Thought I'd share an answer to a question that I had originally joined the list to find.... in the book "Loudoun County, VA Militia Journals 1793-1829" by Don Blincoe, Sr. (available through Willow Bend Books) it states -- "At a Board of Officers for the 56th & 57th Reg'ts. Loudoun Mil'a. held at the Court House of said County on the 16 day of Oct'r 1810 for the purpose of altering the present Regimental Districts". It goes on describe boundaries and "As usual this will give unto the 57th Reg't the whole of the Town of Waterford....". I had been told that the 57th Reg't was from Loudoun but it took me a bit of searching to finally locate the 56th Reg't.- which is the one that my ancestor Nolan(d) HURDLE had served in during the War of 1812. Hope this helps someone, Susan McIntyre

Susan: I'm happy that you shared this with us, because I needed to know that each Militia might have had boundaries. I'm trying to learn if two men with names listed in the 1 REG'T (CONNELL'S) VIRGINIA MILITIA.; Namely, Owen OWEN and John RUNNALDS/Reynolds are one in the same as my direct ancestors. I did receive a great response from one list member who named the counties from which the Militia captains came. But, I'm still seeking confirmation that someone from Bedford County, Va could have been among them. By the way, I was unsubbed from the list..genearting too many email bounces..my system administrator says that the unsub was bogus...???
