These pay lists offer a good example of the desertions, absentees and general lack of enthusiasm for enrolling with the militia. Note how many men showed up once or twice for duty. The book, Plunder, Profit, and Paroles, A Social History of the War of 1812 in Upper Canada, George Sheppard, McGill, Queen's Univ. Press, 1994 gives an excellent account of the lack of support for the war by the farming settlers.
