Captain Zachariah Smith Brooks Company
Revolutionary War Muster Roll
General Butler's Sister, Elizabeth, became
the wife of Zachary Smith Brooks, Lieutenant during the Revolution and afterwards Colonel of State Cavalry. As it may possibly be of interest to some persons now living, I give here the muster roll of a company of cavalry commanded by Col. Brooks while he was still only a captain. I greatly regret
that there is no date to the paper, but it is very old. Some of the names
I cannot decipher and some are erased:
