Notes
Luttrell was commissioned to raise regiments of Horse and Foot as part of a plan to retake control of Barnstaple and North Devon. It is not clear if any men were actually raised and he may instead have taken over Sir Samuel Rolles Trained Band Regiment in which he had previously served. The Volunteer regiment was officially reduced 01/12/44. Capt Chappell was landed at Ilfracombe 01/07/44 from the ship Marmaduke.
