PAY ROLL of a Company of Pennsylvania Riflemen commanded by
Captain IRWIN HORRELL of the   Regiment of the Pennsylvania
Militia in the service of the United States, for the months of
November and December, 1814.

The following information was copied by Kathleen Molnar Brown,
Ph.D. on August 16th, 1997 at the Research Room in the National
Archives, Washington, D.C. Two copies each exist of the Muster
Roll and Pay Roll for Capt. Irwin Horrell's Company.

The Commencement of Service of this Company began on November
21st, 1814. Expiration of Service was December 4th, 1815. All
Company members were payed for a service period of 14 days. In
addition to service pay based on rank and duration of service,
the company members were payed additional  return mileage,
travelling from Statler's Tavern to Laughlinstown, Penna, a
distance of 50 miles or 2 and a half days.

According to the Muster Roll, the company was inducted at Reed's
Tavern in the Ligonier Valley and discharged at Statler's Tavern,
Alleghany Mountain.

Place of residence for all company members was listed as
Laughlintown, Westmoreland County, PA.

At one time, a researcher placed marks next to the names of
certain company members. I suspect that these are individuals for
whom a pension or bounty land warrant application exist. These
individuals are identified by [R] next to their names.

The following is the list of company members, followed by their
rank, pay per month, amount of pay, amount of travel allowance,
and total amount payed out to each member.
