LIBRARY OF THE VETERANS, Ninth Regiment, N.G.S.N.Y, NEW YORK, N. Y, WASHINGTON, D. C. : W. H. LOWDERMILK & Co. 1893. 953062A Copyright, 1892. Bv F. B. H HITMAN PREFACE. In 1873 the undersigned commenced the compilation of " The Historical Register of Officers of the United States Army, September, 1789, to Septem.- ber, 1889," which was published in 1890. In the preparation of that work he found it necessary to examine the various military rolls, lists, orders, and other records of the Revolutionary War, on file in the various Executive Departments of the Government, in order to identify and show as far as possible the services of the earlier appointed officers in that eventful period of our country's history. Finding, however, as he progressed, that the mass of Revolutionary Records was larger than anticipated, and far more than he could examine and compare in the period allotted to the task, it was for a time laid aside. The extracts then made, supplemented by additional data from the original records and other authentic sources, are presented herewith. In making the examination, his aim was only to include officers of the ■Continental Army ; for, to have included all the Militia, Minute Men, Rangers, Riflemen and other kindred organizations (whose terms of service In many cases were but of short duration, although most valuable at very Important periods) would have entailed labor far beyond the capacity of a single individual to accomplish in a lifetime, and could never be made even approximately complete. However, the names of a number of militia officers appear herein, which have been found in such records as have been examined, who are mentioned in orders or correspondence, were killed or wounded, died, (tc, and whose names are inserted to establish their identity or to trace, if possible, the personality of some whose names do not appear in full. Nor is the list of Continental officers complete, for the reason that w there are no complete rolls or returns of many of the organizations on file. VJ It is believed, however, that fully nine-tenths of the names have been ^^ obtained. ^. Many of the facis recorded herein are incomplete, but all that were ^tffc found are here. No doubt many of the descendants can supply the missing " data concerning their ancestors. In an extensive work of this kind 4 doubtless iiiany errors will be found, owiiif; to the aVjsence of many records from which positive data could be obtained. Names are spelled variously on different rolls ; dates of appointment and commission frequently vary as often as there are rolls upon which the names appear ; however, it was impossible to avoid mistakes. In the preimration of this work the compiler has also consulted and availed himself of the free use of various authentic works relating to the subject, and thus connected many of the missing links from the official records. It gives him great pleasure to acknowledge here his obligations to Mr. S. M. Hamilton, of the State Department, for his valuable services in aiding in the preparation of this work. Having been engaged for many years in work which included the care and custody of the official i)aper8 referring to the Revolutionary period, he has become thoroughly familiar ■with the subject. He has permitted me to avail myself of his accurate knowledge with a courtesy and willingness to assist, whenever his exacting official duties allowed him, that has rendered our association most pleasant. He is now preparing, when not otherwise engaged, an index, which when completed will render it vastly more practicable to obtain information from these voluminous records. The largest and most important collection of Records of the War of the Revolution is on file in the Department of State, embracing the personal papers of General Washington, his orders and letters, rolls, regimental returns, lists of officers, commissions, casualty lists, &c. In the Pension Bureau, Department of the Interior, are about two hundred volumes of muster rolls, miscellaneous papers, and individual papers of applicants for lands or pensions. In the Treasury Department are many papers relating mainly to payments, depreciation pay accounts, transfers of funds, dis- bursements, &c., and a few rolls of some militia organizations. In all these Departments the arrangement of these Records is such that information on any required point, or regarding the services of any specific individual cannot be readily obtained, if at all, for lack of a proper index, as Congress has never made any provision or appropriation for that pur- pose. Many of these records are in tatters, worn to rags by handling, ink faded and otherwise defaced ; but still it is surprising to see, after the lapse of over a century, the general good condition of these most valuable papers, which have thus been preserved to the country. Will age improve their condition? It is not to be expected ; on the contrary, it is only a question of a very few years when dilapidation will have reached a point at which these important papers will have become undecipherable. The Act of Congress approved July 27, 1892, provides "That the ""military records of the American Revolution ***** now pre- " served in the Treasury and Interior Departments be transferred to the "War Department, to be