Hi Susan,

I would love the address for Massachusetts. I just received my inquiry back that they could not find my gggg grandfather. He fought in the War of 1812 in the Massachusetts Militia. Thanks.

It should be noted that some soldiers served in State militia units which were never mustered into the service of the Continental, Federal, or Confederate Governments.
