| - | ====James Grey==== | + | ====Colonel Grey==== |
| - | Previously a captain in Col. Thomas Grey's Foot. | + | According to Spring, this was James Grey, previously a captain in Col. Thomas Grey's Foot. However evidence uncovered by Ivor Carr suggests that Henry Grey, previously Lt Col of [[parliamentarian:foot-regiments:lord-grey-of-groby|Lord Grey of Groby's Regiment of Foot]] succeeded Rainsborough. |

| + | (Lieutenant Colonel of 09/02/44 - 22/09/44; Colonel 04/04/45 - 25/08/46. His service as Colonel is stated as having been in Lincolnshire. This suggests that we may be maybe dealing with two different regiments. In fact it appears Grey took over [[parliamentarian:foot-regiments:thomas-rainsborough|Colonel Thomas Rainsborough’s Regiment of Foot]] and that Spring is mistaken in giving this to Col James Grey) | ||

Rossiter's otherwise unknown regiment of Foot during the period in question. He later led [[commonwealth:foot-regiments:peter-stubber|Colonel Peter Stubber’s Regiment of Foot]] in Ireland. | ||
