Partial Michigan-Wisconsin BHW Rosters

[grfrakes]

The following are names of men who served in the Michigan (Territory) Militia during the Black Hawk War, some of this territory later became Wisconsin. These names were extracted from Bureau of Land Management, General Land Office Records and should be construed as incomplete in nature as I have not viewed every name in the entire database of many thousands of men applying for land based upon their respective service in many different Wars and Campaigns. It must be understood that not every veteran of this war filed for land and this information is from the state of Wisconsin. Generally the enlisted man's record indicated only the last name of his Captain. I then looked up that name with the same rank, which often provided a first name. This information may have some errors as names are hard to read and I may have misspelled them so please visit the source and make your own decisions. The number after the name is the warrant or document number and then the land office of issue. This information can then be used to find this soldier. The states with military warrants that are currently included in this data base are Al., Ar., Fl., Ia., In., Il., La., Mi., Mn., Ms., Mo., Oh. and Wi. www.glorecords.blm.gov
