In the war of 1812, would the difference between Judson's and Fifield's regiments of the Vermont militia have been the geographical location? I'm exploring the possibility that my known ancestor, Francis Spear (b. 1793, Charlotte) was the son of a Barnabas Spear and the sibling of Barnabas Spear, Jr. Appreciate any and all help. --- Jeffrey Spear --- jeffspear@earthlink.net --- EarthLink: It's your Internet.
