Counterfeiting Currency During the Revolutionary War

Hello,
I have just learned that an ancestor was convicted of counterfeiting currency during the Revolutionary War. How do I find those records and what his sentence was?
Very grateful for your help.

Do you have any more details that would narrow down where to look for records? Was your ancestor a loyalist? Was he producing currency or passing it? Did he live in NY? Where was he convicted? Was the currency continental (issued by the continental army) or colonial (issued by one of the colonies)? It is great when research can help us understand more about our ancestors and the events that influenced their lives.
