Description

Pay role[roll] of Captain Turner's company from Caswell County and Chatham County, commanded by Colonel McDowell from March 15, 1779 to July 30, 1779. Troop Returns include lists, returns, records of prisoners, and records of draftees. Lists are usually pay or muster rolls. Most of the returns are field or general returns, and report the names of the officers and the number of enlisted men under their command (but not the names of each soldier). Prisoners records may be lists of British prisoners or of North Carolina Line officers captured by the British. Drafts and enlistments records give the names of enlisted men and sometimes take the form of descriptive lists that also include height, age, coloring, etc., of each soldier. Except for the drafts and enlistments, most of the Continental Line records are field and general returns; the militia records, on the other hand, generally record the names of both officers and soldiers.
