 | | This is a basic list of the colonial soldiers of Virginia known to have been engaged in active service, including names of those who participated in the French and Indian War, the Indian Wars, Lord Dunmores War, and various engagements and campaigns prior to the Revolution. |
 | | The list was drawn from company rolls, bounty applications, the Washington Papers in the Library of Congress, Henings Statutes at Large, and Journals of the House of Burgesses, and it is believed to represent a large proportion of the entire Virginia militia, particularly after the year 1754, when muster rolls were more carefully kept. |
 | | As a rule, each entry gives the name of the colonial ancestor, his dates of birth and death, the name of his wife, his colony of residence, and his occupation or service, all of which is absolutely crucial in any serious genealogical investigation. |
