Here is another way to find information on those Revolutionary War soldiers. Once you find out if your ancestor may have served, you can send for the records. Lots and lots of valuable info if you get the pension records. I have two already and I think, four Civil War Records for ancestors. Have fun. These should keep everyone busy for awhile Jan <A HREF="http://www.dar.org/cgi-bin/natsociety/PI_lookup.cfm">Patriot Index Lookup Service</A> <A HREF="http://www.itd.nps.gov/cwss/soldiers.htm">Civil War Soldiers and Sailors System</A> Also: <A HREF="http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~angels/">Genie Angels</A> <A HREF="http://www.raogk.org/">Random Acts of Genealogical Kindness - Genealogy Research Tool</A>

I have gone through the Library url several times since Jan posted it and have had no problems reaching the Heritage Quest database and being able to use it, without needing a password. Thank you Jan for another helpful search tool.

Jan, I couldn't get in at HeritageQuest...I don't have a password, and without it, you're out of luck! Barbara in MO (but originally from NYC)

I don't care what happened - because of the post about the census records, I broke through a brick wall. Thank you for your "mistake"!!

HI, Jan, I am sure everyone on the list (well, maybe except for Tiffany) appreciates your efforts to help. I actually did get into the census records on one try...every other try, though, required a password. Sometimes when we try to do a good deed we get slammed. Ignore it! If anyone wants free census record help, you can get it through rootsweb. There is a census lookup for almost every state, manned by volunteers. You can sub to the list and ask for a look-up. The folks on the lists are very helpful. For instance, if you are looking for census info in Massachusetts, you just sub to MA-Census-Lookup-L-request@rootsweb.com (Of course you put in the initials to identify which state you want info from when you sub!) Once you get the message that you are subscribed, read the rules for the site, and then you can send your query. Usually the sites like you to put the name of the person, county or city (if known), and from which census you want info in the subject line. I have had very good luck with this. I don't have access to census records otherwise and the folks on those lists have been very kind about doing lookups for me. Hope this helps.

Hi Sorry for all the confusion. I was just trying to help others in their search. Sending copies of two e-mails I received this morning from "Tiffany", who, I guess did not appreciate my efforts. Jan Sorry, but you are actually wrong. The library has made a mistake and with your constant advertising, a costly one. If you read the Heritage Quest site you will see it IS a PAID database that the Fremont Library has purchased and probably inadvertently linked it to the open internet. I am sure once their hits go through the roof as they are certainly doing now they will find and correct the problem. Regards, Tiffany While I agree that if you access Heritage Quest through the Fremont Library Link it is free, the database itself is not free. The Fremont Library is paying for the subscription and have decided to let the access be available, or their webmaster made a mistake. Also for some people with certain operating systems or system setups it does not work. This has been on so many lists that the site now just crawls, I am sure it will be noticed and the open link fixed. This happened about six months ago with another library and it took them about 2 weeks to close up the open link. Regards, Tiffany

http://www.ancestry.com/search/rectype/inddbs/2067.htm Scots-Irish Description: This large and informative overview of the history of the Scots-Irish outlines the most noteworthy events of Scottish history. Use this database to acquaint yourself with this group as they appear in North Britain, North Ireland, and North America. The record mentions many prominent Scots-Irish individuals in the revolutionary war and other parts of American history, as well as lengthy discussions of the Great Plantation of Ulster. THE SCOTCH-IRISH OR THE SCOT IN NORTH BRITAIN, NORTH IRELAND, AND NORTH AMERICA CHAPTER I THE SCOTCH-IRISH AND THE REVOLUTION: North Carolina Line, nine regiments: 1st, Colonels James Moore and Francis Nash; 2d, Colonels Robert Howe and Alexander Martin; 3d, Colonel Jethro Sumner; 4th, Colonel Thomas Polk; 5th, Colonel John A. Lillington; 6th, Colonel Edward Buncombe; 7th, Colonel James Hogan; 8th, Colonel James Armstrong; 9th, Colonel Abraham Shephard page 25 Proceeding to analyze the list of the other generals created during the Revolutionary period, we further find as of probable Scottish blood: John Armstrong (Pa.) CHAPTER III THE SCOTCH-IRISH IN AMERICAN POLITICS In the Presidents' Cabinets, the Scotch have been represented as Secretaries of War, Henry Knox, James McHenry, John Armstrong... CHAPTER XII WHO ARE THE SCOTCH-IRISH? page 167 Another strong proof of the Scottish blood of the Ulstermen may be found by taking the annual reports presented to the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church of Ireland, held in June, 1887. Here are the names of the men, lay and clerical, who sign these reports, the names being taken as they occur: J. W. Whigham, Jackson Smith, Hamilton Magee, Thomas Armstrong... CHAPTER XX FROM MALCOLM CANMORE TO KING DAVID page 328 The list of lowland clans, amounting in all to thirty-nine, if it is authentic, which is very doubtful, as given in the recently published MS. of Bishop Leslie, who wrote during the reign of Queen Mary, shows that the greater number were of Saxon or Norman extraction. The following is the list: Armstrong... CHAPTER XXXIII THE SCOTTISH PLANTATION OF DOWN AND ANTRIM John Adair, Thomas Aiken, Widow Alexander, William Alexander, Robert Allan, Andrew Anderson, James Anderson, James Anderson's widow, Robert Anderson, James Aniston, William Armstrong... CHAPTER XXXVIII LONDONDERRY AND ENNISKILLEN Alexander Acheson, Francis Aldrich, Daniel Armstrong, John Armstrong, Martin Armstrong, Thomas Armstrong...
