Watts wrote: Hi Glenn: I've had one devil of a time finding out more on my G.G.G.GF Anthony CHRISTIAN, who served in the War of 1812 with the Bedford Co.VA Militia. His participation has been documented (listing name only) in at least two published books, but NARA has no records for him or Muster Roll of the unit? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
