Bob, did you try the Illinois State Archives web site? Go to http://www.sos.state.il.us/depts/archives/arc_home.html, click on "Search our online databases", and you will get a page which shows all the military databases (among others) they have, which includes the War of 1812. Clicking on that link will allow you to search for your ancestors by name.

At that site, the History of Montgomery county mentions that it was settled by many who served in the War of 1812. Is there a list of War of 1812 pensioners or land bounty petitioners? My Davis line appears to have arrived about this time. My research lines in Montgomery county are Davis, Holbrook, Caulk, Voyles. Thank you. Bob Drennan ==== ILMONTGO Mailing List ==== List problems?
