Yes there was. It is what is now known as the War of 1812 Cemetery in Cheektowaga. The location of the hospital and the cemetery didn't change, only the name of the village where they were located--or at least the boundaries. The following is from a Buffalo Evening News article of Oct. 2, 1975 that might explain the above: The cemetery is the last visible evidence of the American Army quarters that once stood between Main St. and Ellilcott Creek in Williamsville--and gave Garrison Rd. its name. In the winter of 1813-1814, American soldiers were quartered in a string of log cabins at the site. On Aug. 1, 1814, the Williamsville barracks were designated as a general hospital and wounded soldiers of both sides were transfered there from an Army hospital in Lewiston by wagon. Six patients were kept in each cabin. Note: I haven't a shred of information regarding the existence of a hospital in Lewiston, Niagara Co. As a last-ditch effort to find a burial record for him, write to the Buffalo and Erie County Historical Society, 25 Nottingham Court, Buffalo, NY 14216 (716-873-9644). If any society would have it, they would. Good luck. vee
