Possibly part of the Essex militia. The regiment were paid by the Essex county committee in 1648, not forming part of the army. Four troops were present at Colchester commanded by Major Sparrow. Captain Turner’s company of dragoons may have formed part of this regiment. Their chaplain was paid in 1645 and 1646. They were likely the Colchester garrison regiment during the First Civil War.
