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.
