This week I was finally able to get a copy of the War of 1812 service records for my 4-great-grandfather, Asa Manley. Since I've been bugging everyone with questions about him, I thought I would share with everyone that from 28 June 1812 until 28 July 1812 Asa served as a private in Capt. Elisha Camp's Company of Artillery Militia, in Lt. Col. Bellinger's regiment, Gen. Jacob Brown commanding. Asa participated in the First Battle of Sackets Harbor which took place on 19 July 1812, and in large part was won by his artillery unit, which was packing a 32 pound cannon. This find is especially exciting to me, because I grew up in the village of Sackets and my sister and I used to play around on the cannons in the Battlefield as a child. Also, coincidentally, Asa's commanding officer, Elisha Camp, owned the property on which my grandmother (Asa's great-great-granddaughter) met her husband more than 130 years later! They bought that property and raised a family there. The service papers for Asa indicate that his name appears on a "list" of men in that company. In the next few weeks I'll see if I can track down that list and transcribe the data pertaining to other members of Camp's Company. I am wondering if anyone can point me to sources where I can obtain more details about the Battle of Sackets Harbor that Asa participated in? Thanks! Mark A. Wentling Washington, D.C.
