New York Militia

Here's another Militia unit, this time with their coats in shades of grey with medium blue facings. 

The population of the New York Colony in 1780 is estimated at about 163,000, compared to 235,000 for Massachusetts and 184,000 for Connecticut. The colony with the largest population by far was Virginia, at roughly 447,00 people, although roughly 280,000 of those were slaves, compared to relatively small numbers in the other three states in question.

The bulk of the population of New York was found in the city and along the Hudson River.

New York militia units featured prominently in the Saratoga campaign of 1777 and others

These are Brigade Games figures once again, sculpted by Paul Hicks. 

The flag bears the arms of New York, and is once again by Adolfo Ramos.
