Hi All, Since there may be new researchers on the lists now, just thought it might help to remind you that the 1754 Eaton's Militia Muster roll is on the web at: http://members.home.net/teylu/woodlief/eatons.html This is generally held to be the earliest "census" of every able-bodied man in Granville County in 1754.. It is also the "source" of many early family histories of this area (and has led to some extremely "questionable" assumptions, I might add <g>). In the cases of some lines, assumptions of familial relationships have been made, which are not proven...so you do need to be careful. (the Perry and Woodlief lines of research are particularly notable for this <grin>). Bear in mind this list contains fathers/sons and perhaps even some "young" grandfathers....not to mention cousins, and probably some people who just happened to have the same surname. ;-) To assume listings of the same surname (even within the same company!) are "brothers" *solely* on the basis of their names being listed on this muster roll can lead to some erroneous family lines. ;-) So be sure you've got OTHER forms of historical "proof" of a familial relationship. Anyway...the full muster roll is online, and I hope it helps you with your research. http://members.home.net/teylu/woodlief/eatons.html Kind regards, Sandy -- [email protected] homepages: http://members.home.net/teylu/ >
