Orderly book, 1776-1806.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/702184811

Manuscript, in multiple hands, of a collection of several dozen military orders issued during the American Revolutionary War. The majority of the entries address routine administrative and disciplinary issues in the army. Numerous orders summarize court martials, their verdicts and punishments; orders that men attend divine service on Sundays; requests that officers inquire if any of their men understand hammering gun flints. The manuscript also includes lists of promotions, warnings to officers to be alert to impending enemy attacks, and, in 1776, praise for their spirited action when engaging the enemy. Several of the orders are issued by Colonel Noadiah Hooker. Dos-a-dos are 19 pages of receipts, signed by various officers, confirming receipt of wages for themselves and their companies; and a list of deserters from the British Army. The rest of the volume consists of several dozen summaries of court cases during Noadiah Hooker's service as Justice of the Peace in Hartford County, CT, between 1784-1806, which include domestic disputes, destruction of property, and debt cases.
