I have come across a profile that needs American Revolution categorization.

This person served in the Revolution, but I can't find all the categories for his service, they may not exist yet. I did find one for "Battle of Eutaw Springs".

I moved this question to the Genealogy Help category because I think your main need here is for assistance in associating the name of his commanding officer (what many of us find for our Rev War ancestors) with a numbered military unit (what most of the categories use).
Thanks!

You could use the Roll of Honor categorization: [[Category: Killed in Action, American Revolution]] to honor this man .

I did not find his service in Captain Jonathan Yates' Company among your sources, so you should add the source. Captain Yates' company in the militia is categorized as "Lower Battalion, Charles County Militia, Maryland Militia, American Revolution". With this info, you can create a 1776 Sticker:  {{1776 Sticker | rank= Private | unit= Lower Battalion, Charles County Militia, Maryland Militia, American Revolution}}

Hope this helps!
