Regarding the composition of Enoch Poor's brigade at Ticonderoga. Neither of the two New York regiments (actually, battalions)with Poor at the first battle of Saratoga 19 September 1777 were at Fort Ticonderoga. For instance, one was the 4th Battalion-New York Provincial Forces commanded by Col Henry Beekman Livingston. This battalion of 302 men was not assigned to Poor's brigade until 23 August 1777, when Poor was at Loudon's Ferry.

See: General Horatio Gates' letter of August 22, 1777 to General George Washington from "Headquarters, Van Schaick Island" shortly after his arrival there to assume command of the Northern Department. It states, in part:

Sir:

"Upon my arrival in this department I found the main body of the Army encamped upon Van Schaick Island, which is made by the sprouts of the Mohawk River joining with the Hudson River nine miles north of Albany. A brigade under General Poor is encamped at Loudon's Ferry, on the south bank of the Mohawk River, five miles hence…Colonels (Henry B.) Livingston's and Courtland's (Philip Van Cortland's) Regiments arrived yesterday (August 21st) and immediately joined General Poor's Division…"

Prior to August 23,1777 the 4th had been assigned to the 2nd Connecticut Brigade of Lt. Gen. Jedidiah Huntington.
