E : "Early Virginia Religious Petitions"

"Early Virginia Religious Petitions presents images of 423 petitions submitted to the Virginia legislature between 1774 and 1802 from more than eighty counties and cities. Drawn from the Library of Virginia's Legislative Petitions collection, the petitions concern such topics as the historic debate over the separation of church and state championed by James Madison and Thomas Jefferson, the rights of dissenters such as Quakers and Baptists, the sale and division of property in the established church, and the dissolution of unpopular vestries."

H : "Hessians"

"Additionally, over the course of the war the British hired about 30,000 soldiers from German princes, these soldiers were called "Hessians" because many of them came from Hesse-Kassel. The troops were mercenaries in the sense of professionals who were hired out by their prince. Germans made up about one-third of the British troop strength in North America."

"American Revolutionary War : Armies, militias, and mercenaries" : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Revolutionary_War#Armies.2C_militias.2C_and_mercenaries

Or

H : Henry Hamilton

"Henry Hamilton was the British governor of Fort Detroit during the American Revolution. Hamilton was known as the "hair buyer" because of his policy of paying Indian allies for American scalps. Symbolizing the brutal fighting that took place in the Ohio Country during the revolution, both the English and the Americans engaged in this practice. In 1779, George Rogers Clark captured Hamilton during a raid into modern-day Indiana. Hamilton was taken in chains to Williamsburg, Virginia, where he was treated very poorly as a prisoner."

I confirm the H for Hessians.

O for Oneida- One of the 5 tribes of the Iroquois, Allies of the Brits during the War. The Iroquois met their final defeat during the War of Independence.

R is for Rochambeau, Comte Jean de - A French General during the War. Placing the French army in the hands of Washington was vital during the War.
