Series: 5 SS (Volume 5)
Scope and Content Note: A volume composed of three of David Shepherd's small memoranda books, 1777-1790, bound together. The first and third contain an assortment of military entries and private accounts, such as receipts for rations and ammunition, certifications of scouts and spies, muster rolls, a list of men drafted in 1778, lists of subscribers supporting men in service, and lists of military articles belonging to the state of Virginia. Several receipts bear signatures of some of Shepherd's well-known associates, including Samuel Brady, John McCulloch, Jacob Van Buskirk, and Jacob Wetzel. For each of these books Draper made a brief index. The second memoranda book contains only a list of tithables for 1778.
