Muster Roll of Discharged Officers and
Disbanded Soldiers and Loyalists TOWN OF DIGBY
May 29, 1784
This list has been compiled from several sources. As the spellings of the
names varies from list to list the one used here is the one most frequently
found. The Muster Roll was a census used to establish how many settlers had to
be provided for. In addition to the information shown here the actual roll also
indicates the following, numbers of males, females, children under 10, children
over 10 and number of servants. Those marked with a * had their petition for
provisions denied. In the preamble to the actual Muster Roll it is stated
that there were some claims that were so unreasonable that the names were not
inserted in the list. The abbreviation DO means Discharged Officer and DS means
Discharged Soldier
