for less than thirty days until Lafayette corrected the situation.>> _____________ 2) From URL: http://www.revwar75.com/ob/va.htm <<1st (Febiger's/Posey's) Virginia Battalion [1781-1782]  - [A] 1st (Wood's) Virginia Regiment [1783]  - [B] Furloughed July 1783; Disbanded Nov. 1783          VA-21A-01. 1st VA [? Bde.] 9 Oct 1781 3 May 1782 Yorktown, Cumberland Old Court House ‡Original: HS Penn, Am 60733. >> This reference is for period Oct 1781 to May 1782. ______ 3) From URL: http://www.myrevolutionarywar.com/states/va/index.htm <<Virginia Line The Virginia Battalion Commanded by Lt. Col. Thomas Posey; formed in Feb 1781 with personnel who had managed to escape capture at Charleston>> __________ 4) From URL: http://www.virginiacampaign.org/units.htm <<The Virginia Battalion of 1781 Continental Commanders: Lt. Col. Thomas Gaskins, Col. Christian Febiger, Lt. Col. Thomas Posey Assigned to: Gen. Wayne's Brigade, Gen. Steuben's Division (Sept.-Oct.) (remnants of the 1st Virginia Regiment and 2nd Virginia Regiment also served in this battalion) >> _______________ I think the 1st VA Battalion should note commanders, Gaskins/ Febiger/ Posey as per the forth reference. Still no reference to the 14th VA. Best regards, Hugh <[email protected]>
