It has not been possible to designate with the publication of this list the times, and places, and organizations in which even the officers so named served during different enlistments,* and much less to properly place each soldier whose name appears upon this roll. It has been made upinpart from Femow's "New York intheRevolution," published by the authority of this State, with many added as the result of personal investigations made in the archives at Albany and Washington, the old pension rolls disclosing several new names. But after all this labor the list is doubtless still incomplete, the original muster rolls having disappeared.

The autographs of officers of the Militia Regiment on this Manor, which appear on the opposite page, have an added significance from the interesting fact that they were made in affirmation, "before Robert Graham, Stephen Ward, Gilbert Drake, Ebenezer Lockwood and Jonathan Griffin Tompkins, Esqrs. , Judges of the Inferior County Common Pleas in and for the County of Westchester, and Richard Hatfield, Esqr. , Clerk of the said County, by virtue of a Dedimus Protestem to them for that purpose, directed under the gieat seal of the State of New York," the oath being as follows : "I do solemnly, in the presence of Almighty God, before whom I expect to answer for my conduct, promise and s wear that I will in all things to the best of my knowledge and ability faithfully perform the trust reposed in me, so help me God." This oath of allegiance to the newly constituted .State was made date of July 8, 1778; hence these signatures, reproduced from the originals, are of especial and historic interest.
