MOON(E) Patriots and Veterans of the Revolutionary War Again, from the same book I recently purchased off Ebay, entitled, "Moon Family History," published by the American Genealogical Research Institute. I won't repeat the entire text of my disclaimer, except to say this: remember, the references and source materials were/are all listed en masse following the Moon information and because of this, I/you cannot determine where any one specific piece of information came from. If anyone on this list has information that would help someone confirm the information as stated, please offer it so that others can benefit, ok? I'm typing information verbatim from the book from this point forward, and have no additional information to add at this time: Specific sources used in the following compilation of the Moon family's military history in the American Revolution include the DAR Patriot Index; Max Ellsworth Hoyt's Index to Revolutionary War Pension Applications; and Francis B. Heitman's Historical Register of Officers of the Continental Army During the War of the Revolution. These books were selected to begin the research because they are thorough, reliable, and well-organized. Cross-references have been made whenever available. While this system of compilation helps to validate entries, it at times duplicates entries because not all names have complete identifying information. However, you will find that most of the entries on this list provide you with the essential data necessary to locate extensive genealogical data in the records of the National Archives.
