NEW HAVEN MEN
 IN REVOLUTION List of 361 Colonial Soldiers from This City Who Served in the War for Inde-
 pendence.
59 MEN LOST THEIR LIVES
Interesting Report Compiled for $. \. k, by W. $. Wells. General Greeley and Everett 
 E. Lord.

One of the most complete records In regard to Revolutionary times has been compiled in the list of Revolu- tionary soldiers from New Haven with their companies and in many eases the date of their deaths, The list has been compiled for the Sons of the American Revolution by three of It's members, William S. Wells, late of the engineer corps, Y, & N, Gen eral F. s. Greeley of the U. S. Volun- teers, and Everett F.. Lord The list contains 3sl men who served from New Haven. The report, together with the list. follows
 Mir. George R. Martin, President Gem eral David Humphrey Branch, Sons of American Revolutions:
 Dear Sir: The committee to whom was assigned the duty of ascertaining the names of those from New Haven who lost their lives in the war of the Revolution. beg leave to report that they have examined the state records and the histories of Connecticut re- lating to his war and have compiled a list of 36l names of men from New Haven who served in the Continental army, militia and the different vessels cruisers and privateers giving q list of many who enlisted more than once with the different organizations to which they were attached,
 We found the names of 5a men from New Haven who lost their lives In the war of the Revolution.
 As the compilation has been made at considerable expenditure of time . and much research, and Is of partic- ular interest to the descendants of the men referred to- and in view of the fact that 1t is proposed to have these names put in bronze on a tablet on East Rock monument of those from New Haven who lost their lives in the war of the Revolution. we deem it proper and a matter of interest that a pamphlet should be issued embodying this report and that the same be mailed to every member of the Sons of the American Revolution In the state of Connecticut so that errors or omissions may be indicated and priv en before commencing the work of preparing the tablets for the monu- ment.
 We therefore suggest that authority be given to the committee to have said pamphlet printed and distribut- ed, setting forth the reasons for so do- ing and further that a committee be appointed or elected to take Into con sideration ways and means for hay ing the above proposed tablets placed on East Rock monument.
 Very respectfully,
 Signed. W. & WELLS.
