With the help of Mr. Ellis, I found James Miller listed on the 16th [Cambridge] Regiment NYS militia roster as James Millar. It listed the colonels as Col. John Blair, and Col. Lewis Van Woert. http://www.revwar75.com/ob/m246.htm#ny On this site I saw a NARA microfilm listing for "Van Woert's Reg't of Militia 1779-1780" but nothing for the 16th Reg't NYS Militia or that of a Col. John Blair. Is this the right unit? Revolutionary War unit rolls: M-246-77 Has anyone used these unit rolls and were they helpful? Did this unit go by any other name? What was the typical length of service in this situation? I would like to say how much I appreciate all of your collective help with this - Thanks for all of your time and efforts. -Mike

Yes, the 16th, or Cambridge, Reg't of Albany Co. Militia was under Col. Lewis Van Woert. (It was also called the 16th New York Militia.)
