Index to transfers from Army to Navy, 1861-1917 (bulk 1861-1865).

The adjutant general of the Commonwealth, as executive administrator of the state's Military Establishment, has been responsible for maintaining and reporting data concerning militia strength. During and after the Civil War these activities were intensified, particularly as they related to fulfillment of municipal recruitment quotas and determinations of entitlement to state aid, bounties, and other benefits. This series indexes personnel of the state's military organization who were transferred from the Army to the Navy. Recording this information became especially important in 1864 after Congress (Acts of 1864, c 13, s 9; c 237, s 8) made it possible to credit naval enlistments to the quotas for which the municipalities were responsible.
