I made the mistake of not reading all of it. http://www.lva.lib.va.us/whatwehave/mil/rn8_varev.htm This is only part of that page: The National Archives in Washington, D.C. holds many records of Continental Line service by Virginians and soldiers from other states. These are fully indexed in Index to Revolutionary War Service Records (Waynesboro: National Genealogical Publishing Co., 1995, 4 vols.). The Library of Virginia holds some of these records on microfilm. The most important are the Compiled Service Records of Virginia Soldiers Who Served in the American Army During the Revolutionary War, 192 reels, NARA Revolutionary War Service Records Index, 58 reels, and Revolutionary War Rolls, 1775–1783, 138 reels. The records typically may show enlistment, muster, pay, furlough, discharge, capture, sickness and death. They seldom contain personal or genealogical data. It should be noted that these reels in the collection are only for reference use. Requests for copies should be directed to the National Archives and Records Administration, Washington, D.C. 20408 Richard Williamson Tucson, AZ http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~williamsondnaproject/INDEX.htm
