I have been studying the Bergen County Militia and complying a list of the units from various sources. Do you know that Bergen County Militia is one of the units that fought under General Washington in the Battle of Long Island, Battle of Kips Bay and the Battle of White Plains. They were also at Fort lee and made the march accross New Jersey. Most of the Bergen County units were released at New Brunswick. Thier enlishments were up and the officers were returned to Bergen County to hold against the Loyalists. At Long Island the NJ militia were in Heard's Brigade under Brigadier General Nathaniel Heard; Bridage Major Peter Gordin and the following: Colonel David Forman with 372 men. Colonel Philip Johnston with 234 men. Colonel Ephraim Martin with 382 men. Colonel Silas Newcomb with 336 men. Colonel Philip Van Cortlandt with 269 men. The following is a list of what I found of the Bergen County Militia: Bergen County Militia Dey , Teunis Colonel Zabriskie. John Lieutenant-Colonel Van Voorst ,CorneliusLieutenant-Colonel Fell.
