Hi, everyone has been so nice trying to find information on my Benjamin Kitchens maybe I can do this for you, hope it helps. Benjamin's War of 1812 records show that he was listed as a fifer in Wooten's Detachment of Capt. John G. Smith's company of infantry, detached regiment of Malitia. Arrived at Ft. Hawkins DEC 9.1814. Service expired on Feb. 7, 1815 38 miles from FT Hawkins to his residence, 2 days traveling times to his residence time of service charged one month 30 days 18 cents for rations, nine dollars per months, 36 cents substance total of 18.06. He lived in Millidgeville at the time. So I have no idea what his travel mode was, but I hope a horse, so what do you thing 18 miles per day?:? Hawkinsville is now in Johnson CO. Thank everyone for all your help, this is a great list! Gwen and Al Kitchens
Milledgeville is Baldwin County, not too far from Macon, Ga., Hawkinsville is not to far from Houston County, Ga., it has the female prison for Ga. Milledgeville back then was known more for the state hospital, although it was also the capitol at one time (or was going to be the capitol) and has a mlitary school. ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, October 06, 2006 9:14 PM Subject: [GEORGIA] Travel Time | Hi, everyone has been so nice trying to find information on my | Benjamin Kitchens maybe I can do this for you, hope it helps. | | Benjamin's War of 1812 records show that he was listed as a fifer in Wooten's | Detachment of Capt.
