The collection contains a payroll for field and staff of the regiment from November 1776 until August 1777; five payrolls for Captain Peter Van Rensselaer's company for 1778 and 1779; a payroll for Captain Dirick Hanson's company for January 1779; a payroll for the Eighth Company for February and March 1779; a payroll for the late Captain Augustin Loseaux's company for May 1779; and a muster roll of Captain James Robichaux's company, dated April 6, 1779."}
