PREFACE. 
 
 In 1873 the undersigned commenced the compilation of k 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, &c., 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. Xor is the list of Continental officers complete, for the reason that 
 there are no complete rolls or returns of niany of the organizations on file. 
 It is believed, however, that fully nine-tenths of the names have been 
 obtained. 
 
 Many of the facts recorded herein are incomplete, but all that were 
 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 many errors will be found, owing to the absence 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 preparation 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 w r ork. Having been engaged for many 
 years in work which included the care and custody of the official papers 
 referring to the Revolutionary period, he has become thoroughly familiar 
 with the subject. He has permitted me to avail myself of his accurate 
 knowledge w r ith 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 
 
5 
 
 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 Government places Avhere 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 company or regiment is not sufficient. Why can they 
 not be arranged, published and distributed 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 impracticable, why not have them copied 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 perpetuate 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 
 
6 
 
 that our children, and the sons and daughters of generations to follow us,, 
 may well learn the lesson of our early history which culminated in our 
 independence, and revere the ashes of our departed heroes. 
 
 At no time in our history has the inculcating of patriotism so obtained 
 among our people 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 badge that can be worn, and rich 
 and poor vie for its privilege. 
 
 Though we have had wars for conquest and wars for the 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 principles, 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 officer 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, instead of regiment, 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 arid 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 complete records; 
 the several rearrangements made by law: by the authority of the com 
 manding generals of the different departments, and by the appointment 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.

 At request, General Washington 
 attended Congress, 26th August, 1783, 
 and, being introduced by two mem 
 bers, the President addressed him as 
 follows: " Sir, Congress feel particu 
 lar pleasure in seeing yourExcellency, 
 and in congratulating you on the suc 
 cess of a war, in which you have acted 
 so conspicuous a part. It has been the 
 singular happiness of the United 
 States, that during a war so long, so 
 dangerous and so important, Provi 
 dence has been graciously pleased to 
 preserve the life of a General, who 
 has merited and possessed the unin 
 terrupted confidence arid affection of 
 his fellow-citizens. In other nations, 
 many have performed services, for 
 which they have* deserved and re 
 ceived the thanks of the public. But 
 to you, sir, peculiar praise is due. 
 Your services have been essential in 
 acquiring and establishing the free 
 dom and independence of your coun 
 try. They deserve the grateful 
 acknowledgments of a free arid inde 
 pendent nation. Those acknowledg 
 ments, Congress have the satisfaction 
 of expressing to your Excellency. 
 Hostilities have now ceased, but your 
 country still needs your services. She 
 wishes to avail herself of your talents 
 in forming the arrangements which 
 will be necessary for her in time of 
 peace. For this reason your attend 
 ance at Congress has been requested. 
 A committee is appointed to confer 
 with your Excellency, and to receive 
 your assistance in preparing arid di 
 gesting plans relative to those im 
 portant objects." 
 
 To which His Excellency made the 
 following reply : 
 
 "Mr. President: I am too sensible 
 of the honorable reception I have now 
 experienced, not to be penetrated 
 with the deepest feelings of gratitude. 
 Notwithstanding Congress appear to 
 estimate the value of my life beyond 
 any services I have been able to 
 render the United States, yet I must 
 be permitted to consider the wisdom 
 and unanimity of our national coun 
 cils, the firmness of our citizens arid 
 the patience and bravery of our 
 troops, Avhich have produced so 
 happy a termination of the war, as 
 the most conspicuous effect of the 
 Divine interposition, and the surest 
 presage of our future happiness. 
 
Washington. 
 
 Highly gratified by the favorable sen 
 timents which Congress are pleased 
 to express of my past conduct, and 
 amply rewarded by the confidence 
 and affection of mV fellow-citizens, 
 I cannot hesitate to contribute my 
 best endeavors towards the establish 
 ment of the national security in what 
 ever manner the sovereign power may 
 think proper to direct, until the ratifi 
 cation of the definitive treaty of 
 peace, or the final evacuation of our 
 country by the British forces; after 
 either of which events, I shall ask 
 permission to retire to the peaceful 
 shade of private life. Perhaps, sir, 
 no occasion may offer more suitable 
 than the present to express my hum 
 ble thanks to God, and acknowledg 
 ments to my country, for the great 
 and uniform support I have received 
 in every vicissitude of fortune, and 
 for the many distinguished honors 
 which Congress have been pleased to 
 confer upon me in the course of the 
 war. 11 
 
 In Congress, December, 23, 1783. 
 
