ROSTER OF BUTLER'S RANGERS

    This list is based on the one compiled by A. H. Van Dusen in his article "Butler's Rangers", which was published in the journal New York Genealogical and Biographical Record, Vol. 31 (1900), pages 12-18.

    This roster is based on two sources: the list of disbanded Rangers who settled at Niagara, reported by Lieutenant Colonel A. S. De Peyster in 1784, as printed in the Report on Canadian Archives, 1891 (Ottawa, Queen's Printer, 1892), pages 2-5; and, the "old U.E. List", which was published as "Appendix B" to The Centennial of the Settlement of Upper Canada by the United Empire Loyalists, 1784-1884... (Toronto, Rose Publishing Company, i 88~) pages 129-334. (This book was reprinted, with a new introduction by Milton Rubin-cam, by the Genealogical Publishing Company, Baltimore, in 1969).

    The names taken from the De Peyster list are marked with an asterisk (*) and are additional to the names found in the "Old U.E. List".

    Upon comparing the several published lists from which the above was compiled a number of inconsistencies in spelling appear. Every attempt has been made to reconcile these differences, but it is unfortunate that it was not possible to verify these with the original records.
