Hi, I don't suppose anyone could kindly explain Militia Records to me could they? I managed to finally get the record of a distant uncle which says: These are to certify, That Rob Phillips. was Enrolled the second Day of March. 1792. a Subtitute for **** ********.
I've blocked the other person's name as I'm not related to them as far as I know, Robert did have a young son with no known mother so perhaps this guy is related to the mother somehow. Anyway, why are substitutes used as I'm not familiar with militia records at all and in all honesty the only comparison I can think of in this case is an animated film.
I know the time period of 1801 when this was eventually accepted would have been Napoleon but I've not had much luck in searches.
