OH-OH! looks like I was wrong, but 1796 to 1812 would make him 16...Guess it could be... While we were in Macon last month, I found a Register of the GA Militia, which had several on it, including Abraham, Felix, and Cornelius. I copied it, but did not bring it to WA with me...When I go back home at Christmas, I will get it and try to make a scan available on the Web...
