Contents
This series consists of two volumes, apparently compiled by the Adjutant General's office, which document military service in New Jersey during the Revolutionary War. The volumes were labeled respectively as Indents, Revolutionary War and New Jersey Line, Pay and Gratuity Book. It appears that the information was copied sometime in the mid- to late-nineteenth century from original materials held by or available to the Adjutant General's Office. The volumes may have been compiled in conjunction with research for General Stryker's Official Register of the Officers and Men of New Jersey in the Revolutionary War (1872). They were definitely compiled prior to 1906, as typescripts of some of the lists in the first volume were made that year and filed as "Revolutionary War Numbered Manuscripts" (citing that volume as the original source). Below are general descriptions of each volume followed by a detailed Contents list.
