Virginia Colonial Militia Hardbound Genealogy Book

Description

Virginia Colonial Militia,          1651-1776
Vol. II of the Virginia County Records          Series
Hardbound  volume totaling
144
pages. Book is in excellent  condition. Per the publisher;
It is owing to the indefatigable labors of William  Armstrong Crozier that we have one of the most exhaustive lists of colonial  soldiers ever published.
Virginia Colonial Militia
originally appeared as  Volume II of Crozier's famous series
Virginia County Records
but has  since earned a distinction that has set it apart. Certainly anyone looking for  colonial Virginia origins would do well to look here first.
The work is divided into several sections and includes (1)  Land Bounty Certificates for Service in the French and Indian War; (2) Military  Rosters in Hening's
Statutes at Large
; (3) Muster Rolls of Companies  Defending the Frontier in Lord Dunmore's War; (4) Partial List of Officers  Killed and Wounded at the Battle of Point Pleasant, Oct. 10, 1774; (5) Augusta  County Militia in 1742; (6) Miscellaneous County Rosters of Militia Officers;  (7) List of Officers and Soldiers of the Virginia Regiment Commanded by George  Washington; and (8) List of the Officers of the Colonial Militia of Spotsylvania  County, 1729-1780.
"Only those who have tried to find in the manuscript  sources items such as are presented in this volume can properly appreciate the  vast amount of information which has been brought together from unindexed  material and presented in this well-indexed volume. . ."--