 According to order, His Excellency, 
 the Commander-in-Chief, was admit 
 ted to a public audience, and being 
 seated, the President, after a pause, 
 informed him that the United States, 
 in Congress assembled, were prepared 
 to receive his communications; where 
 upon he arose arid addressed them as 
 follows : 
 
 "Mr. President : The great events 
 on which my resignation depended 
 having at length taken place, I have 
 now the honor of offering my sincere 
 congratulations to Congress, arid cf 
 presenting myself before them to sur 
 render into their hands the trust 
 committed to me, and to claim the in 
 dulgence of retiring from the service 
 of my country. 
 
 "Happy in the confirmation of our 
 independence and sovereignty, and 
 pleased with the opportunity afforded 
 the United States of becoming a re 
 spectable nation, I resign with satis 
 faction the appointment I accepted 
 with diffidence in my abilities to ac 
 complish so arduous a task ; which, 
 however, was superseded by a confi 
 dence in the rectitude of our cause, 
 the support of the supreme power of 
 the Union and the patronage of 
 Heaven. 
 
 "The successful termination of the 
 war has verified the most sanguine 
 expectations ; and my gratitude for 
 the interposition of Providence and 
 the assistance I have received from 
 my countrymen, increases with every 
 .review of the momentous contest. 
 
 421 Washington. 
 
 "While I repeat my obligations to 
 the army in general, I should do in 
 justice to my feelings not to acknowl 
 edge in this place the peculiar ser 
 vices and distinguished merits of the 
 gentlemen who have been attached to 
 my person during the war. It was 
 impossible the choice of confidential 
 officers to compose my family should 
 have been more fortunate. Permit 
 me, sir, to recommend in particular 
 those who have continued in the ser 
 vice to the present moment as worthy 
 of the favorable notice and patronage 
 of Congress. 
 
 "I consider it an indispensable duty 
 to close this last act of my official life 
 by commending the interests of our 
 dearest country to the protection of 
 Almighty God, and those who have 
 the superintendence of them to His 
 holy keeping. 
 
 "Having now finished the work as 
 signed me I retire from the great thea 
 tre of action, and bidding an affec 
 tionate farewell to this august body, 
 under whose orders I have so long 
 acted, I here offer my commission and 
 take my leave of all the employments 
 of public life. 1 
 
 He then advanced and delivered to 
 the President his commission, with a 
 c )py of his address, and, having re 
 sumed his place, the President re 
 turned him the following answer : 
 
 "Sir: The United States in Con 
 gress assembled, receive with emo 
 tions, too affecting for utterance, the 
 solemn resignation of the authorities 
 under which you have led their 
 troops with success through a per 
 ilous and a doubtful war. Called 
 upon by your country to defend its 
 invaded rights, you accepted the 
 sacred charge before it had formed 
 alliances and whilst it was without 
 funds or a government to support 
 you. You have conducted the great 
 military contest with wisdom and 
 fortitude, invariably regarding the 
 rights of the civil power through all 
 disasters and changes. You have, by 
 the love and confidence of your fel 
 low-citizens, enabled them to display 
 their martial genius, and transmit 
 their fame to posterity. You have 
 persevered till these United States, 
 aided by a magnanimous king and 
 nation, have been enabled, under a 
 just Providence, to close the war in 
 freedom, safety and independence; on 
 which happy event we sincerely join 
 you in congratulations. 
 
 Having defended the standard of 
 liberty in this new world ; having 
 taught a lesson useful to those who

 Waterman.. 
 
 inflict and to those who feel oppres 
 sion, you retire from the great theatre 
 of action, with the blessings of your 
 fellow-citizens, but the glory of your 
 virtues will not terminate with your 
 military command, it will continue to 
 animate remotest ages. 
 
 ki We feel with you our obligations 
 to the army in general, and will par 
 ticularly charge ourselves with the 
 interests of those confidential officers 
 who have attended your person to 
 this affecting moment. 
 
