Thanks for the suggestions as to where to look for these lists. The county order book contains the men nominated/sworn in as officers, too. The chap I am looking for was not one of them. I also looked at the on-line materials suggested, but drew a blank there as well. I also checked the claimants from the war of 1812, but again no luck. Again, thanks for the useful suggestions--Mick

These records are arranged by county, and thereunder chronologically, roughly from 1792/3 to the Civil War period, and perhaps beyond, not sure how late it contains recommendations. These names would list officers, and not enlisted ranks. The records are now being currently microfilmed and not available for use until completion. Occasionally, one finds a muster roll of men who volunteered for units, and some of these might be among the names in the Caroline County recommendations, but these are not all that frequent.
