Sorry for not getting back to you sooner. While at our local library I looked at Ancestry .com and found this: War of 1812 Service Record/Pension Justin L Jacobs Company: 4 Reg¹t (Pecks) Vermont Milita Inducted: Privite Discharge: Privite Roll box: 109 Roll Exct: 602 Being new at the Pension records I was wondering what the Roll box: and Roll Exct: mean. I am assuming these are microfilm reel numbers. And Thank you Scott for your information I really appreciate your help. Is there any online information on these battles that this unit served in. Thanks again.

Pat, Roll box: 109 Roll Exct: 602 My guess is that is the location the lists were in when Ancestry first put them online. However, when I sent for my first War of 1812 records several years ago, I was informed the records are searched in alphabetical order by name and the location above does not apply. I have received records from the NARA several times by sending the name and service information that I had found. One of them even had a reject notice as the records for his service did not make it to a repository. Good Luck with your research, Virginia

Recently while researching Hyatts, I found these two: Joseph Hyatt a private in captain John S. See's Company of Infantry in the Regt. of NY Detached Militia commanded by LT Col Jonathan Varian and Samuel Hyatt, a private in Capt.. Edward Loverich's Co. of the Detached Militia in 93 and 64 Consolidated Regt. of the NYS Infantry. Can any one further identify these units as to location etc so I can see if these are the Joseph Hyatt and Samuel Hyatt that I am researching? Thank you Marilyn
