Your inquiry encompasses a number of questions | (none of them easily answered!). We would like to help you, either in | the Archives at 5800 Jonesboro Road in Morrow, Georgia, or through our | mail reference service. You can print a copy of a Mail Reference | Request Form from our website at <www.GeorgiaArchives.org> and submit it | with the proper fee. Unfortunately, we can accept only one question | with each form; since this would become very expensive with the number | of questions you have, it would be better if you or your representative | could come to the Archives. | | Some of the information you are looking for actually may be found only | in South Carolina records. We do have a record of commissions that | reads "James Montgomery Gentln. Commission Second Lieutenant of a | Company of Militia in Burke County, commanded by ditto as above & signed | per ditto and ditto datd 8th Nov 1777. Recorded 15 decr 1777." This is | in colonial Military Commissions Book B2, page 276. This is a photocopy | you could send for or come to the Archives to copy. There is a | reference to a record of a James Montgomery as 2d Lt. Capt. John Adam | Neisler's company, 15 Dec. 15, 1777. It appears to be the same | commission, but evidently it is also in another record. | | Good luck with your research--and semper fi. | | ----------------------- | | Question History: | | Patron: 19SEP06 | | | LOOKING FOR INTEL ON;---"GEORGIA MILITIA DISTRICTS-CAPTIAN'S of;-" | "COLONIAL YEARS-THRU THE REV.