preserved in the Record and Pension Office of *'that Department, and that they shall be properly indexed and arranged " for use." The provisions of this Act are good as far as they go. The majority of the American people not only wish to know that there are in the various Departments of the Grovernment places where these records are stored, but wish to know their contents ; the simple knowledge that they are being Indexed in order to be able to state that a certain individual served in a certain comj^any or regiment is not sufficient. Why can they not be arranged, published and distriVjuted throughout the country on a similar plan to that pursued in the case of the records of the War of the Rebellion ? Or, if that is imjiracticable, why not have them co[>ied just as they are and printed for distribution to the various libraries, historical societies, and State capitals of the country, in order that all interested, either for personal use or for historical purposes, may read, examine and learn lessons of patriotism from them at their leisure. A great many of the original rolls, returns, orders, and much of the correspondence is dispersed throughout the country in possession of the different States, historical societies, libraries and individuals. All these parties would, doubtless, loan such records to the Government for the pur- pose of being copied, or furnish authenticated copies thereof, in order to complete as far as possible the chain of records of that most important part of the history of our country. The course thus indicated would give us the names of all the heroes who participated in that glorious struggle for our national independence, whether they were officers, or soldiers who shouldered the musket ; for all dared, braved and suffered in order that we might partake of the blessings of that freedom which we now so happily enjoy. Many of the descendants of the revolutionary heroes and martyrs are at this time forming themselves into societies or joining the order of the Cincinnati to perjjetuate the glorious deeds of their sires. And in this connection no more laudable aim should animate them than to strive to have these records, which have slumbered for over a century in the catacombs of the various Departments, resurrected and published, in order G that our cliildren, uiid the sons and daughters of generations to follow us, may well learn the lesson of our early history which culminated in our indejjendence, and revere the ashes of our departed heroes. At no time in our history lias the inculcating of patriotism so obtained among our peojjle as at the present time. Above our school-houses, that for a century have had no mark to distinguish them as public edifices, now waves the flag that is the symbol of this Nation. In many of our schools the Stars and Stripes are brought every morning to be saluted by the assembled children. The modest button of the Sons and Daughters of the Revolution is accounted the proudest l)adge that can be worn, and rich and poor vie for its privilege. Though Ave have had wars for conquest and wars for tlie maintenance of the law and Constitution, in which valorous deeds were done and brave men died, the one great conflict concerning whose principles every American may meet on common ground is the War of Independence. To perpetuate those f)rinciples, to instil into the young mind the glowing truths for which our fathers fought and sealed with their lives, should be the foremost aim of every true American.

FIELD OFFICERS OF REGIMENTS OF THE CONTINENTAL LINE. Note. — The appointment of the first and termination of service of the last field oflfieer of each regiment or battalion, as a general rule, indicates the term, of service of each organization. While many of the regiments bore a numerical designation, they were, however, generally known and designated in orders and correspondence by the names of their respective colonels or commanders. The term battalion, in.stead of i-egiment, appears to have been the general designation. The dates here given are not in all cases dates of rank, but only the periods they belonged to the battalion; for date of rank and continuity of service see alphabetical list. It will be observed that in many cases the successive order is somewhat irregular, which is owing to many causes, viz: absence of comj^lete records; the several rearrangements made by law: by the authority of the com- manding generals of the different departments, and by the apjjointment or promotion in the place of those absent on detached duty, sick, prisoners of war, &c., and who on return of such absence were returned to their former or assigned to other regiments. In addition to the list of regiments or battalions herewith there were others belonging to the Continental Line — the Pulaski Legion, Lee's battalion of Light Dragoons, Armand's Partisan Corps, Corps of Engineers, Sappers and Miners, and Rangers, but only few rolls or lists of these are on file, not sufficient to make an approximately correct roster of field officers, hence they are omitted; such names, however, as were found of these organizations appear in the alphabetical list. 14 ARTILLERY. « i lUIM.I.V's AM) Knox's Kl'.iilMKNT OK A UTI I.l-KUY. <'o1(»ihI Iticli.inl (iriiilry, liitli May, 177."), to 17th November, 177").
