"...the Rangers was the only Loyalist Regiment that was authorized to enlist Europeans. The Rangers gradually grew to be more a European than an American Regiment. To illustrate this fact, it may be stated that on the 24th August, 1780, according to the muster rolls, in which, contrary to the usual
course, the nationality of the officers and men was given, the Rangers...were found to be composed
as follows:
Irish. 219
Americans 158
English 132
Scotch 64
Foreigners - 30
