Muster Rolls Of New York Provincial Troops 1755 1764

The year 1757 is missing.

Originally published in 1892. This volume is produced from digital images from the Cornell University Library New York State Historical monographs collection.

This volume contains the muster of the various regiments and smaller organizations of troops from the province of New York that served during the Seven Years' War in America--the war that eliminated France once and for all as a power in the New World. The muster rolls cover the entire period of that war, from 1755 to 1763, except for the records from 1757, which are lost. Genealogists will find a mine of information here, including the numbers and designations of the companies, the names of the privates and officers, and personal information such as height, age, complexion, place of birth, trade, localities where enlisted, and dates of enlistment. Also of special interest to both genealogists and those interested in the colonial history of New York is the Appendix, which includes a list of all acts of the legislature under which the various regiments and troops were raised, equipped, paid, and subsisted, as well as the official orders of New York governors relative to the war; lists of commissioned officers, deserters, and deceased soldiers; a book of military appointments and other military information from 1759, 1760, and 1761; and a list of warrants issued to captains for bounty and enlistment monies.

Concise history of the valiant service of New York’s African American soldiers.

Genealogists and other historical researchers have valued the first two editions of this work, often referred to as the genealogist's bible."" The new edition continues that tradition. Intended as a handbook and a guide to selecting, locating, and using appropriate primary and secondary resources, The Source also functions as an instructional tool for novice genealogists and a refresher course for experienced researchers. More than 30 experts in this field--genealogists, historians, librarians, and archivists--prepared the 20 signed chapters, which are well written, easy to read, and include many helpful hints for getting the most out of whatever information is acquired. Each chapter ends with an extensive bibliography and is further enriched by tables, black-and-white illustrations, and examples of documents. Eight appendixes include the expected contact information for groups and institutions that persons studying genealogy and history need to find. ""
