WESTMORELAND COUNTY [PENNSYLVANIA] IN THE AMERICAN REVOLUTIONPaul W. Myers Provides an extensive research aid for genealogists and military historians whose roots are found in Old Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania. Westmoreland County was the 11th county organized by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, separated from its parent county of Bedford on February 26, 1773. Westmoreland was the first transmontane county to be organized by Pennsylvania west of Laurel Hill, and included within its rather vague boundaries all of the present-day counties of Westmoreland, Fayette, Greene, Washington, and the southern portions of Beaver, Allegheny, Armstrong and Indiana. The Commonwealth of Virginia also claimed much of the area, and had established the rival counties of Ohio, Yohogania, and Monongalia. Alphabetical list of 2,400 known militia men along with varying bits of information about each; a listing of 3,300 frontier rangers; a roster of 684 Westmoreland County men who enlisted in the Eighth Regiment of the Pennsylvania Line... and more! Indexed when not included in alphabetical list. Book 1989, 8½x11, 263 pp
