Re: Paul myrick and 17 other men are listed in vinalhaven Maine brief historical sketch as being in war of 1812. However only one man in that list is on the Maine records for the war. I want to find his birthdate.
1 of 1 people found this helpfulCan you supply the other 17 names so that they can be checked against available indices? What set of "Maine Records for the war" was consulted and what did it say?
Typicaly, War of 1812 service records do not record age or birthdate; with rare exception. Age, but not birthdate, can often be found in a Bounty Land Warrant application case-file or in a pension case-file. All troops that served in 1812 from the state of Maine, served under Massachusetts designated units. There is no one named Paul Myrick. Additionally there isn't a completed Bounty Land Warant application, or pension, under that name.

Thank you for your time.
This is the page I was referring to:
I went to Maine gov. war of 1812 list of men and only 2 of the seventeen men at the bottom of the page were on the Maine list:
Lemuel Thayer had Vinalhaven after his name and the other guy was from York so I don't think he counts.
What does this mean?
Mary
According to Vinalhaven Vital Records Paul is listed as Myrick, Marreck, Mirick, & Merrick,
