I have an ancestral relative, George Woodley, who served in the New Jersey Volunteers from 1776 to 1783 and was discharged from the 1st Battalion, Captain Joseph Crowell commanding.
I have copies of several muster rolls attesting to his service over that period of time. Some of these were obtained from the New Jersey State Archives in Trenton, New Jersey and others from the Library and Archives Canada in Ottawa, Ontario Canada.
I was surprised to find duplicate muster rolls for the same period of time written in a different handwriting but otherwise identical. I would like to know the history of these muster rolls and why there were multiple copies.
Secondly, a memorial of George Woodley states that he was at Eutaw Springs indicating that the New Jersey Volunteers participated in the Southern Campaign. However, the muster rolls I have from 24 April 1781 to 24 June 1782 omit the location of where these muster rolls were recorded. On the other hand the book on the Southern Campaign by Murtie June Clark indicates the location as Charlestown, South Carolina. I would like to learn of any documentation of the Charlestown location and where Clark may have learned it.
