Greetings - The Library of Virginia's __War of 1812 Pay Rolls &
Muster Rolls__ is now available as a fully searchable database
via the Digital Collections home page or directly at:
http:\\eagle.vsla.edu\war1812\

Previously, this heavily used index was only available as part of
the LVA's Electronic Card Indexes.

The War of 1812 database indexes approximately 40,000 names appearing in
__Pay Rolls of Militia Entitled to Land Bounty Under the Act of Congress
of Sept. 28, 1850__ (Richmond, 1851) and __Muster Rolls of the Virginia
Militia in the War of 1812__ (Richmond, 1852) which supplements Pay Rolls.

The supplement contains the Companies and parts of Companies which were
omitted in the Pay Rolls. Both volumes were copied from rolls in the
office of the Auditor of Public Accounts in Richmond.

Stay tuned for announcements of the availability of many more new
Digital Library resources!

Got this from the Virginia List
