## Notes

- The printed text names "Lt. Simeon Harmon" throughout the pay roll and its approval order, but the Treasurer's Office receipt at the bottom names the recipient "Lt. Simeon Hathaway." This is a discrepancy in the printed page itself, transcribed exactly as printed; not resolved here.

- "[39]" at the foot of the page is the book's own secondary page number, printed as shown.

- No person named Oak, Oake, Oakes or Oaks appears on this page. The Capt. Josiah Fish company roll continues onto p. 610.

- Bracketed material ("[231]", "[Capt. Ebenezer Wood's Company]", "[535]", "[Capt. Josiah Fish's Company]") is in the original printing.

How it is shown: Complete page as supplied; no crop, no retouch, no search highlight.

Keep in mind: Heading page only; the Seth Oak row is on p. 611. Printed name confirmed; identification with Seth Oak born 1733 (at Athens by 1782) is Likely.
