I have found a ship's search engine; if you know the name of the ship, you can place it into this search engine and a/many resources come up concerning the ship. It's awesome the information that has been compiled. If you know the name of the ship, take a look at the information about it that is available!!

Would someone who has access to "Historical Register of Virginians in the Revolution" edited by John H. Gwathmey, please look up Capt. Robert Beall (Bell, Beale) and Lt Robert Beall (Bell, Beale) for me. I would be most appreciative. Joan Stevens

Hi Beverly, Check the printed Pa. Archives, 5th and 6th series, the index is in the 7th series, they have lists of soldiers who served in the Revolution. The 3rd series has tax lists from the 1770s which might help locate him. Pa. had a draft law so most of the men in Pa. between 18 and 53 should be listed.

A family member, Pvt. Samuel A. Ripley, died Jan 8, 1814--circumstances unknown. I have his record from Washington, but it's very vague. He was a member of U. S. Army 4th Regt. Capt. Hay. Can anyone tell me if this was a combat unit or a training unit? I submitted this a little earlier but didn't provide enough information. thanks, Charles

I am going to just lay out my problem and hope someone can help me figure out what to do next. I have a Thomas MAY bn abt 1737, his son John was born in PA in 1783.

I'm looking for a burial site for Pvt. Samuel A. RIPLEY, US Army--not militia, from Jefferson, Maine who died in service during the War of 1812. I sent for Samuel's records from NARA and there wasn't much information--nothing on how he died. SAR has compiled Rev. War burials, is there anything similar for War of 1812 military? thanks, Charles

Does anyone know how I can find out more about my ancestor John Monk, born abt. 1752, died abt. 1835 in Monroe co.,Ga. I found on the internet that he received $26.66 annual allowance started on Nov. 29, 1833 at age 82 for his pension from the North Carolina Militia for Monroe co., Ga. for having been in the Revolutionary War? This is a report from The Secretary of War in Relation to the Pension Establishment of The United States. I contacted DAR about this and they only found a John Monk from New York. My question is how or where do I go to establish proof of his having been in the Rev. War? Is there another source out there that has rolls for soldiers from this part of the country? My e-mail address is roark@vtc.net Thanks, Quanah

Thank you Bill Carr and Janice Farnsworth for both sending me the music score. I should be able to play it on the piano now! Thanks again! Carole Pacific NW jhollin@pacifier.com

Hi Folks, I am seeking information on Col. Jonathan Ward's regiment and on Capt. Seth Wasburn. What regiment did they serve. And what battles they fought in. Thank You for any and all information. Ted

Elvin, Great project! Will you be posting some maps later on? You might be interested in "Butler's Rangers", by E. Cruikshank, Lundy's Lane Historical Society, first published in 1893, but still available in reissue from the UEL, Butler's Branch in Niagara Falls Ontario. Sorry, no ISBN number. This book covers the British perpective from extant British journals and records. I do know that the Wyoming Valley Massacre is covered in some detail, as well as the Sullivan advance. It would be an interesting corelation, and allow you to plot both the British and American movements on your maps. Regards Murray McCombs UE

Janice, If you wouldn't mind I would love a printout of the music or attachment however you have to do it. I had ancestor's in Mass. who fought in the revolution and would love to add that. Thank you in advance. Carole Pacific NW jhollin@pacifier.com
