I am an antique dealer and collector that specializes in paper items. I recently purchased an original muster roll for Captain William F. Hobart's Company "H" of US Regiment of Light Artillery for the period of March and April, 1819. It contains 65 names of officers, musicians, artificers and Matross's. By the dictionary, a matross is a gunner or a gunner's mate; one of the soldiers in a train of artillery, who assisted the gunners in loading, firing, and sponging the guns. One of the people listed as a drummer is Michael Rowe.
All of the soldiers on the muster roll are listed below along with their rank:
William F. Hobart - Captain
Samuel M. McKay - 1st Lieutenant
John C. Russell - 2nd Lieutenant
John J. Taylor - Sergeant
James Fitzgerald - Sergeant
Isaac Cross - Sergeant
Joseph B. Lamb - Sergeant
Thomas McClennon - Corporal
John Haskill - Corporal
Joseph Smith - Corporal
William Hale - Corporal
Michael Rowe - Drummer
Elijah Polalrd - Fifer
Pierson Comley - Artificer
Jonathan Slack - artificer
Elias Snyder - Artificer
James Gallagher - Artificer
James Thompson - Artificer
John Miller - artificer

The roll is signed by Captain Hobart on the back and Abraham Eustis, Lieutenant Colonel. It was signed "at Fort Warren in the Harbour of Boston".
I am interested in corresponding with family members who would have an interest in this item. I can offer pictures of it to anyone who has an interest.
Thanks,
