Gloria, Have you looked in the National Archives guide to genealogical records in the national archives? If you don't have it, your library should. There's good information there in concise form. Virgil White has published an index to U.S. Volunteers in the Indian Wars as well as an index to pensions granted for Indian War service. I'd certainly check those, of course. No indexes are available to men or heirs who received bounty land in federal land states like Florida although those records can be searched by writing to the National Archives, Washington, DC 20408. Volunteers, militia, and regulars all qualified for bounty land. I'd also query the reference staff at the Florida State Archives. A number of militia records were transferred there a few years ago. I believe they also have service records, or at least the indexes thereto, on microfilm. What were the "Rogers Reight Riders"? Good luck! --Brian Michaels ****************************************** GOlson8508@aol.com wrote: > > Can anyone tell me how to obtain information pertaining to Capt.
