When Teresa and I researched in the Haaptsstaatarchiv in Stuttgart, we found many examples of early extant military records. One such record was the “Gebühr und Zalungs Liste” for the months of September and October in 1800. It was a record of the fees and payments made to members of the Mousquetier Bataillon under General Major von Seeger.
The top of the page has the following column headings:
Underneath these headings are the names of soldiers with the relevant information in each column. Below are the translated column headings:
Captain Staff.
Nro. | Names. | Residence. | Officers’ Pay. | Wages and Small Subsistence Allowance | Meat Port. | Bread Port. | Remarks. | ||
|
|
| fl. | kr. | fl. | kr. |

11 | Johann Michael Völker | Wipfra, in Sachsen | -- | -- | 23. | 55. | 55. | 55. | From 1./5. 7ber [September] was sick in the hospital. |
fl. = Florin, kr. = Kreuzer
This one entry is an example of the information contained in the record. It provides the name, his residence, his pay for September and October 1800, along with the portions of meat and bread he received. It noted that he was sick in the hospital from the 1st to the 5th of September and his pay and portions were docked accordingly.
