Ed St.Germain just sent a wonderful email about "Associations" and for fun I placed within my search engine "Philadelphia Brigade of Militia" and here is what came up from this entry. It's full of some things I've never seen and thought you all would enjoy viewing them also.

Lacking a militia, the local Patriots had to organize a military force from the ground up by forming volunteer units, called Associators. Thanks to his wealth and wide-ranging connections in the community, Fitzsimons contributed significantly to this speedy mobilization. When Philadelphia's contingent of infantry (today's 111th Infantry, Pennsylvania Army National Guard) was organized, Fitzsimons, as a captain, raised and commanded a company in Colonel John Cadwalader's 3d Battalion. http://georgiarefugees.tripod.com/BlankPage1.htm GEORGIA MILITIA & CONTINENTAL REGIMENTS OF INFANTRY — A SELECTED HISTORICAL TIMELINE OF MILITARY ACTIONS & GENERAL EVENTS IN THE COLONY AND STATE OF GEORGIA, 1775 to1783, WITH VARIOUS NOTATIONS AND ITEMS OF INTEREST http://www.rootsweb.com/~scnewber/revwar/ Revolutionary War In Newberry County SC http://www.royalprovincial.com/military/rlist/rlist.htm a list of all known Loyalist regiments that served in the American Revolution between 1775 and 1784. http://www.royalprovincial.com/military/rhist/paloyal/pal4hist.htm The history of the Provincial Corps of Pennsylvania Loyalists is presented in 7 parts. http://www.royalprovincial.com/military/rhist/njv/2njvhist.htm History of the 2nd Battalion, New Jersey Volunteers http://members.aol.com/liv18thc/selinhistory.html#I Information that has been gathered on Capt.
