Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Massachusetts Soldiers and Sailors of the Revolutionary War: A Compilation From the Archives
A discrepancy will sometimes be noted between the service given and the actual service as figured between the dates of enlistment and discharge. The difference is accounted for by the practice of including, with service performed, a time allowance for travel on the basis of one day for every 20 miles out or home. As the same name may appear under various forms, each carrying some portion of a record of service, it is necessary in order to obtain the complete record, as far as preserved, of any given individual, to examine all the forms under which a name is stated to appear in the Record Index.
Melen thomas. List dated Naushon, Aug. 10, 1777, of men belonging to a company stationed at Naushon who signed a petition for increase of wages or their discharge in case such request was not complied with.
