The War of 1812 database indexes approximately 40,000 names appearing in __Pay Rolls of Militia Entitled to Land Bounty Under the Act of Congress of Sept. 28, 1850__ (Richmond, 1851) and __Muster Rolls of the Virginia Militia in the War of 1812__ (Richmond, 1852) which supplements Pay Rolls. The supplement contains the Companies and parts of Companies which were omitted in the Pay Rolls. Both volumes were copied from rolls in the office of the Auditor of Public Accounts in Richmond. Stay tuned for announcements of the availability of many more new Digital Library resources!
