By courtesy of Professor Basliford Dean of New York, who has the original in his possession, we are enabled to present on the opposite page the copy ofa rare old Muster Roll of the Revolution, it being Capt. Gabriel Requa's Company of East Philipsburgh, so called. The date is missing from the old paper, but it must have been somewhere within 1778-80, as the list of officers evidences. The singular wording of the certificate of the enrolling officers, who were the Justices of the Peace in that district and the Manor, is quaint enough, and shows that it was calculated to embrace all within certain ages from sixteen upwards, who were then residing within that district without regard to whether they wanted to be enrolled or not, and it is quite possible that some of them whose names so appear never did any service, though most of them were Patriots who needed no conscription to rally to arms when danger threatened their homes and the cause of their country. On the list are several as privates who afterward held commissions and distinguished themselves in the service.
