Jonathan An
Muster Roll of Capt
Jn
Howards Company of Nyork
Volunteers Novr
1777
Note: Phillip Long’s name did not appear on the Muster Roll of John Howard’s
company dated February 1778, and taken at Paulus Hook.
We can only infer that he changed companies between
November 1777 and February 1778.
Obviously, the fact that he was sick could be part the reason for
changing regiments (he did lose an eye sometime during the War).
To date, the next Muster roll entry for Phillip Long is in
1781 on Long Island in the West Florida Royal Foresters.
(PAC, RG8 “C” Series, Vol. 1873)
Raised by Thurnbull in January 1776.
The New York Volunteers were renamed the 3rd American Regiment in May
1779.
The New
York Volunteers were raised by Oliver DeLancey. They were mainly in
communities loyal to the King on Long Island, the largest being the New York
Loyalist Corps. Units of the New York Volunteers participated in the
invasion of their home territory in July 1776.
