Rare South Carolina Revolutionary War Muster Roll For "Lt. General Wade's Regiment of Horse... for 365 Days" (undated), 19" x 15", VG. This large Manuscript Muster Roll is very nicely hand-penned in dark-brown ink on watermarked, fine-laid paper, and is titled, "Computation of the Pay of a Regiment of Horse Commanded by Lt. Genl. Wade as it is distributed in all its Branches to every Officer Non-Commissioned Officer and Private Man for 365 days." The manuscript document has a vertical list of categories of rank, and type of pay: "Allowance to Widows, Subsistence, Full Pay, Poundage, Hospital," etc.), and the monetary figures for each category are written in along the horizontal axis. A later small pencil notation at bottom left reads: "Genl. Wade - American - c. 1780." It is docketed with “Distinction of the Pay of a Regim’t of Horse.” Moderate wear, with split folds, and some early archival style repairs as reinforcement to the folds, on the blank verso. A few small holes and light toning to document. .
