    1. [A-REV] MAY, Thomas; In Revelution?
    2. Beverly Aytes-Bowhall

    3. I am going to just lay out my problem and hope someone can help me figure out what to do next. I have a Thomas MAY bn abt 1737, his son John was born in PA in 1783. It appears that somewhere, at sometime Thomas MAY would have participated in the Amer Rev but I cannot find any reference to that fact. The only thing I can find is in Bedford Co PA Archives, Vol 3; a Thomas Mayre-joined Shelby's command 8/18/1759. A notation on this group states, "Most of these men were from Conochacheague, Maryland, PA and VA and served from 7/15/1759 to 11/1/1759. Note: info from Bouquet Manuscripts 21644, fol.476, 182 A.D.S. Col Henry Bouquet Commander. Now this was Evan Shelby, Jr's Ranging Company (whatever that was!). Bottom line HELP. Bev

    3. Hi Beverly, Check the printed Pa. Archives, 5th and 6th series, the index is in the 7th series, they have lists of soldiers who served in the Revolution. The 3rd series has tax lists from the 1770s which might help locate him. Pa. had a draft law so most of the men in Pa. between 18 and 53 should be listed.
