Hi Casey Researchers, I am trying to find your answer, there was an War of 1812 unit that came from that area or region. I have the information on the numerical designation, but can't find it right now. Also, there is a book, Kentucky & the Second American Revolution: The War of 1812 (Lexington, KY., 1976) Might want to try your library. It is probably out of print, however it can still be ordered. Kentucky furnished 25,705 regulars, militia and volunteers to the war of 1812 which was equivalent to four of every six males eligible in the state and this was pointed out as a model of patriotism. Moreover, unlike states that required large numbers of troops to garrison coastal defense and other forts, nearly all Kentucky troops campaigned actively against the enemy, suffering in consequence more deaths in battle than all other states combined. Their efforts and sacrifices made possible the expulsion of he British from the upper Northwest and aided in the defense of New Orleans.
