Muster Rolls and Other Records of Service of Maryland Troops in the American Revolution 1775-1783. Archives of Maryland

This is the standard on the more than 20000 Maryland troops in the Revolutionary War and as such it is a book of the greatest genealogical and historical magnitude. The records drawn on for this compilation derive chiefly from muster rolls payrolls and Land Office records thus rendering evidence of unassailable authority for Continental service in the American Revolution. Lists enumerated include the Flying Camp Maryland Troop Musters the German Regiment Artillery Rolls Rolls of Men in Lee's Dragoons and Pulaski's and Armand's Legions Naval Rolls Invalid Returns and Rolls of Escaped and Exchanged Prisoners. While tabular information given for each soldier varies according to command it generally includes full name rank dates of enlistment and discharge and miscellaneous remarks such as whether wounded killed or missing. A few rolls are more detailed giving birthplace age height and comments on personal appearance.
