Revolutionary Records of the State:
In the compilation of the following Military and Naval record of Connecticut
in the War of the Revolution, as called for by Act of the General Assembly
approved April 13, 1887, various sources of information have been sought and
examined. The original and official manuscripts bearing upon the history of
that interesting period are, and long have been, in a more or less dispersed
condition a fact true of the records of all the Thirteen States and
in some instances the greater part has been either lost or destroyed. In the
case of Connecticut, while certain gaps occur at intervals in the continuity
of her Revolutionary Papers, the more valuable portions have fortunately been
preserved and are deposited in permanent and accessible archives. Of this material,
the State herself retains a considerable proportion, the Departments of the
General Government at Washington contain much, and the remainder has passed
by gift and purchase into the keeping of individuals, Societies, and Libraries
throughout the country. For convenient reference the documents may be classified
as follows:
1. The original minutes of the proceedings of the General Assembly of Connecticut,
covering the period of the war, on file in the office of the Secretary of State,
Hartford.
2. The original minutes of the proceedings of the Governor and Council, or
Committee of War, covering the period of the war, on file in the State Library,
Hartford.
3. Pay-rolls of the Connecticut Regiments in the Continental Line
for certain years, and scattering pay-table accounts of State troops and militia,
together with individual accounts, bound in twelve volumes, on file in the
office of the State Comptroller, Hartford.
4. Thirty-eight bound folio volumes, marked Revolutionary War,
covering a period of ten years or more from 1774, and containing numerous original
rolls, letters, accounts, resolutions, petitions, town-lists, and similar material,
unbound, on file in the State Library.
5. Rolls, letters, and various documents bearing on the service of Connecticut
troops, on file among the papers of General Washington in the Department of
State, Washington, D.C.
6. Forty-seven bound folio volumes, containing company and regimental muster
and pay rolls of the regiments of the Connecticut Line, together
with numerous militia rolls and miscellaneous papers, and the large mass of
applications for pension, on file in the Pension bureau, Department of the
Interior, Washington, D.C.
7. The Trumbull Papers, consisting of twenty-two bound volumes,
containing the official correspondence of Governor Jonathan Trumbull of Connecticut
during the entire period of the war, inclusive also of many rolls and miscellaneous
documents, in possession of the Massachusetts Historical Society, Boston.
8. Various Revolutionary papers, military and naval, in possession of the Connecticut
Historical Society, Hartford.
9. Forty or more Orderly Books, kept by Connecticut officers during the war,
containing general, division, brigade, and regimental orders issued in camp
and on the march, in the possession for the most part of individuals and Societies.
10. Miscellaneous letters, rolls, maps, diaries, and other papers in the hands
of descendants of Revolutionary soldiers, individuals, and collectors, or deposited
in Libraries and State and Town archives.
Supplementing these documents, and included among the authorities on which
this work is based, must be mentioned the mass of original letters and papers
which have found their way into print in such publications as Forces American
Archives, the volumes issued by Historical Societies, magazines, genealogies,
monographs, and Town historians.
Arrangement of the Rolls:
The several rolls and lists in the following pages, compiled from the foregoing
records, have been arranged chronologically according go the description of
the service in which the troops engaged. Thus, after the first alarm, the Continental
soldiers are classified in the order in which they were called out, then the
State troops, and finally the Militia, with special lists following.
1. The Lexington Alarm. The first lists in the record, grouped under
the head of the Outbreak of the War, include the names of the men
who, under the provocation of the moment, marched to the relief of their Massachusetts
neighbors in the Lexington Alarm. Some explanation of the nature of this service
appears in the introductory text on pages 3 and 4. It will be observed that
the forty-eight towns from which the companies set out represent, with three
exceptions, the eastern and central counties, which were then the thickly settled
sections of the State, the nearest to the point of danger, the best prepared
for an emergency, and the most accessible in case of alarm. It may also be
noticed that the four thousand townsmen who responded to the Lexington call
were a representative body, largely descendants of original settlers, including
all elements in the different communities, -- judges, pastors, lawyers, physicians,
farmers, mechanics, sailors, laborers, -- and that as a list of a respectable
number of the main inhabitants of the State in 1775, which may be utilized
in historical and genealogical researches, a peculiar interest attaches to
it. Following in their proper place are the names of men engaged in the Ticonderoga
enterprise.
2. Continental Troops.Next in order have been arranged the rolls of
the Connecticut quota of that part of the Revolutionary forces known as the Continental troops,
which constituted the body of Washingtons army in the field throughout
the war. They stand first in importance, as explained on page 34, and as appears
from their military history in the text introductory to the subdivisions A,
B, C, and D, under which they have been classified. After the Lexington Alarm
the State raised eight regiments, which were adopted as Continental, to serve
to the close of the year 1775. She furnished eight for the year 1776, and eight,
with a large additional quota, for the three years
term from 1777 to 1781. Thereafter, from 1781 to 1783, the numbers were reduced
by consolidations. The rosters of these troops form a large portion of the
record (page 33 to 370), and with the exception of some of the rolls for 1775
and the greater part of those for 1776, are believed to be substantially complete.
In view of the importance of the campaign of 1776, it is to be regretted that
the rolls of seven of the Continental regiments for that year are missing.
The names of very many of the men, however, appear on the rolls of 1775, when
they served their first term, or on the rolls of 1777, when they re-enlisted
for three years or [sic] the war, or again on the rolls of State troops and
militia in the subsequent years. In the absence of these lists the number of
officers and soldiers that entered the Continental service from Connecticut
during the war can only be approximately estimated, but it may be placed at
about fifteen thousand.
3. State Troops Under this heading appear a certain number of regiments
which were neither Continental nor militia, but were raised mainly in the early
part of the war, to act as reinforcements for the army in the field, for limited
terms. Organized by authority of the State or the Governor, with the officers commissions
signed by the Governor, they were designated as State troops, and at different
periods rendered considerable service.
4. The Militia. The third distinctive class of troops was the standing
Militia of the State, whose rolls, so far as preserved, are arranged, like
the preceding, in chronological order. Here again several serious gaps occur
in the list, which is a special misfortune from a historical point of view,
inasmuch as the militia represented the greater part of the male population
of the State. The rolls here published, however, represent a fair proportion
of the regiments and men that were called into active service. From the return,
as given on page 447, for the year 1782, it may be inferred that the number
of effective militia varied during the years of the war from twenty-two to
twenty-five thousand.
5. Miscellaneous Rolls. The closing pages of the work contain such
portions of the Naval record of Connecticut as have been preserved among the
documents, also unclassified lists of minutemen, volunteers, independent companies,
and individual officers and soldiers, and copies of the Pension lists as published
in Congressional and Government documents at various periods since the war.
The number of separate names in the following lists, as arranged in the Index,
reaches a total of twenty-seven thousand eight hundred and twenty-three. In
a few cases, probably, through different spelling of names, the same individual
has been entered more than once. On the other hand, it is to be observed that
in numerous cases the same name represents different individuals. Thus in the
Lexington Alarm list, the William Lyon, of New Haven, could not have been the
WILLIAM LYON of WOODSTOCK, nor Lieut. William Adams, of the Fourth Connecticut
Line for 1777-81, be either of the privates of the same name in his regiment.
In the Index, however, these five individuals count only as two
William Lyon and William Adams. The identity of others, owing to the
absence of a residence column in many of the rolls, cannot always
be distinguished.
