Bucks County Volunteers
Contributor: Todd Braisted
The Bucks County Volunteers were not a "Provincial Corps" and
therefore (unfortunately) did not have muster rolls. While they might
have made out some rolls for their provisions, these rolls do not now
apparently exist.
This unit should not be confused with the Bucks County Light
Dragoons, which
was a Provincial unit. The Volunteers were raised in the Spring of
1778 by Captain William Thomas and served (in strengths of as little
as 15 or 20 men) through Yorktown and afterwards. They were often
attached (or more probably, attached themselves) to the Queen's
Rangers. Thomas himself drew pay through this corps, although his
other officer(s) and men did not. Several of these men later claimed
compensation for their losses in the war and can be found in the Audit
Office Papers.
