    3. Dear Gwen, The War of 1812 muster rolls and payroll lists are in the Pennsylvania Archives, Sixth Series, Vols 7-10 and Second Series, Vol 12. They are also filmed by LDS and can be found on film 1027856 - Item 1. In addition, there is a book with the list of those who filed for a War of 1812 pension application. I don't remember the exact title, but any good genealogy library will have one. If you need a lookup, let me know and the next time I go into LAFHC, I will check this book. In order to get copies of the pension application and applied service record, you must write to the National Archives and pay $35. (The 1812 pension application I got was 3 pages for my $35 while my last Revolutionary file was 250 pages for $35.) The Pennsylvania Archives series is wonderful for early PA settlers. Many of the tax records are there as well as military records. It is worth doing an index search of each of the series with an index for early Pennsylvanians. Most of mine are there in one series or another.We are fortunate to have the entire series of published volumes in the Los Angeles Public Library and I am sure that other major libraries have them as well. If you are lucky enough to get to Harriaburg, they have a manuscript collection that adds even more to the published archives.

    3. Gwen. Although their were Ware of 1812 veterans who moved to Wayne County, I don't know of any who actually served from the county. While it's worth exploring, I think it's a long shot. It's been my experience that most of the War of 1812 soldiers were from state militias, so the suggestion to check the PA archives is a good one. I'd be surprised, though, if you found anyone from Wayne County.
