Hello Terry,

I found this in the Research Wiki:

For information about the federal soldiers from Pennsylvania (the Pennsylvania Line), see John B. B. Trussell, Jr., The Pennsylvania Line, Regimental Organization and Operations, 1776-1783 (Harrisburg, PA: Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission, 1977; FHL book 974.8 M2tp.

 

RESEARCH WIKI https://www.familysearch.org/wiki/en/Main_Page

 

A great Research source is Help Feature on FamilySearch.org. Sign into FamilySearch.org and your Family Tree.

On the upper right near to your name is a ? Question Mark. Click on that and when the confusing down box appears, click on "Help Center" at the bottom. When it goes to the next page, put your question in the Search Box. It takes a bit of time, using different search criteria to get the result you want. But likely it is there, just a bit hard to find.  

 

Enjoy,

Anitra