 " We join you in commending the 
 interests of our dearest country to 
 the protection of Almighty God, be 
 seeching Him to dispose the hearts 
 and minds of its citizens, to improve 
 the opportunity afforded them, of 
 becoming a happy and respectable 
 nation. And for you, we address to 
 Him our earnest prayers, that a life 
 so beloved may be fostered with all 
 His care, and that your days may be 
 happy as they have been illustrious, 
 and that He will finally give you that 
 reward which this world cannot 
 give. 1

THE LAST SOLDIER OF THE REVOLUTION. 
 
 Samuel Downing was born in Newburyport, Mass., November 31, 1761; 
 died in Edinburgh, Saratoga County, New York, February 19th, 1867, aged 
 105 years, 2 months, 19 days. He was the last soldier of the Revolution, and 
 received the last pension from the United States Government one hundred 
 and eighty dollars per year. He enlisted from Antrim, New Hampshire, at 
 Charlestown, New Hampshire, when he was 16 years old, and served in the 
 Second New Hampshire Regiment. His one hundreth birthday was cele 
 brated by his neighbors and friends upon his farm at Edinburgh, by the 
 firing of one hundred guns, and an address by George S. Batcheller, Esq., of 
 Saratoga. On this occasion Mr. Downing cut down a hemlock tree five feet 
 in circumference, and, later in the day, a wild cherry tree near his house of 
 half the size. The trees were sold upon the ground, and stripped of their 
 branches by those present for canes and other mementos of the occasion. 
 The stump of the larger one was sawed off and carried to Saratoga by Robert 
 Bevins, of that place.

 By the United States in Congress Assembled, 
 
 A PROCLAMATION! 
 
 Whereas, in the progress of ari arduous and difficult war, the armies of 
 the United States of America have eminently displayed every military and 
 patriotic virtue, and are not less to be applauded for their fortitude arid mag 
 nanimity in the most trying scenes of distress than for a series of heroic and 
 illustrious achievements, which exalt them to a high rank among the most 
 zealous and successful defenders of the rights and liberties of mankind : And, 
 whereas, by the blessing of Divine Providence on our cause and our arms, the 
 glorious period is arrived when our national independence and sovereignty 
 are established, and we enjoy the prospect of a permanent and honorable 
 peace ; we, therefore, the United States, in Congress assembled, thus im 
 pressed with a lively sense of the distinguished merit and good conduct of 
 the said armies, do give them the thanks of their country for their long, emi 
 nent and faithful services. And it is our will and pleasure that such part of 
 the federal armies as stands engaged to serve during the war, and as by our 
 acts of the 26th day of May, the llth day of June, the 9th day of August and 
 the 26th day of September last were furloughed, shall, from and after the 3d 
 day of November next, be absolutely discharged, by virtue of this our proc 
 lamation from the said service, and we do declare that the further services 
 in the field of the officers who are deranged and on furlough in consequence 
 of our aforesaid acts can now be dispensed with, and they have our full per 
 mission to retire from service, without being longer liable from their present 
 engagements to be called into command. Arid of such discharge and per 
 mission to retire from service respectively all our officers, civil and military, 
 and all others whom it may concern, are required to take notice and to gov 
 ern themselves accordingly. 
 
 Given under the seal of the United States, in Congress assembled, wit 
 ness His Excellency, ELIAS BOUDIXOT, our President in Congress, this 18th 
 day of October, in the year of our Lord 1783, and of the sovereignty and 
 independence of the United States of America the eighth.

 SIR : In Compliance with the resolution of the House of Representa 
 tives of the 8th instant, directing the Secretary of War "to report to this

 nish, with the exception of Foreign officers. There is no evidence in the 
 department to show which of them "were by the resolution of Congress en 
 titled to half pay, 1 nor is it known which of them are still living, with their 
 places of residence, except those who are on the pension list. 
 
 Very respectfully, &c., 
 
 JAMES BARBOUR, Secretary of War. 
 The Speaker of the House of Representatives.

LIST OF FRENCH OFFICERS 
 
 THAT SERVED WITH THE 
 
 AMERICAN ARMY. 
 
 I am indebted to the Pennsylvania Historical Society for this list, who 
 kindly permitted me to make certain extracts from the original, which is in 
 French, not arranged as here, as it was deemed best to follow the alpha 
 betical style of the book, and also omitted other irrevelant matter, follow 
 ing, however, as near the original in the personal history of each officer as 
 possible. The original manuscript was obtained for Mr. William B. Reed 
 (who presented the same to the Pennsylvania Historical Society) by the 
 Honorable Richard Rush, while Minister at Paris, and was accompanied by 
 the following note : 
 
 JUNE, 25th, 1849. 
 
