The following is from a list of troops and companies drawn up in order to pay a gratuity of a weeks pay for service at Marston Moor.1) Although it differs little from lists compiled by historians from various sources, this would appear to be the only contemporary list of the Eastern Association Army at Marston Moor. To my knowledge it has not been previously noted or published, possibly because it is wrongly filed in the Commonwealth Exchequer papers amongst material from the 1650's.
The payment was made by the end of July. See for example the following entry from the accounts of Major John Alford of Manchester's Horse.
July 16442) Alsoe att Doncaster there was a weeks pay given to all the troope excepting to the officers in Commission by my Lord of Manchester as gratuity for theire extraordinary good service att Yorke fight, but what the sume was I cannot directly tell but it was immediately paide out to the souldyers according to my Lord of Manchester's order.3)
The list of troops is written in two columns without regimental breaks which are added here in square brackets. The name John Ashwell is written between Capt Hammond and Capt Mercer He is not a known officer but from the context could be Capt Hammond's Lieutenant. Companies are listed by Regiment.
Note that Capt Henry Ireton's troop of horse is missing from Lt Gen Cromwell's regiment. Perhaps this could be explained if Ireton's troop was escorting the York garrison that, according to the articles of surrender, should have been accompanied by one troop from each of the three allied armies.
note: The phrase “Att Marston Moor” has been added in a different hand
