genealogy site Fold3 is
making its collection of Service
Records of Volunteers, 1784-1811, free through Feb. 5, according to a post
on the site’s Facebook
page.

These images come from 32 rolls of NARA microfilm publication M905. Each soldier’s
“jacket” typically contains cards abstracting entries for the soldier in original
muster rolls, payrolls, receipt rolls, and other lists.
