Sandra & Nadine, thanks!

DAR form approved for Barnet RAPP on 18 February 1971:
Ancestor's Service:
"Barnet Rapp was a Private with Capt. Sam Roberts Company, Chester County,
Pa. Militia. 13 pieces of data returned with duplicate."
Also on the form underneath the service item:
"The said Barnet Rapp is the ancestor who assisted in establishing American
Independence, while acting in the capacity of Private, capt. Roberts Co.,
Chester County Pa., Militia." and "Vol 120 p 307-308 DAR Lineage Books" and
"Nat. No. 119992 - Add. 150"

Using the online search function for ARIAS, I have found this:

Inactive Duty Militia
Rapp, Barnet
Chester County, Battalion 4th, Company 7th, Class 4th
Authority: Appeal Book For 4 First Classes 1780
Date Apr. 19, 1781
Muster Fines $610
"Military Accounts: Militia," Records of the Comptroller General, RG-4

The other Rapp that I have a form for I also have information for. This is
the one I confess to not understanding at all. I'd love to make sense of
it, and if someone was able to provide 13 pieces of data to prove service,
then I'd like to research to get that data as well.

I'd no idea it could take so long to get this information, so thanks for the
heads up and the information on how to write for records.

Laurie
