HISTORY OF MILLBURY
the South Parish of Sutton but whose remains have been interred in Millbury cemeteries. The records of those who went out on the Lexington alarm are accessible but an account of those who served later in the war is not easy to procure. In some cases, too, a name has been found and presumably the right record is given although in a few instances this has not been without some uncer- tainty as several names in the list of Massachusetts men would be the same. Terms of enlistment were short because both colonial and state governments were em- barrassed for funds and each Province or Colony was jealous about having its own militia come under any but its own officers.
In reality the Revolutionary soldiery was the irregular armed force which sought to repel the British troops. The American soldier depended upon the rising but still uncertain government which had been created parallel to and as a successor of the previously established British rule. The struggle, in short, was a Civil War in which the colonists won the fruits of victory.
A record of Massachusetts soldiers in the Revolution has been published but its volumes are so bulky that it is in few private libraries. It may be consulted, however, in the larger, well-appointed libraries throughout the state.
