Captain John Hughes and muster rolls
Description
In the roll of the deranged Officers of the 8th Regiment sent to the author by the recipient, he could not find the name of Captain John Hughes. Hughes is now a member of the Assembly and has obtained his depreciation from the author. The author asks that musters from June 1778 until the time of derangement be searched to confirm whether or not Hughes was mustered and resigned and when.
