(Another Approach)

​Getting Started: 
All thirteen of the original states published rosters of their patriots who served in the military. Eight of these state publications are available for free on the internet.

These are: Connecticut, Georgia, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey,
New York, Vermont, and Virginia.

Google search using an expression like "New York Patriots in the Revolutionary War."

​The other original states, by the way, are: Delaware, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, South Carolina, New Hampshire, and Rhode Island.

Note: At the time of the Revolutionary War, Vermont was part of New York​​.
