Surnames: GOWDY, PATTERSON Classification: Military Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/TdB.2ACI/1809 Message Board Post: I am seeking information on the 133rd Regiment of Pennsylvania Militia commanded by Lt. Col. Samuel Gowdy, which served (at least) in January and February of 1814. I am particularly interested in Capt. John Callom's Company, in which my GGGF Samuel Patterson served. A roster appears on page 49 of the Pennsylvania Archives, Series 6, Volume X. I found a brief reference to Colonel Gowdy in the 1899 Bates history of Crawford County, under Summerhill Twp., p. 623. It indicates that Gowdy..."commanded a regiment at Erie during the construction of Perry's fleet." I would appreciate any additional information about the regiment including its role in the campaign, from which areas (e.g., townships) the companies were recruited, and its place in the larger hierarchy of the army such as Brigade assignment.
