The earliest list of
soldiers was compiled by Jonathan Curtis in 1823, which he states
is not complete, and likely relied on residents of the time for
his information. Later, in John Dolbeers history written about
1889, he has a list, based mostly upon that of the earlier Curtis
list, with some additions. Not much has been done since to research
these early soldiers, but with the family genealogies since printed,
research by people for admittance to Revolutionary Societies,
and the more recent availability of such information as the Revolutionay
War Rolls for the State of New Hampshire, online pensions, it
was time to take another look. To determine who actually served
from Epsom, several criteria were used. First, if it was so stated
in the Revolutionary Rolls that they served from Epsom. Second,
if it was found that they resided in Epsom at the time through
genealogical research, or whether they or soldier's fathers signed
the Association Test in Epsom in 1776. Third, that they resided
in Epsom but signed on for another town. Many soldiers were here
a short time and moved on shortly after the war, and just the
opposite occured, with many moving to Epsom after the war and
are buried here, so they also need to be recognized. This list
begins with those who appear to have served from Epsom, followed
by those soldiers who made Epsom their home after the war.
