The General Index to Compiled Military Service Records of Revolutionary War Soldiers is an index included in the NARA Records Group 93, along with the service records themselves. The index includes all the varieties of different kinds of service units called into being by the continental Congress, but refers to them in large part as "American Army" and "American Navy." Most of the records of the American Army and Navy in the custody of the War Department were destroyed by fire in 1800. The War Department Collection of Revolutionary War Records was begun in 1873, when Secretary of War William Belknap made the first purchases of Revolutioinary War records for the department. The Record and Pension Division of the War Department was created in 1889 to take custody of these. The result has been the collection of various documents from a variety of sources to document the service ot those in the Revolution.
