Excerpt from A List of the Soldiers in the War of the Revolution From Worcester, Mass: With a Record of Their Death and Place of Burial With the organizing of the Colonel Timothy Bigelow Chapter, D. A. R., the work of locating the graves of Worcester's revolutionary soldiers was begun. The list itself was first compiled from the State Archives and a few other authentic sources. No records other than the original ones were used except in one instance, viz. - the roll of fifty-four men enlisted from Worcester under Capt. William Gates, Col. Jonathan Hol man's regiment, who marched July 17, 1776, for service in New York. Capt. Gates' record for this time can be found in the State Archives, but no roll of his men is to be found there. In 1876 Mr. Albert A. Lovell included in his history of Worcester in the War of the Revolution, a copy of this roll, the original of which he found in the possession of the American Antiquarian Society. This roll cannot now be found, and but for the copy made by Mr. Lovell the names of seventeen of these Worcester men whose only enlistment this was, would be unrecorded. After completing the list of men credited to Worcester, came the more arduous task of identifying these men, tracing many of them to other States, obtaining records of death, and locating graves. To accomplish this the sources of information have included town, church, family and county court records, registries, private papers and local newspapers. While realizing that the most exact accuracy must be observed to make such a record of value, the compiler feels that even with the greatest care errors are unavoidable where so many sources of information have been called upon. It is a pleasure to acknowledge the kindly and valuable aid so cordi ally given by the many different persons upon whom she has called for information. It is hoped the publishing of these lists will bring to her knowledge dates of death and places of burial of those she has been unable to ascertain. With this in view certain information has been in cluded in the lists which might lead to the identification of those whose death dates could not be found.
