Tabular MS (DLC). Names in TJ’s hand (with a few exceptions) and notations in several other hands. A second tabular MS (DLC), referred to below in note 17, is a fair copy by TJ of the final part of the Return relating to “Volunteers, draughts and substitutes.”
The date of these papers is uncertain but can certainly be confined to late 1776 or early 1777.
1. In Capt. Jones’ company the name of Richardson Hamner is deleted.
2. In Capt. Sims’ company the names of the following are struck out: Edward Broddie, Philip Bush, Thomas Barlow, John Calton, Bradley Dalton, James Grinning, John Smith, John Stockdon, Elijah Watts.
3. In Capt. Wallace’s company the names of the following are struck out: William Cleaveland, David Henderson, James Isbell, William Pilson.
4. In Capt. Davies’ company the names of the following are struck out: William Ballard, M. Lewis Benge, James Dunn, William Keaton “(son of John),” Sabert King, Joseph Mills, Joseph Watson.
5. In Capt. Harris’ company the names of the following are struck out: David Clarke, Joel Harris, Thomas Jones, “Daniel Maupin (son of Gabriel),” David Maupin.
6. In Capt. Dalton’s company the names of the following are struck out: “William Ballard (son of Bland),” Micajah Consolver, John Carver, Samuel Dalton, Henry Fowler, Samuel Fowler, David Herring, Augustine Smith, David Wood.
7. In Capt. Jones’ company the names of the following are struck out: Charles Denton, John Langford.
8. In Capt. Smith’s company the names of Presley Dollins and Robert Ware are struck out.
9. In Capt. Martin’s company the names of George Maxwell and Joshua Moran are struck out.
10. In Capt. Wingfeild’s company the following name is struck out: “John Grier over age.”
11. In Capt. Lewis’ company the names of the following are struck out: Zachariah Defoe, Achilles Denton, Laurence Ferguson, Richard Hill, “John Sutton junr.”
12. In Capt. Sims’ company the names of the following are struck out: Richard Goolsby, Chesley Kinney, Richard Moon, Littlebury Moon, Richard Wood, William Battersby Watkins.
13. The list of this company is not in TJ’s hand.
14. In Capt. Wheeler’s company the names of the following are struck out: Philip Gooch, Horsely Goodman, Laurence Shifflet, Waddy Thompson, Tarlton Woodson, Michael Wallace, Samuel Bunch.
15. In Lt. Medlins’ company the name of George Taylor is struck out.
16. In Capt. Henderson’s company the names of Francis Gaines, William Reynolds, and John Sneade are struck out.
17. The second tabular MS (DLC: TJ Papers, 6: 1063), mentioned in the descriptive note above, is used as the text of this document from this point on. It is actually a fair copy of the final portion of the MS which has provided the text up to this point. The earlier MS (or draft) has, however, some comments not in the fair copy, such as “John McDaniel, send letter to Dan. Ferguson,” “Lewis Jones said to be unfit,” “Sabert King, lives with Henry Austin,” “John Carver, stays with Alexr. McCulloch,” &c. The name “Benge” is spelled “Bang” in the draft.
