Notes:

² These muster rolls are not listed with the others in Clark, Volume 2, but appear in Volume 3. They are catalogued as PRO 30/55, Nos. 10253, 10264 and 10272.

General Note 1: Muster Rolls, for the period August 1778 through October 1779, April 1781 through October 1781, and June 1782 through December 1782, are available on microfilm at the National Archives of Canada, RG 8, "C Series", Volumes 1883-1885. These rolls, however, do not cover all troops/companies for each bi-monthly period. There are gaps in coverage.

General Note 2: Muster Rolls for the period December 1779 through October 1780 are not in the "Archives" collection, with the exception of the roll of October 1780 for Miller's Company. Whether these missing rolls are located somewhere else, cannot be determined.
