New York in the Revolution and War of 1812 Military Record
In records ranging from military diaries and muster rolls
to historical essays, this database details New York's
participation in the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812.
Among the books selected for inclusion in this database
you'll find biographies and genealogies for thousands of
individuals who fled to Connecticut following the Battle
of Long Island in 1776 and an index to claims filed by New
York residents who served in the War of 1812. In addition,
you'll find a comprehensive report by the State Historian
that identifies every person listed on muster rolls between
1664 and 1775. This list is especially useful because nearly
all of the original muster rolls for colonial wars were
destroyed in a 1911 fire at the state library.
Books Included:
- Orderly Book of the Three Battalions of Loyalists
- The Refugees of 1776 from Long Island to Connecticut
- Index of Awards On Claims of the Soldiers of the War of 1812
- Muster and Pay Rolls of the War of the Revolution
