Chris Jones shared this "draft information" with me and I wanted to pass it along. If you have ancestors living in the western frontier Georgia area around 1812 -- then it is a high probability that they may have been "drafted". All men were part of the local militia, but these "drafted" would have joined the ranks of militia. I know that Camp Hope near Ft. Hawkins was one gathering point for the men, and many of the regiments went on to Ft. Darien for actual duty. At that time these counties being on the western frontier, probably were sparsely populated thus the "new division" created. We're always trying to collect 1812 pension information and hope to get some rosters on-line. If you have found someone in the 1810 census, then definitely look at the possibility of militia service. ==================== According to the Dec. 9, 1812 Georgia Journal, a new division of Georgia Militia was formed including Randolph (now Jasper), Jones, Twiggs, Pulaski, Wilkinson, Laurens and Telfair Counties. General David Adams was elected Major General and Dr. Lee, Brigadier General of the lower brigade. Every sixth man was drafted, and this included John Dominy.
