Specifically, I am interested in the Light Infantry Co. of the Regt. and its officers and men who were serving at the time of the Battle of Stony Point, NY 15-16 Jul 1779. The VA Regts. of the Main Army were called upon along with those of PA, MA, MD, CT and NC to provide their Light Infantry Companies to the Corps of Light Infantry under Brigadier General Anthony Wayne in Jun of 1779. The Corps disbanded in Dec 1779 and the companies returned to their parent regiments. Best regards, Hugh <[email protected]>

Hugh, I don't think the any of the 13th VA was at Stony Point. They were a Frontier Regiment garrisoned at Ft. Pitt (Pittsburgh) throughout 1779. By July 1779 they had been redesignated the 9th as the original 9th was captured at Germantown and effectively taken out of service. I haven't seen any documentation that would suggest any of the men left Ft. Pitt for Stony Point. If you have details indicating otherwise let me know. The garrison at Ft. Pitt included the 8th PA. Both regiments were chronically understaffed having to rely on militia to support their activities. Hope this helps.
