Holman's Regiment of Militia also known as the 5th Worchester County Militia Regiment was called up at Sutton, Massachusetts on September 26, 1777 as reinforcements for the Continental Army during the Saratoga Campaign. The regiment marched quickly to join the gathering forces of Gen. Horatio Gates as he faced British Gen. John Burgoyne in northern New York. The regiment served in Gen. Warner's brigade. With the surrender of Burgoyne's Army on October 17 the regiment was disbanded on October 27, 1777.
