The second volume in this distinguished series deals with the Loyalist regiments from Maryland, Pennsylvania, and Virginia. Also treated are the British Legion, Guides and Pioneers, Loyal Foresters, and Queen's Rangers--regiments that served in the Southern Campaign and were captured at Yorktown in October 1781. This work contains abstracts of all extant muster rolls, pay rolls, vouchers, certificates, petitions, and miscellaneous documents relating to the Loyalists who were recruited for duty in the Southern Campaign of the war as well as abstracts of documents relating to Loyalist dependents, prisoners, and sympathizers. In addition, as the rolls for the Virginia regiments mustered by Lord Dunmore have not been located, it contains a list of Virginia Loyalists compiled from treasury records, claims and other original sources, many never before available for research.

Genealogical Research on American Loyalists,
By A Customer
This review is from: Loyalists in the Southern Campaign of the Revolutionary War Volume II: Official Rolls of Loyalists Recruited from Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Those Recruited from Other Colonies for the British Legion, Guides and Pioneers, Loyal Foresters, and Queen's Rangers (Paperback)
This is an excellent book for those interested in doing research on american loyalists who served in any of the loyalist regiments. It consists of copies of the loyalist muster rolls, which musters were taken approximately every two months. It will sometimes also provide a little bit of biographical material on individual loyalists, such as where they came from, where they went when they left the regiment, whether they were absent due to being a prisoner, having been killed in action or out wounded.
