Morrison's Pensions
Pay Roll of A Party of Men Capt. Kaiser Commanded
June 12th 1777.
By James F. Morrison
On March 15,
1780, a small raiding party attacked several small settlements in or near the
present day Town of Manheim, Herkimer County.
One of the
homes raided was the home of Captain John Keyser of Colonel Jacob Klock’s
Regiment of Tryon County Militia (Second Regiment). In ransacking his house
the enemy found various military papers.
The following
pay roll is one of those documents. It lists the men drafted from various
companies of Colonel Klock’s Regiment, unfortunately we do not know what
duty they had been called up for but most of them were called up for at least
18 days.
