King's Loyal Americans - see Queen's Loyal Rangers
King's Rangers (raised and commanded by Robert Roger's brother) The King's Rangers was only nominally raised and commanded by Robert Rogers.
By this time he had already been removed from command of the Queen's
Rangers. James Rogers, his brother, was de facto in charge and Robert
Rogers merely commander de jure. (as sent by Ian Hooker). Another site for Kings' Rangers information
Loyal Volunteers. The Loyal Volunteers, under Francis Van Pfister, joined Burgoyne's army on 15 Aug. 1777. This corp was restructured in 1779 when Robert Leake ordered to raise a company from their remains - this company then fought with Sir John's Royal Yorkers.
Queen's Rangers (raised by Robert Rogers) - A brief history of the Queen's Rangers
and the intimate connection the regiment has with Simcoe and the Loyalists is
on Ian's Web Page Ian also sends this brief description: the The Queen's Loyal Rangers: A battalion of men of New England background,
many of whom had settled in the New Hampshire Grants (later Vermont). The
regiment was almost wiped out in a raid and never recovered (for lack of
recruits). In 1781 it was amalgamated with the King's Loyal Americans. The
new unit, under Edward Jessup, was called the Loyal Rangers.
