Can someone tell me if NARA has service records for men who served for only a few weeks in the War? My ancestor's information is as follows: Abrm. Emerson, Entered Aug. 3, Sept. 14, 1778. Colonel Chapman's Reg. Captain Holmes' Company (Seth W. Homes). Source: Record of service of Connecticut men in the I, War of the Revolution. II, War of 1812. III, Mexican War, (Salem, Mass. Higginson Book Co., 1996), Vol. I, pg. 532 I also received this note from a researcher at the Center for Connecticut Studies: "He probably participated in the Newport, Rhode Island expedition." Can anyone tell me about this expedition? Many thanks...
