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.

Barry] St. Ledger in the Mohawk valley in 1777." That's it. The ancestor wasn't named! I don't think his straight-paternal See g-g-grandfather was the one though -- and there don't seem to have been any Sees in the Tryon Co. militia -- so I'm looking at his paternal grandfather's mother, whose name was Schumacher. She lived in Gallatin, in Columbia Co. NY, but had evidently come from somewhere else, so maybe she came from German Flatts. David See and Catherine Schumacher named their third son John, and John Schumacher is in one list of the militia marked as killed, so he looks interesting. From the family trees posted on the web of the German Flatts Shoemakers, though, it is not obvious where Catherine and John might fit. Complicated subject. Thanks for your help. I might see if D.A.R. lineages and pension lists can reveal anything. -Dave See ------------------------------ Message: 3 Date: Tue, 5 Sep 2006 19:59:04 EDT From: ACMBJC@aol.com Subject: [AMERICAN-REVOLUTION] RW pension file/Alexander THOMPSON To: american-revolution@rootsweb.com, THOMPSON-L@rootsweb.com Message-ID: <c06.3554ec2.322f6948@aol.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Listers: This past summer I sent to NARA and received a RW pension file for an Alexander THOMPSON, of York Co., PA. He is NOT the ancestor I was looking for, and would like to see this file go to someone who is a descendant. I would like to recoup what I paid for the file, which was $37.00, but will accept a best offer if reasonable. His widow's name was Elizabeth, and the file designation is W3623/BLWT31723-160-55. Please contact me OFF LIST at __acmbjc@aol.com__ Thanks so much for your interest and your time.
