Revolutionary Roster

 

Roscoe, p52: 

"We were fortunate to find in the possession of Henry Cady, (a descendant of Colonel Peter Vroman,) the well preserved muster-roll, bearing the date of 1782, which we here copy.

Many of those whose names are upon it, were active loyalists through the war, and why they were retained upon the list, we are unable to tell.  It includes all that were liable to military duty in the whole Schoharie settlement, and will give an idea of the sparse population of the territory." 

  sec No. 3 -- Jacobus Deitz, Adem Deitz, Adem Deitz, Jr., Hendryck Deitz, Jury Ball, Hendrick Crosspile, Counrade Swarts, William Becraft, Jr., Francis Becraft, Johannis Eker, Nicolas Eker, Johannis Cher, Jr., Peter Snyder, John Tomson, Charles Heflig, Jacob Heflig.

Note:  I believe section three is a list of the Beaverdam settlement.  In all Roscoe lists 23 sections, containing 357 men.  Many of those listed above have been confirmed as Revolutionary veterans from the 3d Co Beaverdam.
