PATRIOTS OF SANTO DOMINGO (by Granville W. and N. C. Hough)
Some Patriots of Santo Domingo (Española) who served in Spain’s 1779-1783 War with England – During the American Revolution - are found in Legajo 7290, LDS Film Roll 1156352, item 2, which includes service for key persons for the years 1786, 1788, and 1789. Wartime service is shown below, along with the marriage status for 1786, 1788, or 1789. On this Legajo, with the officers and key personnel shown, we have records for about ten percent of those who actually served in the units. It is probable that any descendant of these soldiers would be accepted into the National Society, Sons of the American Revolution.
