According to Heitman's Register of Continental officers: Harrison, Benjamin (Va). Captain 13th Virginia, 16th December, 1776; regiment designated 9th Virginia, 14th September, 1778; was in service in 1780; retired 12th February, 1781, with rank of Major. You can explore the Regiment's commanding officers and the numerous Company Captains of the 13th Virginia Regiment (Continental) in the book, here: http://www.hudsonrivervalley.net/books/historicalregister/ A summary of the 13th Virginia's history and assignments can be found here (largely taken from Robert K.
