No Trammell grave sites but, in book no 2, talking about the War of 1812, it says this: The second war with Britain, declared on June 18-1812, intensified military activity in this area of Illinois Territory. Many expected trouble from the Indians, especially around the salt works and in the outlying areas. Several militia companies were recruited and trained in S.E. Illinois. Thomas E. Craig, a Shawneetown businessman, captained one of 67 men. After Leonard White was promoted, Phillp Tramell replaced him as captain of a company. Other captains were James Trousdale and Willis Hargrave. Some of these companies were mounted. Fred Buck was among the many names on these rosters familiar to our area. William Ellis was among those drafted the next year. He applied for veterans benefits in 1971, 1isting his home as Hickory Hi11, in Wayne County, Ill., his age as 80 yrs. He stated that he was drafted about Apr. lst 1813, for the purpose of guarding the frontier settlements againat the depredations of the Indians, serving in Capt. Barkers company, in Col. Tramell's regiment and in Gen. Hargraves brigade. ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, December 10, 1999 5:07 PM Subject: Re: [ILGALLAT] QExpress for Gallatin Co., Illinois ( INMAN LAFFERTY) > Dave : > Any Trammells or Boartrights or Williams or Morris's in that Book?
