Wallace Fencibles

12 photocopied pages from UK National Archives.

Transcription made December 23, 2006 by Amy Seyfried

The index info is as follows:

WO 13/3961

Militia and Volunteers Muster Books and Pay Lists

FENCIBLE INFANTRY

Wallace

Covering dates 1798 – 1800

The stamp on each page is the same: Ref. No. 1313961 – C283095

Unfortunately I don’t yet see any year dates on the pages, nor page numbers. I cannot

tell if the pages were sent to me in sequence. The pages are approximately 11 by 17

inches and appear to cover two ledger pages. On an open, two-page spread, the left

pages start with the number 13. I am guessing other pages exist and the Archives only

sent me the ones they deemed pertinent to my request (information about William

Pender, who would later join in 1804 what would become the 100^th Regiment of Foot).

I’ve sent away for an estimate on obtaining the full set of records and hope to unravel

the mysteries presented by the following data sets.

Amy – 6 January 2007

first set of data below. Some sort of enlistment reference, perhaps? I may be

able to find out when I get the rest of the records.]
