Series II: New York State Artillery Corps Papers, 1802-1815, inclusive; 1814, bulk

Series II consists of military records relating to Stevens' tenure as a Major-General of the New York State Artillery Corps. The papers include returns, correspondence and regimental orders. Military returns include inventory information regarding both the men and goods of specific military companies. The majority of the records are departmental or regimental orders and correspondence between officers. There is a significant gap in the material for the years 1808-1814, when Stevens was active as commander of the Artillery in the defense of New York City during the War of 1812.
