Town of Hudson

Hudson Soldiers in the American Revolutionary War

It is a matter of regret that a complete list of the names of all the soldiers who served their country, from this town [Hudson], in the War of the Revolution, cannot be given.

No town documents to show who they were can be found, and a few of their names only are incidentally mentioned in the town records.

Hon. Isaac W. Hammond, Assistant Secretary of State, has kindly furnished some valuable information, some has been gathered from the Adjutant-General's Reports, and some names have been obtained from other sources.

Within the limited time given to compete this history it has been impossible for me to make an exhaustive research for all the names of those patriotic soldiers possible to be obtained.

The following names are given as a partial list of the men from Nottingham West who were soldiers in the War of the Revolution.
