Served as dragoon in Lee's Legion
The Continental army was the military force that delegates to the Continental Congress agreed to support financially by requisitions on the states. Each state raised a segment of the army, called its "Continental Line" because the troops were to be trained to fight according to European linear tactics. States reinforced, reorganized, and re-created their lines many times in response to the enormous demand for armed forces during the war; they retained the responsibility for raising, clothing, feeding, and paying their own troops. Congress annually assigned each state a quota of men, leaving each legislature to decide how to fill it.
In the Fall of 1780 Henry Lee III ("Light Horse Harry") was promoted to lieutenant colonel with a picked corps of dragoons, Lee's Legion was formed, to South Carolina, the southern theatre of war. Here he rendered invaluable services in victory and defeat, notably at Guilford Court House, Camden and Eutaw Springs on September 8, 1781. In February 1782, Lee was granted a leave of absence and never returned to duty.
During the American Revolution the term dragoon was used to denote a mounted soldier - a cavalryman. Technically there is a distinction in military terminology between light and heavy dragoons and between dragoons and cavalrymen, but these distinctions were not applicable during the. All Revolutionary cavalrymen were considered light dragoons.
A regiment of dragoons was a body of horse soldiers divided into five or six subunits called troops. Each troop consisted (in 1781) of 60 privates and a number of noncommissioned officers, and was commanded by a captain, two lieutenants and a junior officer called a cornet. In actual practice, troop strengths often fell far below the prescribed 60-man total. The commander of a regiment was a colonel. Often, however, the lieutenant-colonel - the second-in-command - actually directed the regiment in field operations.
There were four regiments of light dragoons in the Continental Army. The Continental Army was the national army, paid by and acting under the supervision of the Continental Congress. Other dragoon units existed, but they were raised and paid by individual states, or were parts of another kind of Continental unit called legions, which also contained infantry (Lt. Col. Henry "Light Horse Harry" Lee's famous Partisan Legion was one of these; it served ably in both in the Northern and Southern theaters of the war).
