Lieutenant Ciesielsky

The first piece of paper:

This is a list of payment for those soldiers who had been detached with premier-lieutenant Ciesielsky:

Tra[k]tament erhalten
diejenigen Mannschaften so beym Lieut. Cieselsky auf Comando waren.

Above the columns with the months from September to March, it is written: haben erhalten = "have received".

On the right

haben in Quartier gelegen pro Martz = had stayed in quarters in March
For reasons unknown to me, these three men receive (bekomt raus) varying amounts of pay. Perhaps they stayed in quarters for different periods. Soldiers staying in quarters had to be supplied with food by their host, therefore the fraction of of their pay which was intended to enable them buying their own food, was deducted.

George v. Ciesielsky had been in the 1. Schlesisches Infanterie-Regiment since its formation in early 1809. He was promoted Premier-Lieutenant on 13 April 1811, Stabs-Capitaine on 15 November 1813, and Wirklicher Capitaine on 10 October 1814. On 2nd December 1814, he was transfered to the 11. Reserve-Regiment.

The first, Unteroffizier Behrend, doesn't appear in the Rangierrolle you posted. Maybe this document is not from the 5th company.

The second piece of paper:

Top left:

Four names with amounts of money - I have no idea what this for. 2 Reichsthaler is the monthly pay of private, a Hautboist (musician, here perhaps one named Hoffen or Auffen ?) received 4 Reichsthaler per month. No soldier in the line received exactly 3 Reichsthaler per month.

Top right:

Gives seven names which are listed on the first paper. One, Bedermann, is missing. The header "Der 4 M" perhaps or perhaps not means: "of the four m[onths]" ?

Bottom left:

Schuh (shoes) and Sohlen (soles): The eight men listed on the first paper received either shoes or shoes plus additional soles. Only NCO Behrend received only soles. Perhaps he wore boots. Maybe the date of 24 November 1812 refers to the date of delivery.

Bottom right:

Mandel (Mäntel - greatcoats): NCO Behrend and Bedermann received new ones on 28 January. On the left, musketeer Bedermann ranks directly behind Behrend, so probably he is the oldest (longest serving) musketeer. I read somewhere that due to shortage of supplies, in winter 1812/13 new greatcoats were given to the NCOs first, and the little rest delivered to the men - by anciennity ?

Bottom right below:

Krank (ill):
Lux - 2 Märtz - Neu Stedtin (Neustettin, today Szczecinek)
Kuschnik 26 Feb - Stargard (Stargard in Pommern)
Bedermann d[ito] d. d.

Bottom:

das Tratament [haben] erhalten als - als = also ? ("therefore")
pro Sept 1812 2 rth - all received their pay of 2 Reichsthaler
pro O.ber - Lux Bermann Mulerk nicht erhalten - these three didn't receive their pay. It seems, looking at the list on the first paper, the others neither.
pro Januar alle Mann - "all men". According to the list on the first paper, they got this January pay in February,
[pro] Februar 16 gr erhalten - received in March, 16 Groschen for every man.
