    2. You can find the link to the digitized County Court of Claims Index at the same URL. _http://www.lva.lib.va.us/whatwehave/_ (http://www.lva.lib.va.us/whatwehave/) Select:MilitaryRecords And Resources Select: Digitized Military Resources On the upper right select: Images, Indexes, etc. Voila! Look at all the original military records available. For the RW Public Service Claims there is only a name index with county identified. The approved claims are in the minutes of County Court Minutes for 1782-3 which sat as the Court of Claims certificates. County claims certificates/receipts were issued to the citizen by persons authorized to beg/neded supplies. The certificates were received by the Commissioner of Continental Loan office in Richmond. I believe it is this information which was compiled for the publication from which Julia has offered lists for Berkeley, Frederick & Shenandoah Cos., VA The certificates were received by the of Virginia Continental Loan Office Commissioner in Richmond who issued Warrants for the Auditor/State treasurer to pay. Don't ask what happened to the Certificates or Warrants. My husband and I have been looking for them for a few years! Phyllis Vannoy Spiker **************Ideas to please picky eaters.
