Charles, Sorry, not in Fernow's book, which is "New York in the Revolution." I checked my reference for Austin Godsey and it is: "National Archives; M881 series of compiled payroll records of soldiers who served in the American army during the Revolutionary War." This Austin Godsey was part of Col. Daniel Morgan's corp. of sharpshooters that he recruited from Virginia and Pennsylvania troops at the request of General Washington. They performed admirably at Saratoga, to the extent that the Continental Congress awarded each of them an extra month's pay. Morgan went on to achieve further fame in the Carolinas, but not necessarily with the same group. I believe they pretty much went back to their respective Virginia and Pennsylvania units during the stay at Valley Forge. Hope this is helpful.

Austin Godsey is listed in the Saratoga site you mentioned. Does the Fernow book have any additional information about him? Thanks Charles A. Fuller
For Charles: I have found my g Uncle in the civil war. He fought in the battle at Antietam. Co H, 23rd NY Infantry. In Ed Raus book, Banners South, it tells that he was shot in the thigh and arm and died because of the amputation of his arm. Two others from his Co also were wounded but recovered. I would like to know where he was buried. He was Edmund O. Campbell. Is there any mention of him in Fernow's book? Records say he died in Sharpsburg so it could be that he was buried there. I have sent for his pension records but you know how slow they are in sending the information.
