Description:
Since the first settlers landed in Jamestown in 1607, Virginia was largely a
military colony and remained such for many years. This database is a listing
of men who served in the colonial militia from those early years as a mere
settlement up until the early 1770s. It was compiled in 1913 from sources
available to the author in the Virginia State Library. Researchers will find
the name of soldier and the reference in the original work where the record
was found. Containing the names of over 6000 men, it can be an extremely
helpful resource for those seeking colonial Virginia ancestors.
