MUSTER ROLLS FOR COL. THOMAS POSEY’S VIRGINIA BATTALION, JAN 1782 - MAY 1783Transcribed and annotated by C. Leon Harris.

[After virtually the entire Virginia Continental Army was captured at Charleston on 12 May 1780, Maj.Thomas Posey (BLWt1733-450) managed to recruit two small battalions by late in 1780. The battalionswere to serve in the Carolinas under Gen. Nathanael Greene, but the British invasion of Virginia delayedtheir march to the South until after the surrender of Cornwallis on 19 Oct 1781. By the time Posey’sdetachment arrived in the south in the spring of 1782 it comprised two companies from the 2nd VirginiaContinental Regiment and one company each from the remaining seven Virginia Continental regiments.The only field officer besides Posey was apparently Major Samuel Finley (W10026). The Captains ofthese nine companies are listed below in the order in which their rolls occur in the present file, followedby the regiments from which they were detached. As the ranks were depleted by expiring enlistments,desertions, and deaths (mainly by disease), companies were consolidated until finally by May 1783 theonly one left was that of Capt. Clough Shelton.

Before joining Greene’s Southern Army, Posey’s detachment joined Gen. Anthony Wayne’s Pennsylvaniatroops at Ebenezer GA, where they helped keep the British bottled up in Savannah. After the Britishevacuated Savannah on 11 July 1782, Posey’s detachment joined Greene at Ashley Hill (just south ofMiddleton Place Plantation) to help keep the British confined in Charleston SC. The following time lineshows some of the major events during the period when the above rosters were made.1782

The transcribed rolls are from Fold3.com beginning at https://www.fold3.com/image/1/9647999. Full andalternative spellings of names, as well as the file numbers of pension and bounty-land applications, areadded in brackets at the first occurrence of the name. Most names occur on more than one roster,sometimes in more than one company, and often with different spellings. Columns headed “Term ofInlistment” show the time remaining. The original tables have columns headed “Mustered,” which areomitted here because they merely repeat the soldiers’ names except those indicated by *. Columns headed“Time since last Mustered, or Inlisted” are omitted because they are either blank or have the same datumfor each mustered soldier. In some of the rosters columns headed “Alteration Since Last Muster” areomitted when there are no entries or they add no new information.]
