I am new to the list and have been following the topic of "Loyalists"and "Rebels" with great interest. Only recently I discovered my ancestor William Stark (brother of General John of Bennington fame) recruited Loyalists for the New Hampshire Volunteers, mostly comprised of enlistments from New York and New Jersey. He was a Major at that time, but if I understand correctly, he was later given the rank of Colonel, heading a British Dragoon (Unit, Regiment, Battalion?). Members of this group seem to have extensively studied events of the War and I am hoping for more info on The New Hampshire Volunteers, William Stark, or the Dragoon Unit he was attached to. I found a lead that indicated he died from a fall off his horse at the Battle of Long Island. Does anyone have any insight on any of this? I have found nothing of his participation at Long Island or anything else other that a few tidbits on the New Hampshire Volunteers. Thanks, Robin
