NYS Revolutionary War accounts and claims
From the NYS archives
Series A0200
The following is from the state’s archives and is their description of a very useful series for research or those interested in the nuts and bolts of a very interesting and complicated portion of NY’s history-“This series consists of documents compiled by auditors related to liquidating financial obligations incurred by New York State during the Revolutionary War. The records document the service of and compensation due to soldiers and others who provided goods or services to the State during the war. Most documents are financial in nature but also included are certificates by commanding officers, assignments of land bounty rights, several muster and payrolls, and documentation of the seizure and sale of loyalists’ lands.”
From my use of certain books in the collection, they survived the 1911 Albay library fire-their fire damage or lost sections of the books. Apparently not searchable, but for anyone who as researched items before, you can place them in the old book,page and line by line routine.
