William Ogilby
Following the regiment's disbanding it was intended to send Ogilby to Yorkshire to serve as Sargeant Major General to Lord Fairfax. But it seems he did not take up the position. He was paid a months entertainment in this role on the 25th November, but in a second document 4 days later for wagon money the phrase “Sargeant Major General to Lord Fairfax” is deleted and replaced with “Colonel”
