Notes

The regiment included many Scots. Some of Crawford’s officers joined Colonel James Hamilton’s Regiment of Horse, including Capt John Ridpath, captured at Langport in 1645. Possibly this was on Crawford’s return North in 1644. Others appear to have joined Andrew Lyndsey's regiment of horse around the same time.
