To Marylanders Who Served Here

Col. Tench Tilghman, Confidential Aide to Washington, who wrote:---
--“formerly of my family - in every action (of) the main army - often refused his pay - left as fair reputation as ever belonged to human character”--.






The Two Maryland Brigades

Maj. Gen. John Sullivan Brig. • Gen. William Smallwood
1st Reg. Col. John H. Stone • 5th Reg. Col. William Richardson
2nd Reg. Col. Thomas Price • 6th Reg. Col. Otho H. Williams
3rd Reg. Col. Mordecai Gist • 7th Reg. Col. John Gunby
4th Reg. Col. Josiah C. Hall • Reg. of Col. Moses Hazen
Artillery:- Capt. Wm. Brown’s Co. and Capt. Richard Dorsey’s Co.

And as Washington wrote,---“the men-“
“— without clothes to cover their nakedness – blankets to lie upon – without shoes – their marches traced by blood from their feet – through frost and snow – without house or hut – or provisions – submitting without murmur --“
