the Massachusetts Soldiers and Sailors of the American Revolution, (Mass);
as well as from Colwell's, Spirit of 76", which lists those who served in
Rhode Island; the other abbreviations used in the reference column are as
follows, (DAR) Daughters of the American Revolution, both their lineage
books, and their Patriot Index; (N.P.) indicating that an obituary appeared
in some issue of the many newspapers of the years during, and following the
American Revolution; and (Marker) which indicates that the gravestone of the
veteran so mentions that he served in the armed forces of his country. The
name of the Rev. Robert Rogerson is also listed, as having given public
service.
