All officers were appointed and commissioned by the Governor. It was commanded by Colonel Anthony Bledsoe. This unit did not see any action in the Revolutionary War. This Davidson County became part of Tennessee. It was named for Colonel William Lee Davidson, who was killed at the Battle of Cowan's Ford during the American Revolution.

It was commanded by Colonel Joseph Harden, Sr. and Colonel Alexander Outlaw. The Green County Regiment was active until the end of the war. Because it was created so late, none of its units participated in any battles or skirmishes.
