Many of the records refer to MA01, "Massachusetts Soldiers and Sailors in
the War of the Revolution." While the inclusion of the militia
regiments was straightforward, there were 15 continental line regiments
at the battles whose records do not specifically list Saratoga battles
information. However, the national archives confirm that the persons
included were there during the battle dates. Also, some participants are
listed as being in a Colonel's, Lieut. Colonel's or Major's company.
These types of companies did not exist until after the battles,
but the additional information in each record usually indicates who the
Captain was in 1777.
