1778 Rev War Captains + Soldiers Continental Pay

Item Details

Description

American Revolution
1778 Revolutionary War Captain’s & Soldier’s “Continental” Pay Officially Raised at Taunton, MA
July 1st 1778-Dated Revolutionary War, Manuscript Document, Unusual Pay Order, About Fine.
This original Revolutionary War document measures about 6” x 7.2” on period laid paper with an Irish harp style round watermark, having some thin clear tape reinforcment to the folds on the blank reverse. There are some period notes of pay & what is likely Capt. Blake's signature acknowledging pay received. It is the first of this type of Continental Soldier’s Pay notice we have encountered and obviously very rare. It reads in full:

"Taunton July 1st 1778 - Sir, In consequence of a Resolve passed the Assembly of this state 23rd current this Regiment is called upon to raise fifteen men to serve until January next at Watertown the men to be taken from the main band and Alarm List and to have five pounds per month added to Continental pay and six pence per mile travill you are therefore directed to detach from your company one man for to service the men so drafted either to pay a fine of ten pounds in 24 hours or to be holden as a souldier and make return there of to the Call. This by Coll. Williams's order. Wm. Sever, Adjutant. - To Captain Edward Blake"
