Category:American militiamen in the American Revolution

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This category includes officers and solders who served in State and local militias during the American Revolutionary War.

Note that most men who fought for the United States in the Revolutionary War were not in the Continental Army, but rather in the militia. Those who did fight in the Continental Army are listed in the categories Category:Continental Army officers and Category:Continental Army soldiers.

If a soldier fought both in the Continental Army and the militia (presumably at different times, but regardless), he should be listed in both categories.
