This is page two of the Dragoon Regiments, some of these names may be repeats, but most of it will be new information. Like I said Many of the names will be repeats in this way you can follow a name year after year as he gets his appointments or promotions. As I said in page one there will be hundreds of names, so you may want to do a name search , however by doing so you may miss some information about this regiment you never know. As you will see there will be little information on this names, this was done so I could get as many names as possible on this page. If you find a name of a ancestor and would like to know if there is more information on him, you can find out by writing to the following address: dsegelquist1@cox.net
Important note. When requesting information please, give the title on where you got the name from. I’ m working at three of my web sites and Rootsweb, and between them I have about 4000, pages, so you can see when I get a name out of the blue, it makes it all most impossible to find the information, with out a page title or the name of the board where the information was posted.
Appointments in the Army of the United States.
March 24, 1812.
Connecticut.--Dillon Thomas, 2d Lieutenant, Light Dragoons.
Maryland.--Francis S. Belton, 2d Lieutenant, Light Dragoons.
War Office, May 27, 1779.
Application having lately been made to this Board by the Revd. Mr., brigade Chaplain to the light Dragoons, for his pay, the Board were struck with the obvious inutility of such an Officer: because from the almost constantly detached situation of those Corps it is very probable he may be able to perform divine service among them scarcely once a year: The Board therefore beg leave to report: The Corps of Light Dragoons being generally detached from each other, which renders it impracticable for their brigade Chaplain to perform the duties of his office, Resolved, That such a Chaplain is not necessary; and that the present brigade Chaplain to the light Dragoons be therefore discharged from the service.
Adjutant-General's Office,
Washington, July 24, 1848.
H. S. Turner.
Sir: The resignation of Captain H. S. Turner, 1st Dragoons, having been accepted, an opportunity is presented for the reappointment, in obedience to your instructions of the 26th ultimo, "of Lieutenant Northrop in the position he would have occupied if he had not been dropped," and I therefore respectfully bring the matter to your attention, that he may be nominated accordingly. At the time he was dropped Lieutenant Northrop stood at the head of the list of first lieutenants in his regiment, his commission dating from July 4, 1836. He should, consequently, in obedience to your directions, be restored to the same position and date of rank, which can be effected by nominating the present senior first lieutenant, Richard S. Ewell, for promotion to a captaincy, vice Turner, and Mr. Northrop for reappointment, with his former date, to fill Lieutenant Ewell's vacancy.
Lieutenant Northrop had been overslaughed several times in Consequence of his disability, prior to the date when he was dropped from the rolls.
I am, sir, with great respect, your obedient servant,
R. JONES,
Adjutant. General.

Adjutant-General's Office,
Washington, November 9, 1854.
Report of the Adjutant General of the Army relates to passing over 2d Lieutenant George F. Evans, of the 1st Regiment of Dragoons, on account of physical disability.
Sir: Lieutenant George F. Evans, of the 1st Dragoons, being at the head of the list of second lieutenants of his regiment, and a vacancy having occurred therein by the resignation of Captain Buford, I respectfully request your instructions on the question of carrying up Lieutenant Evans to a first lieutenancy, or giving the promotion to the next below him on the regimental list.
Lieutenant Evans left his company in California in October, 1850, in consequence of a severe attack of paralysis, affecting both his limbs and speech, and from which there seems but little, if any, prospect of his recovery. He is entirely unable to make the monthly sick-reports prescribed by the regulations, which are in the handwriting of his father, Lieutenant E., simply affixing his mark to them. Accompanying is the last certificate of Lieutenant Evans's physicians, dated at Gardiner, Maine, October 2, 1854.
"I have the honor to be, sir, your obe'd't ser't,
(Signed)"S. COOPER,
"Adjutant-General.
Hon. Jefferson Davis,
"Secretary of War.
The disability of Lieutenant Evans requires that the officer next below him, competent for active service, shall be promoted over him.

April 14, 1780.
The Board of War report, that they have received an application from Captain Dandridge, of Moylan's Bland's regiment of light dragoons, praying leave to resign his commission; and that they have also received applications from Captain Gibbs Jones, of the artillery, and Lieutenant Septimus Davis, of the 11 Pensylvania regiment, praying leave to resign their commissions; Whereupon, Resolved, That the resignation of the said Captain Dandridge, of Moylan's Bland's regiment of light dragoons, and of Captain Gibbs Jones, of the artillery, and of Lieutenant Septimus Davis, of the 11 Pennsylvania regiment, be accepted.
The President of the United States this day approved and signed the following acts:
S. 59. An act to repeal so much of the act approved the 23d day of August, 1842, as requires the 2d regiment of dragoons to be converted into a regiment of riflemen after the 4th day of March, 1843.
The objections of the President of the United States are as follow.
Gentlemen of the House of Representatives:
Having maturely considered the bill to alter and amend an act, entitled "An act to ascertain and fix the military establishment of the United States," which was presented to me on the twenty-second day of this month, I now return it to the House of Representatives, in which it originated, with my objections.
First. If the bill passes into a law, the two companies of light dragoons will be, from that moment, legally out of service, though they will afterwards continue actually in service; and for their services during this interval, namely, from the time of legal to the time of actual discharge, it will not be lawful to pay them, unless some future provision be made by law. Though they may be discharged at the pleasure of Congress, in justice they ought to receive their pay, not only to the time of passing the law, but at least to the time of their actual discharge.
