Does anyone on the list have the Appomattox Paroles book and would be willing to look up a few names for me? I would like to buy it, but not unless some of my ancestors are in it, as my income is limited. I will be glad to trade look ups in the books I have. Thanks for your help!

Bateman III Mr. Bateman, I sent for the French and Indian War record for Archibald Thompson in 1998 and received a copy of the Land Office Warrant for Archibald's service. The land grant he got for this service was in Montgomery Co., and recorded in 1793; the image of the grant is available through the Library of Virginia Electronic web site. I will paste all information I got from the LOV below, and in a separate post, give selected entries from Brockstruck's "Virginia Colonial Soldiers," which was enclosed with the copy I received. The excerpt did not include Sussex, so you could check the Bockstuck book to see if your Peter Solomon is listed. As you have the Peter Soloman's French-Indian War service record, you could write the Library to see if they can find a record in their French and Indian War Bounty Warrants Reels. Here's the information I sent to LOV when requesting the copy of Archibald's service record: ARCHIBALD THOMPSON DIARY Transcript by Lula Hankins Hunter <http://www.public.asu.edu/~moore/archibald/> Page 102 December ye 1st 1759 We was Discharged out of the Second Battallion of the Virginia Ridgement By an Act of Asembly From under the Comd of *Col pechua and Capt Trockmorton and Lieut Richardson . *Per research by Barbara Marsh, "on 14 Sept 1758, the House of Burgesses passed an act for the defense of the Virginia frontier.

Archibald Thompson, as entered in his DIARY, was a member of the Second Regiment, serving under Col. William Peachy, Col. of the Frontier Battalion, and Capt. Gabriel Throckmorton.
