Am writing historical novel based on our Howe family diaries from 1700s MA and 1800s VT to CA goldrush but would like to incorporate other real people, not just Howe folks, from that era to round out the novel. If anybody has interesting tidbits on their relatives/ actual mini-stories / funny quirks / sayings /adventurers/horrors! etc. which they would be interested in sharing, please do to annewellman@mindspring.com. (The years they lived and their town will probably have to be tweaked to get them to fit into the plot. Will try to use as many as receive.) Thank you. ----- Original Message ----- From: NewEnglander1621 <NewEnglander1621@email.msn.com> To: <CT-RIVER-VALLEY-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, September 06, 2000 1:37 AM Subject: [CRV] Records of War of 1812 > I have found some information that MAY assist someone searching VT military > records: > > "The printed list of Vermonters who served in wars from the Revolution to > the Korean War > were published by the Vermont Adjutant General's Office and are available > at most major > libraries" I would suggest contacting your library.....perhaps an > inter-library loan. > > Most original records whilch were kept in Vt before 1920 were destroyed in a > fire of 1945. > However, the Vt Adjutant General;s Veterans Affairs Office located at 118 > State St., Monteplier, > Vt 05602 will answer queries on military service records. > > The pension material is located at the National Archives in Washington,DC > > The "General Abstracts of Revolutionary War Pension files" has now been > published by Virgil > E.White and the National Historical Publishing Co. in 3 volumes with a 4th > volume as a cross > index. > > War of 1812 pension applications have been abstracted and published.
