1812 Muster Rolls- explanation of sources for previous message - list of Rhea
soldiers in 1812 War.

When the United States declared war on Great Britain in 1812, Congress
authorized the President to accept and organize volunteers in order to win
the war. This database is a listing of men mustered into the armed forces
between 1812 and 1815. Taken from records in the National Archives, each
record includes the soldier's name, company, rank at time of induction, rank
at time of discharge, and other helpful information. It provides the names of
nearly 600,000 men. For researchers of early American ancestors who may have
served in the military, this can be a helpful source of information.

Extended Description:
These records were taken from microfilm rolls RG94 and M602, a total of 234
rolls of film.
