Pay Document marked by Prince Hotchkiss

Pay Document marked by Prince Hotchkiss

Prince Hotchkiss enlisted on June 4, 1777 for the duration of the war making him one of the approximately 5,000 soldiers and sailors of African descent, both free and enslaved, who served the Revolutionary cause. His regiment, the 8th Connecticut, saw action at the Battle of Germantown, Siege of Fort Mifflin, and Battle of Monmouth. It remains unclear if Hotchkiss was free or enslaved, but his Black ethnicity is confirmed through descriptive muster rolls taken at Valley Forge. Here, Hotchkiss marked a “X” by his name to confirm backpay owed to him.
