Index to Council of Appointment minutes, 1777-1786.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/78756534

This volume lists appointments of civil and military officers of the State of New York. It was prepared as an index to the first volume of the minutes of the Council of Appointment, which was destroyed in the Capitol fire of 1911. The index is arranged according to type of position (state officers, county officers, officers of the line, militia officers and levies) and therein by date. The index provides the page number in the destroyed volume where the full citation was located, the name of the appointee, office and date. Therefore, this index actually acts as a record of appointments made by the council between 1777 and 1786.
