The units are listed in alphabetical order. The entry includes dates of existence recruiting area, commander, organizational notes, strength in certain years with some additional notes on exact strengths given by the list of battles, and additional names. All of the facts are not known for every unit. Unless stated otherwise, large units and mounted units were formed with the same organization and strength as British regular units.
When estimating the size of militia and volunteer units, the rank of the commanding officer is a good indicator. The larger the unit generally the higher the rank, unless a higher rank was given due to politics. Militia units were raised for home defense and rarely ventured outside their area of responsibility.
The list notations of battles is not complete since militia and volunteer units at some battles were not accurately or thorughly identified. Detachments from a formal command were sometimes only identified by the detachment commander's name in the battle reports. Many temporary, militia commands were only at one battle or participated only in battles located in their specific area. Those units assigned to New York often participated in raids into the area around New York and into the 'Neutral Ground' between New York and Philadelphia. Estimated unit strengths are in ( ).
