Harrison Co. In Militia
Recently I inherited all of my fathers papers on our Ancesters. Amount the papers I found copies of pages out of “A book” It is in no way labled what book it came out of but appears to be a record of Indiana militiaorganization in Harrison Co. IN. I will copy itas it is written in hopes it helps others to find their anscestors too.
