Boyd_Linda Roster of Soldiers from North Carolina in the American Revolution - NSDAR - NC: This book was reprinted in 1967, 1972 and 1977. It was originally published by the North Carolina Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) Durham, 1932. It was the goal of the National Daughters to produce a one-volume publication giving the names and records of the men serving in the Revolution from each of the 13 original states comprised in our Republic covering the 1776 - 1783 years. The NC Daughters, at the request and instigation of the National Board in April, 1929, undertook such a compilation for their own state. On 3 July 1929, the NC State DAR Officers , lead by Mrs. R. Duke Sloan, State Historian for NSDAR - NC met with the NC Historical Commission and Archives. At that time, Dr. A.R. Newsome was State Chairman of the Historical Commission. The Herculean task had begun. This is an outstanding record of research and hopefully there is a copy in a library near you - or even better, a copy on your own shelf. You will refer to it so often.
