Marcia, The name could have been spelled as Frank, Fronk, Franc, etc.. There was a Frederick Frank in Hamilton's Rifle Regiment, Penn. Militia Roll #75, Record # 493. What was your soldiers BLM #. There is a Frederick Frantz that did receive land, but did not receive a pension. (Strange) This Frederick Frantz was also noted as Frederick Francis. If this is him, then the reason you did not locate a service file on him was because he served in the US Army Infantry, and this must be noted on your request, or they search only Militia Records Patrick ----- Original Message ----- From: "Houston" <houston4@netcarrier.com> To: <WARof1812-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, December 05, 2005 5:38 PM Subject: Re: [WARof1812] Colonel William Ross and Captain Joseph Bancroft > When you mention Erie County, do you mean in Pennsylvania?
