EDITOR'S PREFACE.


This volume contains the rolls of the soldiers who served in the Revo- lutionary War from this state from the beginning of that memorable struggle to May. 1777, so far as the same are in the possession of the state, or could be procured elsewhere by the editor. They will be of great value to town historians, biographers, genealogists, and others who are engaged in tracing the history of their ancestors with a purpose to place the same in compact and permanent form.


It is to be regretted that some of the early rolls have not been found. If they come to light later, they will be published in a subsequent volume.


The rolls herein published do not exhibit the entire service rendered by some of the men, as some of the regiments were incorporated into the regular "Continental Army," and thereafter paid by continental pay- masters ; consequently some of the pay-rolls are in the possession of the United States government, and are held as vouchers. The muster and bounty rolls and regimental returns will, however, give the names once each, at least, of nearly all who served subsequent to January, 1776 ; and when these rolls. returns, and other documents are all published, the res- idences of most of the men can be ascertained, with the help of a com- plete index, which has been carefully compiled.


The large number of letters of inquiry from persons within and with- out the state, which have been received by the editor since he com- menced the compilation of these rolls, are abundant evidence of a grow- ing public interest in the history of our state, and fully sustain the action of the governor and council in authorizing their publication under the resolution of the legislature of ISS1.

EDITOR'S PREFACE.


The editor has been encouraged and sustained in his labor by the uniform kindness and favor of His Excellency Samuel W. Hale, and the honorable council ; and many other gentlemen from various parts of the state, who have visited him, have shown a deep interest in the work, and spoken words of counsel and encouragement which have been very helpful.


The publication of the second volume of rolls has been commenced, and the work will issue in due time (D. V.).

ROLLS OF THE MEN WHO WERE ENGAGED IN THE FRENCH AND REVOLUTIONARY WARS.


[The following were copied from manuscript volumes in the office of the adjutant-general, the largest portion of which are Revolu- tionary War Rolls. A large part of the rolls of the various Indian and French wars was published in the adjutant-general's report in 1866; a few, which have come to light since that volume issued, are inserted in this. The figures in brackets at the beginning of each document refer to the manuscript volume and page where the originals may be found.]

[An expedition was sent from England, which arrived in Boston July 1, 1710, to assist in capturing Port Royal in Nova Scotia. The provinces of New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island raised their respective quotas of troops, provisions, etc., and the fleet sailed from Nantasket September 18, arriving at Port Royal on the 24th ; an immediate attack was made, which resulted in the capture of the fort on the 5th of October. After its capture the place was named Annapolis Royal, in honor of Queen Anne; and the following companies left to hold the fort. The first is copied entire, and abstracts are made giving the important parts of the others .- ED. ]
