Need someone 's opinion are these books worth buying, since I do research on the War. REVOLUTIONARY WAR: The Pension Lists of 1792-1795 With Other Revolutionary War Pension Records (Clark) Murtie June Clark Two catastrophic fires in 1800, one in the War Department, the other in the Treasury Department, destroyed the earliest Revolutionary War pension application records. These records consisted primarily of claims for relief based on death or disability suffered during the War. Nevertheless, certain pension records pre-dating the critical year 1800 survive in the form of Congressional reports, and these reports would appear to be the earliest Revolutionary War pension records extant. Four such reports have been identified and are transcribed in this work. Within each report the claims are arranged by state, giving, generally, name, rank, regiment, description and circumstances of wounds incurred, and information regarding pension, place of residence and physical fitness. With an index to nearly 4,000 persons. Hardcover, 216 pp., (1991) Reprint 1996 MARYLAND: Maryland Revolutionary Records. Data Obtained from 3,050 Pension Claims and Bounty Land Applications, Including 1,000 Marriages of Maryland Soldiers and a List of 1,200 Proved Services of Soldiers and Patriots of Other States (Newman) Harry Wright Newman This extremely useful work derives from an examination of more than 3,000 Revolutionary War pension claims and bounty land applications. Part I, "Maryland Revolutionary Pensioners," gives the name of the veteran, his date of birth, rank, name of the group in which he served, and the name of the pension applicant (the widow, for example). Part II consists of "Maryland Federal Bounty Land Grants," giving the name of the soldier, his rank, acreage received, date the warrant was issued, and the warrant number. Part III is a list of Maryland soldiers who did not receive pensions but whose service has been established through records. Part IV consists of a list of marriages proved through Maryland pension applications, and Part V is a list of soldiers whose Revolutionary service was in states other than Maryland. Hardcover, 155 pp., (1938) Reprint 2002

Hugh, You may want to visit Col. Daniel Morgan's Frontier rifle Corp. At the request of George Washington , Daniel Morgan formed a unit of 500 expert riflemen from the Virginia frontier. The unit drew from several other Va units. For example, Capt. Thomas Posey's Co. fought in several battles in early 1777, then in mid-1777 was assigned to Daniel Morgan's Corp for a few months during the Battles of Saratoga, then resumed their normal duties following Saratoga. The life expectancy for soldiers assigned to Morgan wasn't real great but he had little difficulty recruiting. It seems that so many were killed or wounded that sometimes whole units were depleted to the point where they were re-assigned to other units. Again, tracking Capt. Thomas Posey's unit for a couple of years (perhaps 1777-1778) would demonstrate why it is so difficult to keep up with individual soldiers assigned to specific units. I can only imagine how confusing it must have been during that time period.

There is conflicting data regarding the consolidation of the 4th VA and the 8th VA and redesignated as the 4th VA. One source says they were consolidated in Sep 1778 Other source says consolidation was on 12 May 1779. Any help here? Best, Hugh

Charles, that probably does help. John Davidson fought under Capt. Griffith John McRee, who I believe to have been in Bladen County (Caswell was part of Orange/Bladen/Granville/Johnston) so that's probably the wrong neck of the woods. The John Davidson I'm hoping to find in these military records was from Rockingham County. Of course, that doesn't mean his father was also in Rockingham.

In a message dated 9/9/2006 3:05:40 AM Eastern Daylight Time, Mary A. Christiansen wonders: << Revolutionists positions in the service as Soldiers during the W. Another question I have is perhaps some information more specific to what areas and towns and country's they came from >> By "positions" do you mean rank or location? For either, muster- and pay-rolls can tell you a lot. You have to research each one individually. Where to get the surviving records depends on whether the soldier was in militia (the County), State Troops (State) or Continental Regiment (National Archives and other general resources). There are exceptions that list members could help with if you would give the unit(s) each person served in. As for >>areas and towns and country's they came from<< do you mean the soldier himself or the immigrant ancestor in the paternal line or all immigrant ancestors? From Rootsweb's home page you can find a series of tutorials on how to do genealogical research. Many books and procedural guides have been written on this subject. Queries in this subject area should be directed to surname message boards or mailing lists, or the message boards or mailing lists for one place you know the soldier lived, not this mailing list. Good hunting, Judy

Is there a way I might be able to pinpoint my Revolutionists positions in the service as Soldiers during the W. Another question I have is perhaps some information more specific to what areas and towns and country's they came from. I would appeciate any help that is available. I need some guidance to work more in depth on my Soldiers as I am now with the DAR and some of the ladies are helpful but of course they are very busy with thier own things. Sincerely, Mary A.

Dave, Here are two great web sites for info on the Mohawk Valley during the Revolutionary War. Don't get lost! <http://www.fortklock.com/index.html> <http://www.fort-plank.com/> For Shoemaker and genealogy of related families you will want to acquire or borrow (interlibrary loan) Maryly Penrose's _Compendium of Early Mohawk Valley Families_ (2 vols, Genealogy Publishing Co.), and Henry Z Jones' _Even More Palatines_ (Picton Press). These are both works that mostly give documentation of specific sources. Regrettably, Penrose did not index the names of baptismal sponsors in the records she reprints from published transcripts, but unlike other transcribers for other areas she did at least give the names of the sponsors. As you get into the records you will see the significance of this. For the earlier groups of German church records the names of the sponsors tell you almost as much as the main baptismal-record data. If you would give your Shoemaker first name(s) and approximate dates I might have a thing or two concerning the Rev. War period; email me. This is ***not*** one of my families, so those tempted to email me on Shoemaker genealogy generally will not get a productive response! Good hunting, Judy

Dave, I found five Shoemakers listed for the 4th Regt. Tryon County militia. they are: Christopher Frederick Hansjost John Jost Thomas Hope this helps some Don R

Dave, Do you have a first name for your Shoemaker. There are a number of them listed in New York in the Revolution. Maybe I could locate something for you. Don R

Thanks for the answers, and sorry to be such a "newbie" on the subject. The Shoemakers in the fourth Tryon Co. regiment seem to be what I'm looking for. I'll go see what I can find on them. -Dave See

It was "St. Leger" (no "d") although many Americans mis-pronounce it to rhyme with "ledger". It is said "Sant Lezhay" with emphasis on the last syllable. Dan well summarizes the items to search for. Beware the lists of folks who allegedly were present at the battle of Oriskany; there is not very good documentation for them, and some are on the common lists who could not have been there--or descendants confuse a person by X name with another by the same name. Also relatives with similar names *were* there (such as Christopher Fox/Fuchs and his nephew Christopher Fox/Fuchs). Cheers, Judy

Take a look at the seige of Ft. Stanwix near present day Rome NY and the battle of Oriskany in which Gen Herkimer was killed. Both involve St. Ledger's attempt to move up the Mohawk valley to the aid of Gen Brugoyne at Saratoga. He was stopped at Ft. Stanwix and went back to Canada. Don R

I just found out recently that an old relative of mine, living in Saratoga Springs NY in 1891, told an interviewer that he was "a descendant of a revolutionary soldier, his paternal great-great-grandfather having been an American soldier who fell in battle during the movements against [Col. Guy] St. Ledger in the Mohawk valley in 1777." It shouldn't be too hard to find out which battle this was, and get a more specific idea of when and where this took place. My question to this list is, is there any way to know which regiments took part in these "movements"? Thanks if you can help, David See
