Note
This series consists of a small booklet into which clipped signatures of Revolutionary War military officers and government officials have been pasted. It is not known whether these signatures were originally gathered by a collector, or whether the Adjutant General's staff clipped them from documents in order to have verifiable signatures to compare to other records. Seven loose signatures found in the back of the booklet have been placed in a separate folder. The signatures are listed below in alphabetical order. Additional identifying information (i.e., rank, title or date) has been noted only if included with the signature. Also, in a number of instances the full first names were determined using other military records. In such cases, the first names are shown in brackets. ACCESS NOTE: Access to this series will be permitted only for the purpose of comparing signatures, and with close supervision by Archives staff. |
