FindmyPast (www.findmypast.co.uk) has added a few collections concerning the US Revolutionary War, in which many Scots and Scots-Irish (Ulster Scots) particpated as combatants.
United States, Census of Revolutionary War Pensioners, 1840
Unlock family heroes' names, ages and addresses with this historic census. It documents the lives of American War of Independence veterans. This special census can also reveal the names of multiple family members, a feature not included in the main 1840 US census.
United States, British Loyalists
Not everyone in British America wanted independence. Trace those loyalists and their intriguing stories in this unique collection of publications. This record set consists of 22 combined publications from across British America covering everything from orderly books to subscription lists.
United States, Lord Dunmore's Ethiopian Regiment, 1776
This small but eye-opening record set lists enslaved people who answered Lord Dunmore’s call to arms during the American Revolution. Compiled from a number of sources, we've created a searchable index of all known individuals who joined Dunmore's unit. In it, you'll discover their names, aliases, ages and, in some cases, what became of them after the war.
Links for these collections, and details of others (including vital records from Manitoba, Canada), are available at www.findmypast.co.uk/blog/new/us-canadian-records.
