They have been like that for quite awhile! I will do my best to get the other article for you next time I go do lookups. Can you give me any specifics with the date you are missing, or the ones that you already obtained so that I do not duplicate - and which paper you were looking in? There are a few places they could be buried. I will do some checking on that for you as well. Kathy Sedler Yuba County CAGenWeb Coordinator

However, unless you have reason to believe that a member of the Henshaw family has an interest in family history it may be doubtful that a post on this board will produce a response. As you know, making contact in this kind of situation must be approached with care. If you would like some suggestions regarding methodology and perhaps a different forum you are welcome to contact me via email offline. Kind regards, John

I happened across your query and do DAR look ups so incase you haven't contacted them yet-- I found a Jirah Martin b. 1762 NH, Pvt MA, received pension, d. 17 Feb 1843 NH, wife Hannah Cross. The National Archives probably has his pension records if not his service record. There are 5 David Ashleys listed in the DAR Index, however the only one who comes close was born in 1727 MA and died Feb.1813 MA, was a Pvt MA. His wife was Hannah Miller, he did not receive a pension.

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/QY.2ADE/1015.1 Message Board Post: Hello Jeff, I noticed that you have yet to receive a response to your query concerning your ancestors who may have served during the Revolutionary War. I can provide you with a few of the resources that I have used in my research. DAR offers a free search of their Patriot Index of those who have proven service between 1775 and 1783. Just go to their web site at http://www.dar.org/natsociety/pi_lookup.cfm and use the electronic form. You will receive a reply and for any ancestor that was found in their Index, information about their military service or other contribution to the common cause and how to obtain documentation from their records. National Archives has combined the Bounty Land files with the Pension files for soldiers of the Revolutionary War. The microfilm publication is M804 and can be viewed at most NARA facilities and ordered at a FHC. It has an alpha index. In addition, you can order copies of pension records from NARA online by going to their web pages. The main page is www.nara.gov and ordering copies of records is available at http://www.archives.gov/research_room/obtain_copies/veterans_service_records.html Click on the tab for military records at Washington DC as the other tab is for St Louis which holds post 1915 military service records. Bear in mind that the only record of service may be the muster rolls or the rosters of a militia unit that served from the county or township where your ancestor lived. These records are usually held by the state archives where your ancestor lived and served. Some of these records are available online and PA is just one example. NARA holds rosters and muster rolls for soldiers of the rank, those who served in the Continental Lines of the several Colonies, and those who served as officers. The French & Indian War will have to wait for another time but you should query Google and try some of the hits. Most service records are with the state archives as the successsor of the Colony from which your ancestor served. There are many other resources and approaches but the above should get you started. Hope it helps. Best wishes, John
