Note:
This is a most confusing unit. Both first hand reports state it is 2nd Battalion while also making reference to command structure that is definately 3rd Regiment. It may very well be that when the militia was called up in June they were part of 2nd Battalion of State Troops but when they were actually called up in November, they were formed up into 3rd regiment.
Unless I find something that leads me back to the 2nd, I am leaving it here in the 3rd.
