The Battle of Dettingen 1743 Officers under the Earl of Stair

[Scott_M]

My 6 x Grt Grandfather fought in The War of Succession 1740 to 1748..
 - A John McMorland B 1702 D 1783 - Passed down the family that he served under General Stair alongside Sir Andrew Agnew from lochnaw (Lieutenant Colonel)... Some info was listed in the book published 1898 - Regiments and armories of Massachusetts; an historical narration of the Massachusetts volunteer militia, with portraits and biographies of officers past and present - a descendant on reflection to his military career reflection on his ancestry military career made reference to the above...
My question to any military historian out there who is clued up (Cause I am not)  Are there any archives that may exist that could list a record or reflect any soldier / officer of this period and regiment ? National Archives ?
Would be grateful for any leads on this ..
Thank you readers

I believe the first Army List (of officers) starts about 1760. But you could try the London Gazette Archive. It's online. There may be General's dispatches about the campaign that will list some officers. Also, if you know the regiments present - they should be listed under the Colonel's name - you can look for their commissions in regiments present.

May help narrow the search.
