I need help. I have a copy of a 1783 discharge document. I am interested in knowing where to find any records for this person and if there is any information on his specific unit or group. The paper says: "Copy of Judge McIntoshs discharge...this is to certify that Peter McEntosh a private in the dragoons in the first partisan legion under my command has served faithfully & bravely to this day is hereby discharged from the service of the United States in pursuance of order received from the Commander in Chief, bearing date the third instant. I further certify that Peter McEntosh a private in the Dragoons having been enlisted in the State of Virginia is intitled by the Resolution of Congress of the 13th February 1779 to the benefits that have been,or here after shall be granted by the said State to the Noncommisioned officers and Solderis of the said Line. Given under my hand and seal at YorkTown this fifteenth day of November 1783 Commander (here is some name or title not legibleNOTE: this is actually what it says so they could not read that name) Brigadier General Entered in the Books of the Legion Attest Godfried Swartz Adjutant of the Legion Thank you for any thoughts on this julie
