Transcripts of Documents of the 3rd Regiment of York Militia During the War of 1812 With a Microfilm Index Taken from Library and Archives Canada Reference: RG9, Militia and Defence, Series 1-B-7 Volumes 1, 16-19 From Digital Microfilms On Line at http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/microform-digitization/006003-110.02- e.php?&q2=35&interval=50&sk=0&&PHPSESSID=v7eqsqq9pelq09h71e9obolmhm7en a182piflfvomaujktigni51 Transcribed by Fred Blair Copyright March 3, 2019 Introduction These documents were transcribed here in order by the date of each pay period or muster roll. The microfilm documents were not in this order. There were multiple copies of some documents and those usually included some changes. The transcribers comments appear in square brackets. A number of these payrolls include detachments in which the 3rd York men served with the 1st York and 1st Durham men. Note that there were variations in the spelling of the men's names. Some men served in more than one company during the war and some were transferred between regiments and corps. It was difficult to ascertain which of the men in the mixed detachments were from the 3rd York Militia. The transcriber has identified as many as possible in each set of Remarks, based upon the same names having been found in other 3rd York companies and detachments. The 3rd York men were present at the Capture of Fort Detroit, the Battle of Queenston Heights, and the Capture of York. Captains Heward and Cameron commanded flank companies at Queenston. For a number of reasons, those payrolls were not found in this collection. The muster area of the 3rd York included the townships north and east of the Town of York. The 1st York Militia mustered from the town and the 2nd York Militia mustered from the townships to the west. This set of documents included muster rolls, pay lists, pay adjustments, officer's property tax on pay, killed and disabled lists, officer's commission and promotion dates, retired officer lists, and returns of men and ordnance. As well as routine militia serve, from the document titles and remarks, men were absent with and without leave, deceased, detained by sickness, deserters, disabled, http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/microform-digitization/006003-110.02-e.php?&q2=35&interval=50&sk=0&&PHPSESSID=v7eqsqq9pelq09h71e9obolmhm7ena182piflfvomaujktigni51 http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/microform-digitization/006003-110.02-e.php?&q2=35&interval=50&sk=0&&PHPSESSID=v7eqsqq9pelq09h71e9obolmhm7ena182piflfvomaujktigni51 http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/microform-digitization/006003-110.02-e.php?&q2=35&interval=50&sk=0&&PHPSESSID=v7eqsqq9pelq09h71e9obolmhm7ena182piflfvomaujktigni51
