Does anyone have ancestors from Worcester County who served during the Revolutionary War? I"m looking for photocopies of muster lists, correspondence, pension records, etc. of the Worcester Militia as I attempt to prove at least one of my Eastern Shores ancestors was a patriot. I have found references in libraries to original documents of some of the Companies' lists. My ancestor Burrell Drummond (transcribed as "Bur*ll Drumman") enlisted as a private in 1780 under Capt. Charles Bennett. Other family names in this company include: Selby, Townsend; Owens; Pusey; Anderson; Riggen; Atkinson; Merrell (Merrill); Ruark. This is from Henry C. Peden, Jr.'s "Revolutionary Patriots of Worcester & Somerset Counties, Maryland, 1775-1783." I have someone at the Maryland Historical Society looking through some boxes of original documents of the time but hoped that maybe someone on the list might know of other original sources. Burrell Drummond, son of Stephen and Elizabeth (UNK) Drummond, died in 1791 and probably never received any pension payments. His widow, Naomi Selby Drummond, married and was widowed a second time by 1796; Burrell and Naomi's three children moved to Kentucky before 1807, and then to Illinois and Indiana. Not sure what happened to Naomi or if she moved with them. Eleanor * Rayl

I have a John Tindal that served in the Worcester Co., Militia. I found the list in THE MARYLAND GENEALOGICAL BULLETIN. I wrote the National Archives and they did not have the info. Next I wrote the Maryland Archives and received a photo copy of one page of the list. It is very hard to read but your ancestor is not on this page. It is from Revolutionary War Militia list in Maryland Historical Society. DAR approved the supplement. Good luck.
