These lists are necessarily imperfect. They have been compiled by Mrs. James L. Hammond from various sources, such as assessors' tables, etc., and especially from lists made by Miss Mary H. Leonard and others from the rolls in the State achives. Future research will undoubtedly add many names. The list for the Revolutionary War has been compared with the official record as far as that has been published, and is therefore correct for the names given.
