War of 1812 Militia Accounts (PA) 1812-1827

About This Collection

General accounts of Deputy Quartermaster Frederick Foering and paymaster accounts of various companies, brigades, and regiments. Also present are documents relating to the paying of, or exoneration from, fines by members of the Pennsylvania Militia and a copy of a General Order of 12 May 1812 providing for the recruiting of a militia. In most cases the materials are dated and give only the militiaman's name and military unit, though in some cases the county and township of residence and the names of commanding officers also appear. Images are arranged by military unit. This collection is part of the Office of the Auditor General which audits the fiscal affairs for the Commonwealth.
