Militia Records This group of records of Officers returns, lists and a pay list are dated from Oct 1813 to June 1816. A number of the lists are very similar so have been combined with a few notes to indicate where they differ. List #3 below states that Asa Burnham died 10 March 1813. A number of promotions are evident during the period, especially between 1813 and 1816. Use these links to jump up and down this page.
