Rhode Island Revolutionary Regiments Table

Purpose

This page contains a table of Rhode Island American Revolutionary War Regiments with their commanders spanning the timeframe of the war, which should help people find the most appropriate unit category for their profile if they know a commander's name or regiment number and timeframe. The implied orderliness of the table does not reflect the relative chaos of the time. Please find a detailed explanation below.

Note: Rhode Island Train of Artillery on separate page
