Included on this CD are the Muster and General rolls related to the Associators and Militia for Philadelphia City and Philadelphia County during the Revolutionary War. Found within the rolls are lists of officers and soldiers. In some cases the date of enlistment, service and discharge are noted. Typically the General Returns provide the status of each soldier when they were called into service. Statuses include excused on appeal, can not be found, served his tour, gone with the enemy, and paid. The General Returns also records the name of the substitute if one was provided. Whether a historian, a Revolutionary War enthusiast, or a genealogist who had ancestors that lived in the Philadelphia area during the Revolutionary War time period, this volume will be of immediate interest.
