Summary
The 14th Continental Regiment also known as The Marblehead Regiment was rasied as a Massachusetts milita regiment on April 23, 1775 at Marblehead, Massachusetts under the command of John Glover. The regiment would soon join the Continental Army in June of 1775. The seafareing Marblehead men would man the boats during the New York Campaign and the crossing of the Delaware River during the Battle of Trenton. The men of the regiment only had year and a half enlistments and the regiment was disbanded on December 31, 1776 in eastern Pennsylvania. Most of the men would take up the more profitable trade of Privateers for the remainder of the American Revolutionary War.
