Record of pay and service of officers and men of Virginia, New York, and Georgia, 1781-1787.

The first and largest parts of both these volumes (Nos. 175 and 176) relate to Virginia officers and men who received certificates for advanced pay, officers and men who received certificates for the balance of their full pay, and officers and men who received half pay. The lists are arranged alphabetically by initial letter of surname and show by whom the pay was received and the date and amount of payment. The lists in the two volumes are not duplicates. Volume 175 also has alphabetical lists of New York officers and men of different regiments. The last part of volume 176 contains an alphabetical list of offiecers and soldiers of the "Georgia Continental establishment" who applied for certificates for bounty land; a return of officers of the Georgia Line; a list of the offiecers of the 1st-4th New York Regiments, Continental Service; a muster roll of Capt. Samuel Logan's Company, 5th New York Battalion, for March and April 1780; and an alphabetical list of the soldiers in the New York Line who received bounty land in Cayuga County, N.Y. Most of the lists contains entries dated no later than 1787; a few contain entries dated as late as 1808; amd some are undated. The date of these copies is not given, but some are copies of certified copies made in 1818 and 1856.
