Joan, No, I haven't been able to find out any more specific information about that Company. Someone once told me they thought they had served on the western frontier against the Indians, but just from the study of the Revolutionary War I find that to be not very likely. The military emergency was always on the eastern seaboard from 1776-1778 and the armies sent to the western frontier area were pretty much the responsibility of Virginia. I have never received any other responses to the original query. Neil Elvick Folsom, CA In a message dated 6/18/2007 6:20:31 A.M. Pacific Daylight Time, jbretz1@earthlink.net writes: Good morning.

And if there is any information that I might be able to provide, I'd be happy to do so.

Could this have been the regiment that was raised to go to "western frontier" to put down the Whiskey Rebellion? I know a regiment was raised in Dauphne County for that purpose. Also, can you tell me where in the PA Archives the list is printed?

Patricia, There are lists of Whisky Rebellion Militia listed in "History of Dauphin County Pennsylvania - Vol II" by Luther Reily Kelker; The Lewis Publishing Company; 1907. I only have xeroxed the pages that had names of interest to me. Example - partial Page 1021. Return of Capt. Ainsworth's Volunteer Rifle Company Captain Saml. Ainsworth Lieut. Sam'l Ward Ensign John Campbell John McEwen James Thome Robt Kirkwood John Ramage George Young John Stewart Continued on Page 1022.

Found a number of references to Captain Martin Weaver - there are muster rolls or lists of some sort for 1778, 1779, 1780, 1781, 1783, with most of the entries for the Fourth Battalion of the Lancaster County militia, a couple with the 10th Battalion. Sometimes a colonel is listed such as Col Robert Elder, sometimes the reference is to Capt Martin Weaver only. None of these citations list place of service. Citations appear in the 5th Series, Volume VII, pages 363, 386, 392, 408, 510, 527, 995, 996, 997, 1008, 1046. So it appears that he served his new country throughout the Rev War. There is only one entry on page 347 that lists any place of service and that is for Captain Albright Deibler's unit in which Martin Weaver was a 2nd Lt. The description says they returned home after nearly a year of service in January of 1777. They had been at the battle of Long Island, where a number of the unit were taken prisoner and some such as my Ludwig Bretz barely got away, leaving their muskets stacked by the fires it was so close. Then they were detailed to to frontier in the following year - or 1777. Martin Weaver apparently mustered into another outfit as captain at the beginning of 1777, with Colonel Rogers. The only other entry for Martin Weaver is a note in the 5th series, Vol II, page 44, that he was a justice of the peace and died in 1803. Some entries - probably a duplicate of those in the PA Archives can be found in Egles Notes and Queries - didn't check them tonight. Joan Bretz
