Massachusetts Men Of The Revolutionary War.

Here are some names of men from Massachusetts, that were in he Revolutionary War. I picked these names just be cause I liked them. This list may be of help for those of you looking into these family names. This information was put down just as it was found on the original document, and there are many misspellings. I have put down just a few names out of thousands, these documents cover the whole alphabet, although I only give a few letters. Many of these men were of the Militia, but later enlisted into the Continental Army. If you don’t see a name here, you may request a look up, my address can be found in my profile.
