Lynn, I don't have any information on Myndert Van de Bogert.Sorry. I got the names of the men in Pliny Adams Regiment from a cousin who has a CD on New York in the War of 1812. She only copied the names of the men we were interested in, not the names of the entire Regiment. I got copies of the actual service records from the National Archives in Washington, D.C. You can go there and get the records, you can use their forums and request the information directly from them, or you can hire a professional genealogist to do it for you. I have done all three in the past. If you go there, the War of 1812 Records are stored on a different floor than the floor that the Library is on.... SO you have to request the specific War of 1812 records that you are interested in and it takes several hours for them to get your records for you. So, get there in the morning and be able to stay pretty much all day. You can request the information from them by mail. You need to use their forums, pay a fee! , and it takes a while---but it works. Last time, I hired a professional genealogist. He charged me $ 20.00 per service record. Now, having said all that, I don't think a service record is worth all the time, effort and money it takes to get it.....UNLESS you have a specific reason to get it. In my case, I was trying to figure out relationships between 8 men all named Searles who fought in the same Regiment. I, and about 7 other researchers, have been trying for several years to put these men in family groups and prove parentage. We wanted the service records to see if they could help us in our task.( 1) we speculated that men more closely related would tend to serve together OR ( 2) we speculated that men from the same town would be placed in the same Company. We found out from the service records that all of the Searles men enlisted and served the exact same days and were discharged on the same day at the same place, Burlington, VT. Five of the Searles men all served in o! ne Company of the Regiment AND we know that 4 of these men where broth ers,-- Abraham, Isaac,Samuel, and Jacob,-- and and the 5th man was their uncle, Jeriah. We believe that they all lived in Whitehall.Two of the Searles men served in another Company. I believe that they were brothers-in-law. One of them, William, is also a brother-in-law of Jeriah in the first Company ( a Searles married a Searles) and the other, Elijah, is also an uncle of the four men in the 1st Company and a brother of Jeriah. We know from the 1810 & 1820 census one of them lived in Granville and the other lived in Hampton. Finally, the last Searles' man who served in Pliny Adam's Regiment, served in yet a different Company. This is the man from whom I believe that I'm descended--John Searles. Putting lots of speculation together, I believe that he may be the son of the John and Abigail Searles from Salem. AND he is not as closely related to the other Searles men. I'm not sure where he lived, but it may have been Salem.I am pretty sure that the John Searles on 1790 census! of Salem, is a uncle of Jeriah and Elijah, and the Abigail Searles on subsquent censuses is his wife. All told, War of 1812 pension records would be the BEST to get, they would have MUCH more information. But none of these Searles' men had pension records. If anybody has any information, I would love to hear from them.
