I think every man who served in the War of 1812 from Kentucky was there. There were a few from TN and OH. My Nathaniel Ducker served in Beverly Allen's 1st Rifle Regiment, Capt. John Simpson's Company, Kentucky Volunteers. When I got his War records, it was very small (everyone's record seems to be different) with only a company muster, a company pay, and a 2nd muster. The 2nd one was March 29, 1813. There was a heading on this sheet saying "List of persons taken prisoner at the River Raisin on the 22nd Jan'y 1813 with the time of the expiration of their service." Their enlistments were only for a couple months. Would you believe, after going through hell, he re-enlisted. This time he was in James Simrall's 9th Mounted Regiment, Capt. Samuel Harbison's Co., Kentucky Volunteer Militia. Then he re-enlisted a 3rd time! This time he was in Maj. Peter Dudley's Mounted Battalion, Capt. Isaac Watkins' Company, Kentucky Volunteer Militia. In that one on the company muster sheet it said, "Detroit November 20, 1814." Place of residence was Shelbyville, KY (where he enlisted), place of rendezvous was Urbana, Illinois (where he met up with his regiment), Discharged Nov. 20, 1814 Fort Detroit. To find out if your ancestor was among them (probably was, and survived), your library should have a book on men who served in the War of 1812. If it doesn't, it can inter-library borrow one for you.

There is no list. The British commander, General Hull, decided he didn't want to pay ransom for the captives. But a private citizen said he would, and he did until Gen. Hull found out and tried to stop him. The citizen (forget his name) had a clerk who only kept track on a blotter, and that was then thrown out. If you have an ancestor who went through it, then he was a survivor. The way to find out is to get his War of 1812 records and see who he served under. Or you could contact your library for a book (don't remember author) listing everyone who served in the War of 1812, and who they served under. It was a gradual process for me. First I learned which regiment he was in, then looked up the movements of that regiment. Then I got his War of 1812 records that said he was captured. I think your local library (if you're in KY) has a book on Kentuckians in the War of 1812. If not, they can interlibrary borrow it for you. And/or they can get the book listing everyone in the war everywhere ~ about 1-1/2" thick. Good luck.

There is a drama or story that could be made of that one.

Thank you for all your research and time. If you are interested in what I have found on the Ducker family, go to www.rootsweb.com. Search for "Anna America" first name and "Ducker" last name. Then work back in time. You will be most interested in her father who fought in the War of 1812 near Fort Detroit and Canada. He was extraordinarily heroic. Most of the 600 Kentuckians were slaughtered in an Indian massachre there. Some were tortured to death by roasting them near (not on) a fire for hours and hours until finally death. The few who were found alive were turned in at Fort Detroit by the Indians to the British for ransom money. Those who couldn't walk there were killed. I've been to the Detroit Public Library that houses many of the documents of that massachre, including first-hand reports of men who survived, and the daily journal of Gen'l Winchester's trip from KY to Detroit that winter. John Nathaniel Ducker III, b. 1789, d. Pendleton 1859, was one of the survivors. This was called the Battle of River Raisin. The Kentuckians who fell in and survived that battle are honored in Monroe, MI, every February. I went to one of their outdoor ceremonies, tho it was freezing outside. The battle field today is a little league baseball field on the banks of the River Raisin. I've gone by there in the summer a few times. As I watch the little boys play, I think that it is a good tribute to and reminder of the freedom that those men fought for that day. And I think of the blood that lies beneath their feet. The price of freedom to play baseball. I have details on this in my database at rootsweb. My database name (right column) is 1940ducker. I have detailed chronologies of the lives of this Ducker line in that database. All sources are listed if I knew them, and websites are cited for the reader to learn more. The oldest Ducker I know of who went to Pendleton Co. was Nathaniel I (the first) who was born 1729 in Maryland.

