April 19th 1775 and the Cavalry

It is a known fact that three towns mustered their militia cavalry troops on April 19th 1775. Ipswich, Groton and Sudbury were the communities, but where are the muster rolls to show who was in those troops?

The other question is during the siege of Boston, the Battle of Bunker Hill and the other operations associated with the summer of 1775 did any of these troops participate?

Count Pulaski’s Legion did recruit early on in Boston before moving to Baltimore, did any of the militiamen join this formation?

Connecticuts militia troop’s clearly were involved as well as the Philadelphia Troop, but for some reason the Massachusetts stuff was lost to the dust bin of history.
