Hello, I want to thank everyone who helped me with my WILT family. This has been a tremendous gift to me. I had worked for years on this side to no avail. I just had not asked the right questions to the right people, obviously. I had spent hours in my local library pouring thru all the microfilms I could get thru interlibrary loan from Richmond for Shenandoah Co. Now I can start all over with Rockingham Co and I am excited to possibly find what I am looking for here. Gloria, I would like to ask you...I found a 'Record of Burial Place of Veteran' record for a Peter WILT from the war of 1812, but its for Pennsylvania. Peter was in Rockingham Co, VA by 1812. If he was born in PA would he have fought for PA? The birth and death dates fall nicely into our time frame to rule him out. His birth date was Jun 4, 1774 and died Apr 26, 1849. Is there another possible reason that he could be buried in York Co., PA? Or do you think this is a diffrent Peter Wilt? I will be looking for microfilms of wills and land records etc.. which might give me a clue but I thought I would ask. Thanks again everyone.
