Hello everyone,
I appreciate the generous response to my last question but if I haven't said thank you.... I say it now. I got a ton of email. And haven't responded to it all. This is an awesome board with a lot of support especially the work of Mrs. Reno.
I have searched the Maryland Archives and cannot seem to get my brain to understand what to do next. I am looking for muster rolls for the Revolutionary war. Can someone point me to the right page. The only one I can find for my Ancestors regiment is for 1780 and he had already been discharged. It is for The Maryland line under Captain Thomas Beall commanded by Lt Colonel Moses Rawlings under Colonel Stephenson.
Captain Thomas Beall was stationed in Fredrick County in charge of the Frederick County riflemen.
Resolved, That col. Rawlings and such of the officers of his corps
as shall be appointed by the commander-in-chief, forthwith recruit three
companies of that corps to the full complement: That the volunteers
be enlisted for the war, and ordered to repair to Fort Pitt."
Colonel Moses Rawlings' Rifle Regiment was originally raised in
Maryland and Virginia as Stephenson's Maryland and Virginia Rifle
Regiment, and reorganized in 1777 as one of the 16 additional Regi
ments.
Where can I find these muster rolls.
Sorry for asking such a dumb question.
Cass C Johnson
