Regarding Caroline County militia lists:

Among the militia commission papers in Record Group 3 in the Library of 
Virginia are names of officers nominated by county courts for militia 
appointments. 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.

Does anyone know of any militia lists for Caroline County between 1815 and 
1820? Any suggestions as to where to look?--Thanks--Mick
