Oh, you are so welcome, and by the same token thank *you* for lack of information.The point was that when you write a query, particularly concerning persons with very common names, the reader should not have to try to do research in material you have already looked at, to figure out who you are talking about.
You could at least give the same information as to residence that you gave in your Campbell-surname message board post.
Since most militiamen did not see any active duty, and your question is genealogical rather than about the Revolutionary War, it is helpful to the reader when you supply whatever data you do have.
