An Abbye Ayers Faurot sent me an e-mail about John Ayers, but apparently, I did not keep her address and don't remember which list she was on. I found this information which might interest her: A John Airs is listed the the First Regiment, Ninth Company, Detached from the Washington Regiment in the muster rolls of the War of 1812 detached from The Militia of North Carolina. William R. Navey, copied and indexed, MUSTER ROLLS, SOLDIERS OF THE WAR OF 1812 DETACHED FROM THE MILITIA OF NORTH CAROLINIA, 1812 AND 1814, PUBLISHED IN PURSUANCE OF THE RESOLUTIONS OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF JANUARY 28, 1851 AND THE RESOLUTION OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF FEBRUARY 19, 1871.
