I am looking for two men who most likely fought in the Revolutionary War. They are not listed in DAR books, so have not been proven. I am thinking there must be a source of Revolutionary War rolls, other than what is at the National Archives. Does anyone know of a source here online? I am looking for a DAVID MURDOCK (also seen spelled as Murdaugh, Moredock, and Murdaeigh) and a JAMES MURDOCK (seen spelled same as above) and trying to find out which State they served from. I have land records that seem to imply that they were given land in VA for their service. Does this mean they fought from VA? One sold 200 acres in 1788 and the other sold 100 acres in 1789. If this thought is a no-go, what about a possible source that might list where Rev War soldiers are buried, that might have them listed? They disappear from VA when this land sells and I am trying desperately to figure out where they went!! Was the War over in 1788, and that's why they moved? Any ideas? Any ideas VERY much appreciated from you experts!!! THANK YOU! Tracy

Dear Tracy, If you will go to the site of the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution at this URL: http://www.dar.org/natsociety/default.html and scroll down to Patriot Lookup (on the right side of the page), you may request help from volunteers at DAR. Of course if your Patriot is not proven he will not be there, but if he is, they will tell you. Be sure and include the various spellings you suspect and supply them with as much information as you have. (When you are ready to join DAR, write me personally and I will put you in touch with a chapter in your area) Good luck, Regards, Margaret Driskill, Regent Twickenham Town Chapter, NSDAR mdriskill@att.net
