D, DLC:GW. The numbers to the left of the men’s names indicate their relative position within their respective ranks in each regiment. The manuscript has a column on the far right in the listing of the officers of the 7th and 8th regiments which simply provides the information that every man was from Virginia. This column has been omitted here.

An earlier version of this list in Charles Cotesworth Pinckney’s hand, dating probably from the conclusion of the meeting of GW, Alexander Hamilton, and Pinckney in Philadelphia in December 1798, is in DLC:GW placed at the end of December 1798. A comparison of the two lists indicates that between December 1798 and May 1799 seven changes had been made. In the 7th Regiment, Van Bennett, John Heiskel, Felix Wilton, and Marcus Combs had been entered in place of, respectively, Thomas Opie, Gerard Roberts, Robert Temple, and Alexander Henderson. In the 8th Regiment, Charles MCallister, Nathaniel Henry, and Willis Wills replaced Reuben Thornton, William K. Blue, and John Thornton Fitzhugh.
