Family Archive CD #121
Virginia was the stage for some of the most momentous events in American
military history. In fact, American military history began with the
establishment of the Virginia militia in the seventeenth century, and Virginia's
achievements in the various theaters of war can be traced in a straight line to
the decisive Battle of Yorktown more than a century later. Immediately after the
Revolution, and both during and after the War of 1812, Virginia continued its
historic contributions in men and materiel, culminating, of course, in the great
battles of the Civil War. So enormous was Virginia's contribution in manpower,
in fact, that a record of early Virginia soldiers is nothing less than a
directory of Virginia's early residents!
This Family Archive CD contains a definitive collection of books dealing with
the military records of Virginia in the colonial wars, the Revolutionary War,
and the War of 1812, all published originally by the Genealogical Publishing
Company. For persons interested in tracing the descendants of Virginia soldiers
and who wish to understand the magnitude of Virginia's contribution to the
American cause, this CD is invaluable. Naming 275,000 members of the militia and
the established army, all of whom can be instantly traced by means of a single
electronic index, this CD is one of the most powerful and versatile tools in the
entire arsenal of early American genealogical research.
The books included on this CD are the undisputed favorites in their
respective fields, and collectively they provide an unparalleled body of
genealogical research materials. From Lloyd Bockstruck's Virginia Colonial
Soldiers to John Gwathmey's Historical Register of Virginians in the
Revolution to the monumental Muster Rolls and Payrolls of Virginia
Militia in the War of 1812, they cover the entire spectrum of Virginia's
early military history. Based primarily on original record sources such as
muster rolls, payrolls, bounty land warrants, and pension applications, it is
possible to follow a soldier's entire military career from the date and place of
his enlistment, to the battles and skirmishes he was engaged in, to his
mustering out, while also gleaning details regarding his age, place of birth,
place of residence, occupation, marital status, rank, bounty land awards, and
names of spouse and children. The following is a list of the books included on
