Ann, I looked through all the 1812 Grave registration cards (copied from the originals at the Jefferson County Courthouse) and there was no James FRANCIS listed as buried in Jefferson County. So, that can mean one of several things other than the fact that he was not in the 1812 or buried in Jefferson County... The LDS this past summer microfilmed the war registration ledgers at the courthouse. You may want to check www.familysearch.org and see if those are available for viewing. Another thing to consider is the grave registration card from the courthouse could be MISSING. I have found several missing index cards. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful!

Is there a resource available that list those serving ? Or can anyone give me info about him? He married Ann Gillespie , and left her with 3 or 4 children to serve. I just need info about him and the War of 1812. > > Ann > > ______________________________
