Hi Paula -- In answer to your questions: >My questions are these: Where can I find this source? The Library of VA? >Is is online in their digital library? And what type of info is likely to be >found on "p. 823"? > > >Index to the War of 1812 Pay Rolls & Muster Rolls: CATALOG CARD: > Elam, Miles. > Muster Rolls, p.823 > Yes, this is from the Library of Virginia collection, but these items are not available in the digitial images library. I don't know exactly what you'll find on p. 823 or any of the rest. Every state was different in the type and amount of information they collected. Some of them are quite detailed. If you think this is your Miles, I would certainly contact them. I wish I could be of more help, but at this point, you know as much about it as I do. Good luck and let us know what you find out.
