2nd Massachusetts Bay Provincial Regiment (1775)

The 2nd Massachusetts Bay Provincial Regiment was initially commanded by General John Thomas, of Kingston, who was the lieutenant general (second in command) of the Massachusetts Bay provincial forces. Thomas was made a Continental brigadier general on June 22, 1775. The regiment's lieutenant colonel, John Bailey, of Hanover, then assumed command. Bailey was promoted to the rank of colonel on July 1, 1775, and the regiment became Bailey's Regiment. In August 1775, Bailey's Regiment was designated "The 35th Regiment of Foot." It served in the Siege of Boston until its disbandment.
