Appendix E.
SOLDIERS OF THE REVOLUTION.
In chapters XI and XII of this History lists are given of men who served on Amherst's quota during the war of the Revolution. These lists are copied from the original muster-rolls now on file among the state archives at Boston. These rolls are, in many instances, incomplete as regards giving the particular place of residence of members of companies and regiments. In making up the lists of Amherst soldiers all names were included which are by the rolls accredited to
611
SOLDIERS OF THE REVOLUTION.
Amherst, and others borne by Amherst men known to have been engaged in the service, whose names appear on the rolls unaccompanied by place of residence. As in the war for the preservation of the Union so in the war of the Revolution, men served on Amherst's quota who were not natives or residents of the town. While it seems proper to give in this volume the names of all credited to Amherst, it also seems desirable that a distinction be made between those of known residence in Amherst at the time of service and others concerning whom nothing is to be found in the public records of the time. With this end in view two lists are here pre- sented, the first containing the names of Amherst residents who served in the war. the second those of persons credited to Amherst but whose residence here the publishers have not been able to establish. The first list is made up of names familiar to all who have read the pages of this History ; the second contains many previously unknown to the town's records.