Falmouth Outlook Friday 29 June 1923 Vol. 17 No. 4 Pg. 1 Col. 1 FATAL SHOOTING IN BRACKEN PARIS HAMILTON SHOT BY ED NEAVE, FOLLOWING ALTERCATION AT NEAVE HOME MONDAY NIGHT CHARGE ENTERS VITALS Trouble recalls killing of Nim Showalter at Brooksville several years ago. A fatal shooting took place, Monday night about 8:00 o'clock, at Neave, Bracken county, a small village about ten miles northeast of Falmouth. Ed Neave shot Paris Hamilton in the stomach and chest with a shot-gun. It is stated that Hamilton can not recover, as the entire charge of shot penetrated his vital organs, and his death is only a matter of a few hours. The trouble arose over Hamilton's attention to Neave's sister, which the family strongly objected to. Hamilton came to the Neave home early in the evening and was ordered away. He left in a peaceable man ner, but returned about 8:00 and stopped his machine in front of the Neave home. He called the young lady out to his machine and they engaged in conversation for a few minutes. Edward Neave called his sister into the house. This enraged Hamilton and he got out of the car and started toward the house. He was warned not to come in. In the meantime young Neave had procured a shot-gun and was standing in the yard, and as Hamilton approached he leveled the weapon and fired at a distance of about thirty feet. Hamilton fell, mortally wounded. Hamilton was removed to his home near Brooksville, and physicians who attended him state that recovery is impossible. Immediately after the shooting young Neave called Sheriff Moore of Bracken County, informing him that he had shot Hamilton, and surrendered himself to the authorities. The officers went to the Neave home and took him to Brooksville, where he was given a preliminary hearing and released on $1,500 bond on a charge of shooting to kill. Ed Neave is a son of Joe Neave, and is a young man who has never been in any kind of trouble. The citizens of that community are in sympathy with the family over the sad tragedy. Paris Hamilton is well-known in Bracken County and has a bad cri minal record. About eight years ago he shot and killed Nim Showalter, city marshall of Brooksville, when the officer attempted to arrest him. This crime was one of the blackest ever committed in Brooksville, and attracted State-wide attention. Hamilton was tried and given a light sentence in the penitentiary, and in a few months was back home. Since his return to Brooksville he has caused the authorities more or less trouble. He figured in a drunken melee in that city about two years ago, in which a man by the name of Flanigan was mysteriously killed. Hamilton was known as a desperate characters and was greatly feared. It is said that the Neave family is related by marriage to Nim Showalter, who was killed by Hamilton. We are also informed that Hamilton is distantly related to the Neave family.

Here is another message from Kitty who is trying to uncover the Ducker tombstones. I just cannot figure out who this Ducker was b. 1766. All I can think of is that, if the dates I got from the Pendleton library while visiting there a few years ago came from a family Bible, sometimes DOB are from memory by whoever fills in the dates retroactively, and not always remembered completely accurately. Does anyone on this list live in Pendleton Co.?

I am passing on to you a finding of a Ducker Cemetery in Pendleton Co. She found a tombstone while taking some Webelos on a hike. She's been back several times trying to uncover other graves. Seems like some people in Pendleton Co. would like to take some interest in this. I live in Canada; she found me on the internet.

