Description
Organized by campaign, regiment, and company, these rosters give the names of soldiers and officers and their rank, dates of enlistment and discharge, and occasional additional data such as date of death. “Nearly all of the rolls printed on this volume…are from [the] Adams Papers within the State Library. As well as there are rolls from the series lettered “War”, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, a number of the bound volumes of archives within the State Library, a number from the archives of the Connecticut Historical Society, a couple of from private sources, and {several|a couple of|a number of} from the New York Historical Society’s Collections for 1891. Items have also been gleaned from a volume of army accounts 1755-1758 within the Comptroller’s Place of job, from the printed series of the Records of the Colony of Connecticut, and from the file of the Connecticut Gazette within the Yale University Library.” This used to be first published as the Collections of the Connecticut Historical Society, Volume IX. A full name index adds to the worth of this work.
