Title: Bowen, Thomas Bartholomew orderly book
Identifier(s): apsrevcity:12788
Description: A company-level orderly book for the 9th Pennsylvania Infantry kept by Sgt. John McGriff under the command of Capt. Thomas Bartholomew Bowen. The orderly book details the activities of the regiment during the late fall, 1780 October 12 to November 11, while stationed at Totoway, New Jersey. The book, which appears to have been kept by Sgt. John McGriff, contains a roster of soldiers in Bowen's company, copies of regimental and divisional orders, returns of arms and equipment, lists of officers and their duties, and several records of courts martial. The orderly book also records actions taken by Commander-in-Chief, George Washington. In the front and rear of the book are records on troop strength and supply levels. The 9th Pennsylvania Regiment was authorized 16 September 1776 and was assigned to the main Continental Army on 27 December 1776. It was organized during the spring of 1777 to consist of eight companies of volunteers from Westmoreland, Lancaster, Chester, Philadelphia and Cumberland counties of the commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The regiment was assigned to the 3rd Pennsylvania Brigade of the main Continental Army on 27 May 1777. It was consolidated with the 5th Pennsylvania Regiment on 17 January 1781, and re-designated as the 5th Pennsylvania Regiment; concurrently furloughed at Trenton, New Jersey. The regiment would see action during the Battle of Brandywine, Battle of Germantown, Battle of Monmouth and the Battle of Springfield. John McGriff served as a sergeant under Bowen's command. He may have been a resident of York County before the war. After the war, he received depreciation lands from the state for his service.; American Philosophical Society
