At $3.00 it was too good to pass up even if it is the only volume of the set on my bookshelf. If you have an ancestor who fits between Sacrey and Tyree let me know and I will check the index for his/her records and give you the information. The index is an everyname index, so there is often info on a person not fitting within the S-T range there. ... I recently found John Sturm, Peter Sturm and Jacob Sturm, probably three brothers in records in Maryland for service about 1754. I've wonder if they receive more than their pay for days of service in what I take to be the French & Indian Wars. At least two of them seem to have migrated into (and stayed at least a while) in WV. It might be there. There was a Peter Bruner (probably a brother-in-law on the same page) and descendants, if not he seem to have reached WV. I believe that was Vol. 9 of a Maryland History & Genealogical Society publ. -- a transcript of about a year and a half of records of pay to soldiers and citizens. Anyone with ancestors that arrived by 1750 and lived for a while in the Frederick County, Md area might want to check that item. I believe it is now in the Broderbund on-line library. Nick