Falmouth Outlook Friday 22 June 1923 Vol. 17 No. 3 Pg. 3 Col. 4 LETTER FROM CALIFORNIA The following letter is from Louis A. Woolery, formerly of the Outlook Staff, but now of the San Diego (Calif.) Sun. Mr. Woolery went to California last fall, and he had made quite a success there. "Well I got to thinking the other day about whether I answered your letter or not, and couldn't remember doing so, so I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and write anyway. I wrote very few letters at home and since coming here I have been writing so durned many I forget who I write to and hence get all bawled up on my correspondence. Saturday morning at 4:00 a.m. "Speed", one of the Sun Boys and I left in his ford for Imperial Valley, the city of Mexicali, Mexico, being our objective. We had heard many tales about this wonderful val ley that was reclaimed out of the hottest, most barren desert in California by irrigation from the Colorado River. The whole valley is below sea level, the temperature ranging from 100 to 140 in winter and summer. It is about 110 now. Mexicali is 140 miles from San Diego. All but about forty miles of this is concrete road, and the forty miles is a fairly good dirt road. We made good time all the way there and back, it taking about six hours each way. About 80 miles of the distance is used in crossing the range of mountains which extend on into Mexico and S.A. But the roads are fine and the grades long and gradual so the old Henry walked right through them on high, except when we slacked up on a grade to watch a wild deer. He (or maybe it was she) was about two feet tall and was sure breaking some speed records and all the hurdling records navigating over the tops of the shrubs that covered the mountain side. We also saw about 9,817,354 jack rabbits more or less. Of course, starting out so early it was pretty chilly and we had on our sweaters, mackinaws and heavy coats, etc. until we reached the steep grade that led off the range down into the valley, a drop of over 6,000 feet in about five miles. About half way down we began to feel the warm wind from the desert and before we got down we had shed everything except our shirts and still we were sweating and the air was so hot it was difficult to breathe till we got used to it. In winter you can be sweating in your shirt sleeves down in the valley and in 15 or 20 min utes go out on this range and throw snowballs. The first town of any size in the valley was El Centro, population 15,000. It is pretty classy little burg, and does a world of business, as it is the metropolis of this big valley, which, since the introduction of irrigation, has become a regular gold mine. We looked the town over, taking pictures, one of them being the Hotel Barbara Worth, which was named after the novel of that name, this calling being the location of the incidents pictured in that book. It's as modern and big as the phoenix in Lexington -- also about the same rates. In summer, the guests strip off and lie down on top of the bed, leaving the door open. Along in the morning before daylight a porter goes around and closes all the doors. They have to do this because it is so hot the people can't sleep. Some of the hotels and apartment houses have no side walls at all, just hang big curtains or tarpaulins over the side of the house like a window blind. After dark these are rolled up leaving the sleepers exposed to the night air, the owls and other nocturnal animals. The people never wear coats except on dress occasions, the principal garb being some of those South African soup bowl hats, a thing white shirt and trousers. I wont' attempt to describe what little the girls wear; it's to insignificant a matter to worry over anyhow. You can name every article she wears even if your eyes are half closed to keep out the blinding glare of the sun. After eating dinner here we moved to Calexico-Mexicali. These two cities are really one, but separated by the international border -- a wire fence. Calexico is in the U.S., Mexicali is in Mexico. Nearly every person you meet is either a Mexican or a Jap or Chink. There are any number of saloons, gambling dens and dope houses. A fire recently burned out two or three blocks in the Chink quarter, and you can look down in the basement of the ruins and see heaps of partly burned clothing, bed posts, and could smell the beautiful (?) aroma of delicious roasted Chinks -- about 75 of them. This is beyond doubt the rottenest hole on earth. The town hasn't had the benefit of American-run property like Tijuana, hence the buildings are made of adobe, and are dirty, evil-smelling and about to fall down - typical Mexican and Jap looking. The streets are crowded with dirty, hairy-faced wild-looking Greasers and dopey Chinks, with about 42,538 ignorant-looking kids running around between their legs. We got tired of looking at all this in about an hour, so we decided to go back to Calexico and sit down in our machine until it got cooler and things livened up a bit. It was so hot the people were moping around half dead, the stores were deserted and business in general was taking a siesta with the Mexicans. We soon caught the spirit and were sound asleep, parked right out in the main street of town! We dozed away peacefully for over an hour, then woke up and decided we would give Mexicali another once-over before we left to see is we had missed anything. Our return trip was without any special excitement, and we arrived in San Diego about 11 o'clock, too durned tired to say goodnight. The other night I met Geo. Ross out at the Point Loma golf club house. They have a fine cabaret out there, fine eats and fine music. The dance hall is a little small, especially for my superdrednaughts. George has a five year old son now. He looks a lot thinner that before he married, and I hardly recognized him at first. He didn't recognize me at all until I told him who I was. I recently acquired a valuable accessory -- a Ford coupe. I haven't got it all fixed up with extras yet, but will probably get it Monday. I'm going to start an innovation in auto accessories by having it upholstered with teddy bear fuzz -- like the muscle coats the tiny pebble with pearl.

Falmouth Outlook Friday 18 May 1923 Vol. 16 No. 50 Pg. 1 Col. 6 A STATEMENT Mr. J. N. Riddel, of Robinson Station, comes back at us. He says he did not hit car. Editor Outlook: -- I wish to correct the unfair and erroneous statement in last week's Outlook, in which you make it appear that I hit Mr. Boone Wright's machine, turning it over, etc. The fact is, I hit no machine and knew nothing of the accident until I read it in the Outlook. It certainly must have been a case of mistaken identity. Just why such a report should be given out and given any credence at all is certainly beyond anything I can fathom. Had I hit Mr. Wright's car or any other I would have stopped and rendered such assistance as might have been necessary, pecuniary or otherwise. Again, had I hit another car, don't you suppose my car would have been more or less damaged? As the matter stands, there isn't a bruise of any kind upon my little Ford. Of course I am sorry that Mr. Wright was injured and sorry to learn of the accident. But those who know Jim Riddell know that he never runs from nor deserts one in trouble. I am not built that way. If I had hit Mr. Wright's car, I would have known it and would have stopped at once to render what help I could.

Then my wife had a son, so my mother-in-law, the step sister of my son, is alsohis grandmother, because his step-sister is my wife; I am the brother ofmy own son, who is also the son of my step-grandmother.I am my mother's brother in law; my wife is her own child's aunt; my son is my father's nephew, and I am my own grandfather.

