Was Your Ancestor at Valley Forge?
Search the Muster Roll
Search for the Muster Roll by inserting a soldier’s last name, first name, or a portion of either of these. For example, if unsure of the spelling of “Smythe,” enter “Sm” and click “Search.” All entries with “Sm” in a name will appear. Name search may also be combined with a state, regiment, rank, or ethnicity to refine the search.
To view soldiers in a given regiment, state, rank, or by ethnicity, leave the last and first name fields blank and select a value from the drop-down screen.
