http://www.wordnik.com/lists/a-return-of-cloathing-provisions-and-stores-taken-in-the-towns-of-york-gloucester-the-19th-day-of-october-1781.xml Several of these words may seem misspelled. I copied them that way from the primary source in which I found the list: Salem Gazette, Thursday, Nov. 29, 1781. <br /> <br />The first line in the article states: "The following Returns should have been added to those inserted in our last week’s paper." The previous week's paper read: <br />Extract of a letter from York-Town, October 19. <br />“Return of the British army at York and Gloucester:—2 regiments artillery, 2 of guards, 2 of light-infantry, 7 of foot, viz. 17th, 23d, 33d, 45th, 71st, 76th, and 80th; 2 regiments Anspachers, Hereditary Prince’s regiment of horse, Simcoe’s and Tarleton’s legions ditto, and 1800 Negroes; in all about 7900, exclusive of 1000 seamen, a British regiment number unknown, and 9 companies of Yagers (Jaegers were German-speaking riflemen): 60 pieces brass cannon, 150 iron ditto (meaning "the same"); 900 barrels beef and pork, 300 ditto flour, 150 firkins butter, 70 barrels powder, 80 ships, large and small.---Remainder not come to hand.â€* <br /> <br />This list was the stuff that came to hand, in addition to the above. <br /> <br />This list was published in many newspapers in the United States shortly after the American victory at Yorktown. The Revolutionary War--and the fighting--continued for another two years, but without any more large, pitched battles. http://www.wordnik.com http://www.wordnik.com/words/ships Thu, 01 Nov 2007
