"After all he was and considered himself a British citizen. I think he probably said something like, “The Redcoats are coming.” or maybe “The army is coming.” To me it makes more sense."

THAT makes even more sense. After the British had in addition to the Regulars, the Provincials and I think the local (Tory) militia.
Good call.
