Signed by Morgan Lewis as Lieutenant. Also signed by John Sayward. Sayward's signature is accompanied by an incomplete note. Captain Joshua Bragdon's Company was in Colonel James Scammons's 30th Regiment of Foot in the Continental Army. Captain Joshua Bragdon is referred to as the "Late Cap. Joshua Bragdon", and it appears to be noted that he resigned on August 19th. Lists the names of commanding officers, corporals, drum and fife, privates, and casualties. The bottom right corner of this muster roll appears to have been torn off. Indecipherable calculations scrawled on verso. Bragdon's Company was likely assigned to contirbute to the Siege of Boston, though there is no location noted on the muster roll.
