Soldiers, 1778 - 1781
"The following lists comprise a large portion of those who
were enrolled as pioneer soldiers of Kentucky, between the years
1778-1781. Some of the names on the original rolls were very inaccurately
spelled, the rolls being kept by illiterate men, who too often spelled by
the sound names not always correctly pronounced."