 SIR : To comply with the wish you expressed in the note, which was 
 delivered to me by Mr. Perkins, I hastened to search, according to the very 
 expressions of that note, for the names of the French officers who served in 
 the Revolutionary War of the United States of America. It was in vain, 
 unfortunately, that I searched for the muster-rolls at the Ministere de la 
 Marine, or at the Depot, and in the Archives de la Guerre, looking through 
 a great number of volumes and boxes. Appreciating, however, the high 
 feeling that inspired the request, I was not willing to be conquered by 
 difficulties, and thought that with time and perseverance it would be 
 possible to supply the absence of the muster-rolls. The papers, which I 
 have the honor to address you, will explain to you how I proceeded to attain 
 that end. Taking the names of some officers well known as having con 
 tributed to the liberty of the United States, I conceived that I could find in 
 their Etats de Services the different actions in which our troops had 
 distinguished themselves, and thus know the time when the notes for the 
 rewards to be conferred on those who had deserved well of the two 
 countries had been prepared in the Ministers 1 offices. This partly succeeded 
 and brought me afterwards to look for the muster-roils of the corps to 
 which belonged the officers who had signalized themselves ; but though I 
 have added many names to my lists from that source, I cannot say that they 
 
484 
 
 are complete, for I could not conclude from the muster-rolls themselves that 
 all the officers belonging- to the corps had been present in America. The 
 regiments not having sent very often more than a detachment, and the 
 detachments sometimes having served only on shipboard, I could not 
 designate an officer as having served in the American War, unless the fact 
 had been indicated in some note concerning that time, and so I was obliged 
 to confine myself to inscribing the names of the officers whom I could 
 positively ascertain to have been engaged in the war. 
 
 I hope, sir, these lists, however incomplete, will not be without interest 
 for the history of the two countries, nor do I regret the three weeks 
 I have given to collecting them, though I may have been fatigued at 
 moments by the dryriess of the task. I beg you, sir, to observe, that if I 
 have not found the whole as you desired, I have succeeded at least in 
 that which was most important, having recovered from oblivion the names 
 of all those whom their good behavior, their talents, and courage had 
 rendered most conspicuous. On the other side, as a mere name is not signifi 
 cant enough and does not sufficiently particularize a family and a man, you 
 will be pleased, no doubt, to find that to each officer s name I have added 
 the date and the place of his birth, and some other details contained in the 
 rolls. This I know was not in the directions given me, but being occupied 
 with historical works myself I thought it would be agreeable to the historian 
 to whom these notes are destined, nor will I neglect to apprise him that in 
 the course of my researches I have found some documents concerning the 
 Independence War, which I have not seen quoted elsewhere. I have the 
 honor to be, sir, yours, most respectfully,

NUMBER OF TROOPS FURNISHED 
 
 DURIXG- THE 
 
 WAR OF THE REVOLUTION 
 
 TIHIE 
 
 The exact number of men in the Continental Establishment, furnished 
 by each State in the War of the Revolution, is not known, but an approxi 
 mate estimate made by Colonel Pierce, Paymaster-General of the Continen 
 tal Army, and the Treasury Accountants, in 1787, is as shown in the first 
 column of this table. In addition, however, all the States furnished 
 regiments or independent battalions or companies of State Troops, Militia, 
 Rangers, Riflemen, &c., for brief services, who were called out to assist the 
 Continental Army in emergencies, or were raised to protect and defend 
 their own States, many of whom were in service at two or more different 
 periods. The exact number thus furnished can not be given, but upon 
 examination of various estimates, I believe the figures shown in the second 
 column of the table to be, in round figures, approximately correct :

 145.000

 The total here given is excessive as to the number that served in the 
 army, for many served two, three and even four terms. Many of the men 
 who entered the service in 1775, re-entered in 1776, again in 1777, and again 
 in 1780, and were therefore counted two, three, or four times, and from the 
 best information attainable it is fair to assume that the number of indi 
 viduals actually engaged in the military service during the war did not 
 exceed 250,000.
