Hi, Can some helpful person out there tell me what my next step should be with the following information: Name: RICHARD BAYNE Company: 111 REG'T (PARKER'S) VIRGINIA MILITIA. Rank - Induction: PRIVATE Rank - Discharge: PRIVATE Roll Box: 13 Roll Exct: 602 Source Information: Direct Data Capture, comp. War of 1812 Service Records. [database on-line] Provo, UT: Ancestry.com, 1999-. Original data: National Archives and Records Administration. Index to the Compiled Military Service Records for the Volunteer Soldiers Who Served During the War of 1812 M602, 234 rolls. Washington, D.C.: National Archives and Records Administration. I am posting this to the Mich rootsweb list because this ancestor lived most of his life in Clyde, St. Clair, Michigan. Has anyone on the list looked up these types of records? What type of information do they contain? Any help appreciated. Thanks, Donna

Well you most certinly want to write to DC for his records. some recors tell a whole lot about a person who served or it will have just the basic info. But I would definitely send for it as it is an honor to have that paper work. My 2nd great grandfathers' brother was in the Civil War and I have his papers from that file. It was interesting reading about how much they got paid, medals they received, illnesses they had, if wounded and where treated. When they were activated and discharged and what company they belonged to.
