Hi Cal, These muster rolls should be at the National Archives in England [formerly known as the Public Record Office, of PRO], located at Kew, Surrey. They should be in their record group series WO/12. There is a listing of all their holdings in this series in one of the volumes of the List and Index Society, which are the finding aids one uses upon arriving at the office in Kew and getting one's researcher identification card. I'd be surprised if these index volumes are not on their website by now (they should be, if they aren't).

In G Murray Logan's book "Scottish Highlanders and the American Revolution", he lists the 84th, 2nd batt mustered members by name on pages 124-138 This is not any type of historical listing showing actual members service details (I would be interested in the detailed records of several members of this battalion) if not in the PRO they may now be in the GRO in Edinburgh I had 5 immediate family members impressed and mustered out of the RHE 2nd batt and would be interested in viewing the individual service records if located Regards Ben MacDonald Sun City AZ ---- "George F.
