I am looking for a list of the volunteers that arrived with Lafayette in 1777. I have seen some websites that list the more prominent men but nothing will a full list of the men. Any ideas? Thank you.

Hi jrake,

It looks like the Library of Congress holds the Marquis de Lafayette papers: Marquis de Lafayette papers, 1757-1990 (Library of Congress Finding Aid)

  Thank you so much! I just called the Library of Congress and hopefully they can identify which of the 64 reels of microfilm might hold the info I am looking for.

    I hope you find what you're looking for! Another possible source is the George Washington papers held at Mount Vernon: The Papers of George Washington Documentary Editing Project · George Washington's Mount Vernon
    
    EDIT: there are also some Lafayette files at Independence Hall's special collections library, which can be reached at 215-597-8047
