I am researching an ancestor named Philip POLLARD who was born in approximately 1790. He lived in NC, and might also have lived at times in VA and SC. I found the following information for a Philip POLLARD on Ancestry.com in the War of 1812 Service Records Database. I have no idea whether or not it pertains to the same man I am researching. Name: Philip Pollard Company: Col. Ulmer's Regiment US Volunteers Rank Induction: Soldier Rank Discharge: Soldier Roll Box: 166 Roll Exct: 602 Does anyone know where Colonel Ulmer's Regiment was formed? I would like to know if it was in the correct area before I send for the records. If it is the correct area, would I need to write to the NARA for the service record? Ancestry recommends asking for the "Compiled Military Service Records". Any help or further information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Robyn Collins

Colonel George Ulmer and seven out of eight Captains in the US volunteers show up as being from Maine. There is also a Phillipps Pollard that shows in Maine in the 1830 census at the same time a Phillip Pollard shows in NC. in 1830. I don't see either on the census prior to 1830 going back to and including 1810. ----- Original Message ----- From: <RobCOLL224@aol.com> To: <WARof1812-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, May 25, 2003 7:17 PM Subject: Re: How to obtain War of 1812 info?
