1775 - 1783
The following information also includes those men who fought for the town of Woburn, but not necessarily resided in Woburn; this was a common practice during this time. You will also find that many blacks and mulattos are listed here as often these men fought in the place of their employers. I have tried to stay true to the surnames of these men as they were spelled in many different ways other than what we know of them today. Any instance of the word, "Woburn" has been highlighted in red so that it is easier to follow who are the Woburnites...
