Notes





  1. ^ Major General Benjamin Lincoln was sent to the Northern Army earlier in 1777, so Wayne, commanding the 1st Brigade, assumed command.


  2. ^ Brigadier General Philip De Haas was assigned to command this brigade but never assumed command and soon resigned his commission after his February 1777 commission.