Falmouth Outlook Friday 11 May 1923 Vol. 16 No. 48 Pg. 7 Col. 3 AN OLD LETTER Recently in looking over some papers and books, Capt. Joseph R. Moore, who was a member of the 24th Indiana Volunteers during the Civil War, found the following letter in an old and unused book. We are not saying what kind of book (unused) is was. Probably some of our readers can guess. The letter was written by Fred Butler, a member of that regiment to Henry Comingore, at that time editor of the American Eagle, in Paoli, Ind. Fred Butler had worked in that office prior to the war as a printer. It will be noticed that among others, the letter states that he was wounded in the thigh in the battle. He died later from the effects of the wound. Capt. Moore is unable to state how he came in possession of the letter, long ago forgotten. but is was probable that it came into his possession about the time it was written, and never reached the party for which it was intended. The letter is as follows: Big Black River Rear of Vicksburg 12 miles May 20, 1863 Friend Comingore; I have about ten minutes to drop you a few lines. We were in a hard fought battle on the 16th inst. at Champion Hill. Capt. Wellman, killed; W.G. Davis, killed; E. F. Butler wounded in thigh; I. N. Breeden, in head (badly); Cor. Wm. L. Hammond, in both legs (badly); E. J. Witsman, in right thigh (badly); M. Charles, in right knee (very badly), leg not yet amputated, maybe he will save his leg; W. Glicks, left arm off, also shot in left breast and right hand (badly); H. C.

Falmouth Outlook Friday 20 Apr 1923 Vol. 16 No. 46 Pg. 1 Col. 3 George Henry Nunnamaker b. Indiana 25 November 1842. Spent 50 years in Pendleton Co. He was an ex-Confederate soldier and served throughout the Civil War on the side of the lost cause. Mr. Nunnamaker was entitled to a State pension, but would not accept one believing that a man should earn his own living. He carried three silver dollars for forty years, with the intention of making his three daughters a present of them when he died, and this request was complied with on the day of his funeral. During the Civil War he was in the secret service of the Confederacy. He comes from fighting stock, his grandfather having fought in the War of 1812 and the Blackhawk war in 1831-32. Mr. Nunnamaker was a great admirer of Woodrow Wilson, and believed him to be the greatest man this county has ever produced. He d. 13 Apr 1923 near McKinneysburg in Pendleton Co. and was buried at Short Creek. Falmouth Outlook Friday 20 Apr 1923 Vol. 16 No. 46 Pg. 8 Col. 3 Kelat News Items The wedding of Miss Fannie Mae Carr and Mr. Forest E. King at the beautiful country home of Mr. & Mrs. Chas. Hicks, last Sunday, April 15, 1923, at 2:30 p.m. marked one of the most important social events of this locality in many months. Miss Fannie Mae Carr, the only daughter of Mrs. Minnie Carr, has been a popular member of the younger set, and the fact that her marriage is taking her away from home and friends makes it a source of the deepest regret. The home of the bride's uncle was prettily decorated with flowers of the season, adding to the brightness and eventuality of the occasion, at the same time lending warmth and smiles the "weather man" failed to supply, the day being cool, damp, and slushy, following a cold eastern rain. But the hearts of the twain, as Rev. J.E. Roberts, pastor of the M.E. church South, at this place, pronounced them man and wife, were full of warmth and happiness. The bride was attended by Miss Julia Mildred Light, a most lovely young lady and daughter of Hon. Martin Light, Pendleton County as maid of honor, and Mr. Hansford McGladdery, Sunrise, KY serving as bestman. Miss Fannie Mae made a picture not easily forgotten, as she stood in all her purity and innocence before a large concourse of witnesses, dressed becomingly in a traveling suit, artistically draped suitable for the occasion, as she stood solemnly taking upon herself the marriage vows. Bride's roses and lilies of the valley went to make up her shower bouquet. Miss Light, the maid of honor, wore a frock of two toned orchid taffeta combined with appropriate colors. She carried a shower bouquet of pink roses, and was as lovely and beautiful as the bouquet she carried. Thus the fates and fortunes of this young couple as they plighted their troth and stepped out into the world were blended into one bright, happy future, possibly remembering that life is as they make it. The groom is the only son of Mr. & Mrs. Will King, of near Havilandsville, KY, and is a young man of excellent character, an honor to his parents and worthy therefore of the lovely girl he had taken into his heart. Mr. & Mrs. Forest King left as soon as practicable after the nuptials for a brief bridal tour to the Queen City, and other points north, amid handshakes, good-byes, old shoes and lots of rice, many hearty, good wishes being extended them. May their honeymoon continue through life is the writers wish. Those attending from a distance were Mr. & Mrs. John Asbury of near Lexington; Mr. & Mrs. Harry Asbury and family of Indiana; Mr. & Mrs. Jake Hick, Mr. & Mrs. Lester Norris and Mr.& Mrs. Hershel Carr and baby, of Cynthiana; Mr. & Mrs. Thomas Roberts of Falmouth. Many others from a distance were there whose names we failed to secure. Mrs. Hershel Carr played the wedding march. There were lots of presents received. ============================== Items of interest to: Doug Harper Biloxi, MS
