Pay and muster rolls that may show the name, rank, regiment, company and pay rate of each soldier; the name of his commanding officer; and the dates and locations of the musters. At times the dates that a soldier enlisted, deserted or was discharged are also noted. In a few instances enlistment papers are included. Images are grouped by regiment and thereunder arranged alphabetically by surname of soldier. This collection is part of the Office of the Comptroller General which was created in 1782.
