In 1991, Winston De Ville published Louisiana Soldiers in the American Revolution. The book was based upon an unpublished work by Charles Robert Churchill. The book was recognized by the Daughters of the American Revolution National Society. In addition to being a major resource for genealogy, the lists simplify the documentation needed for membership in the DAR/SAR. The militia lists had been posted on my site http://www.thecajuns.com as a service to the Genealogy Community; however, all except those that are public records based upon historical plaques have been removed until copyright issues can be addressed. To have a name checked, please contact me separately. The lists for Attakapas and Pointe Coupee and a Plaque honoring General Galvez remain on the militia list page at: http://www.thecajuns.com/patriots.htm since these are public monuments.

What are these copyright issues? Perhaps copies of the original, handwritten archival records (in French, Spanish, or whatever) could be posted; surely, those are public records. I also wanted to alert the list to another published, nearly 200-page book listing many, many names that covers the same ground as follows: "Spain's Louisiana Patriots in its 1779-1783 War with England During the American Revolution: Part Six of the Spanish Borderland Studies", by Granville W. Hough and N. C. Hough, Borderlands Press, 2000." It is available from the Borderlands Book Store, San Antonio, Texas, for $30. Seven other books in the series are available for California, Texas, etc. Carl HUVAL Vicksburg, Mississippi U.S.A.

Carl, Thanks for the info on the book. I just purchased The Spanish Borderlands Frontier 1513-1821 by John Francois Bannon which has info on all the Colonial Louisiana Posts. I've skimmed and already found info on some from the Arkansas, St. Louis and Illinois Posts who ended up in Louisiana. Also, info on some who deserted from the Arkansas Post and ended up in New Mexico - a LeFevre was one! The book youmentioned may be based upon the Churchill Collection but I'll check it out.
