Family Archives CD #120
This Family Archive CD contains images of the pages of various books
published by the Genealogical Publishing Company that provide a complete record
of Connecticut men who served in the French and Indian War, the Revolutionary
War, the War of 1812, and the Mexican War, with the emphasis on Connecticut
soldiers in the Revolution. Containing a single electronic index to 167,000
individuals, the following books are included on this CD:
Rolls of Connecticut Men in the French and Indian War, 1755-1762. 2
vols.
Containing references to 17,000 militiamen and soldiers, these two volumes
contain as complete a record as we are ever likely to have of Connecticut men
who took part in the French and Indian War. The rolls are arranged in
chronological order, and in almost every case they identify a soldier by name,
date of enlistment, regiment, company, and date of discharge. Compiled
originally by the Connecticut Historical Society.
The Record of Connecticut Men in the Military and Naval Service During the
War of the Revolution, 1775-1783
Covers almost all primary sources pertaining to Connecticut men in the
Revolution that were extant at the time of the book's original publication in
1889, including muster rolls, payrolls, papers of George Washington, and minutes
of the General Assembly. Personnel records are arranged by military unit and
thereunder by date and rank. Naming tens of thousands of men, the work also
lists Connecticut pensioners found in the official 1818 and 1840 U.S. pension
lists.
Supplement to the Record of Connecticut Men . . . During the War of the
Revolution. 2 vols.
These two volumes contain all the Revolutionary War service records in the
custody of the Connecticut Historical Society that do not duplicate the records
published in the volume above. While at least half of the records in Volume I
pertain to militia or naval units, almost all of those in the longer Volume II
have to do with the Connecticut Line, 1777-1783. In Volume I, most rosters
identify soldiers by name, rank, company, and dates of service; Volume II
identifies the home town or place of birth of each soldier. Altogether, 30,000
soldiers are listed.
Connecticut Revolutionary Pensioners
Compiled originally by the Connecticut DAR, this work lists 11,000 Connecticut
Revolutionary War pensioners, often giving the names of the pensioners' widows
and the pensioners' place of residence at the time of the various pension acts.
In all cases the source of the pension record is identified, e.g., survivor's
file, widow's file, rejected file, or bounty land warrant.
Record of Service of Connecticut Men in the (I) War of the Revolution;
(II) War of 1812; (III) Mexican War
The Revolutionary War records included here are taken from the Connecticut
Adjutant-General's Office and supplement materials provided in several of the
volumes listed above.
