11th Virginia Regiment

The 11th Virginia Regt. wasn't organized until February 1777 and didn't join the Main Army at Morristown until early April 1777. Therefore, it did not participate in the NYC Campaign and the battles of Trenton and Princeton. The 11th Virginia Regt. is not the same as Morgan’s Provisional Rifle Corps – they are two separate, regiment-sized Continental Army units (one permanent, one provisional) that were simultaneously commanded by Col. Daniel Morgan. Lt. Col. Christian Febiger, the 11th Virginia’s second in command, ran the 11th VA while Morgan was temporarily attached to the Provisional Rifle Corps from June 1777 to July 1778. Capt. Gabriel Long, originally of the Maryland and Virginia Rifle Regiment, was also attached to the Provisional Rifle Corps in June 1777, where he remained until his resignation in May 1779.

Heitman's book, which contains some erroneous data on Tannehill, was not used as a source for this article. Therefore, I deleted it from the "Sources" list.
