ENLISTMENTS, MUSTER ROLLS, AND PAY ROLLS OF GEN. PULASKI’S LEGION MARCH 1779 TO NOVEMBER 1780 Transcribed and annotated by C. Leon Harris. Revised 17 Sep 2016.

INTRODUCTION Kazimierz (or Casimir) Pulaski, born in Poland on 4 Mar 1747, is one of the most celebrated figures of the American Revolutionary War. After arriving at Boston in July 1777 and serving as Gen. Washington’s Aide-de-Camp at the Battle of Brandywine, he quickly won the attention of Congress, which commissioned him a Brigadier General and Commander of the Horse. (See time line below.) On 28 March 1778 Congress authorized Pulaski to raise an independent legion – a force comprising both cavalry and infantry. Pulaski recruited first in , Pennsylvania, and New York and then filled out the ranks in Baltimore with many Hessian prisoners and deserters. The present transcription lists many of the soldiers’ names as recorded in their enlistment oaths, muster rolls, and payrolls, as found at Fold3.com beginning with image https://www.fold3.com/image/9682620. These rolls encompass the crucial period from March 1779, when the Legion left Pennsylvania for , until after the siege of Savannah in October 1779, where Pulaski was killed and the Legion depleted. The following table showing the date and place of each roster and the number of troops chronicle the depletion of the ranks by discharges, desertion and casualties.

Joseph Baldesqui 19 Mar 1779 York PA 31 (p23)

1 In these records the spellings of names are particularly difficult. Some are German names written in English as they sounded to a Frenchman. Many names appear on more than one roster with different spellings, and some officers even signed their own names with two different spellings. In doubtful cases I have tried to give more likely spellings in brackets. I have also added the number of any pension or bounty-land applications, as well as the letter B to indicate soldiers recruited at Baltimore according to a list published by Spencer (1918). The pages I have transcribed are rearranged chronologically rather than in the sequence found at Fold3.com. Some pages in the file are not transcribed here because they are redundant. In addition I have elected not to transcribe the following pages that do not list soldiers’ names: “Account of Money paid Count Pulaskie’s Legion” 7 May 1778 - 4 March 1779 “Monies paid Gen’l Count Pulaski on Acc’t of his Legion by the Board of War” 9 May - 22 Oct 1778 “A General Account of the Expences Made by General Count Pulaski’s for his Legion” 1778 “Cash advanced by the payment of the Board of War & adv’d to Count Pulaski for the use of his Legion” The following two lists suggest that the transcribed rosters may not include all those in the Legion. Pension applicants who apparently served in Pulaski’s Legion but are not on the transcribed rolls: Joseph Bertoulin R802 James Blackburn S39197 James Busby W2995 Paul Louis Celoron X941: Aide-de-Camp of Gen. Pulaski John Fulmer (Volmer) R3845 James Holland W7800 Benjamin Johnson W4467 Uriah Odam (Odham) R7810 John E. Reinhart R8696 John Rock W985 John Schrader S41134 John William Shobe S38372 Jacob Wagner S6320 Henry Walker S40624 Charles Donnom Warrick W3481 Joseph Wood S16583

Not on the rolls but on a list of recruits at Baltimore (Spencer 1918): Philip Beatty, Bryan Dallam, John Hooper, Thomas Hoult, Peter Neguire, John Tedford.

From Henry Ramer’s statement that he was discharged in North Carolina on the march southward, it appears that the document was written in 1779.]

52 [The following lists are from undated tables presumably made after the remnants of Pulaski’s Legion and the 3rd Maryland Continental Regiment under Col. Mordecai Gist were together at Hillsborough NC in the summer of 1780. It appears to be an accounting of government clothing and equipment that was taken by men who deserted or were transferred to other regiments. Names that appear in earlier rosters for Pulaski’s Legion are boldfaced. Others might presumably be deserters from other regiments. The following transcription lists only the names and for all but the last table their “stations” – whether dragoons or infantry. The original tables list the following clothing and equipment: “Coats, Skin Jackets, Skin Brechees [breeches], woollen Jackets, woolen brechees, Overhols [overalls], Linen Jackets, Shoes, Boots, black Stocks & Buckles, Shirts, Stockins, Sword belt, Swiffels [swivels] & belt, Hunting Shirt, Carabines, Swords, Pistols, Great Coats, Horsses, Capes, Blankets, Knapsacks, Saddles, Bayonets belt, Knee buckles & boots buckles, Swords slings, Cartrige box for Cavalery, Carabines belt, Riffles, fire Locks.” Only dragoons had swords, carbines, pistols, and, of course, horses and saddles. Only infantrymen had either rifles or fire locks (muskets) with bayonets.]
