The book has a Private Joel Farnum in the 11th US, who died March 4, 1814. The Rosters for Vermont shows Captain John Weeks in command of a company in the 11th US, but does not show a Joel Farnham or Joel Farnum. The roster has Asa, Aaron, Alfred, Ebenezer, John and Joseph Farnham; and James Farnum. The roster does show a Joel Furnham in Captain John W. Weeks Company of the 11th US Infantry. May be the same man with spelling differences. Anybody's guess what spelling the National Archives has him under - if there is a record there. You might try looking up where the Week's Company and / or the 11th US was in March of 1814.

Hello All, Can anyone give me any information about Capt. Van Wie's Company in 1814? The company was in the New York City area preparing for an invasion by the British. This was a New York militia company. I am interested in the regiment and who was the commander. I have a relative who was in the company. Richard From the shores of Grand Traverse Bay

My ancestor was connected with Capt. Moore's Co., Chatauqua Militia, October to end of Dec. 1812. Anyone have an idea of what this group was involved with at this time? Sources to find information about same? Thanks, and Happy Holidays!! Sandy Childs

G'day, I'm researching Richard ADDY of the 95th, he later served with them at Waterloo, 18 June 1815. Are any other Listers familiar with the activities of the 95th ? Peter THOMAS Darwin, AUSTRALIA <pmthomas@bigpond.com>

G'day, I've been following this List for a while, but I don't see much interest in "the other" side. I'm hoping that some listers are hiding their lights under some bushels ... I live in Australia, and the War of 1812 is almost never discussed here, and avenues for even the most basic research of secondary materials are very few. My interest is a British soldier of the 29th Regiment of Foot: William COMSTIVE (1792-1858). I have established that COMSTIVE served in the Peninsular Campaign, in which WELLINGTON drove the French out of Spain & Portugal. Then, the 29th moved to North America. I'm having trouble establishing where they served. It appears that some, at least, of the 29th, served at Castine from June to September 1814. Would this be Castine in Maine ? Does anyone know if all of the 29th were there, and what did they get up to ? I don't know for certain that my William COMSTIVE was there. In a later account of COMSTIVE's interesting life, a journalist wrote that COMSTIVE served at "St John" during this war. I have found several places in Canada, U.S.A., and the Caribbean called St John or St John's, but I have been unable to establish which, if any, might have been the scene of an action, or even a garrison, involving the 29th. I welcome any suggestions as to further reading. Peter THOMAS Darwin, AUSTRALIA <pmthomas@bigpond.com>

Hi Peter, If you want to read a couple of books about the War of 1812, there are two books written by Pierre Berton - "Flames Across the Border" and "The Invasion of Canada". Unfortunately, I haven't read them but he was a highly respected Canadian historical author. They would be available in your library probably. If not, try Abebooks - they have out of print books.

Pat, Roll box: 109 Roll Exct: 602 My guess is that is the location the lists were in when Ancestry first put them online. However, when I sent for my first War of 1812 records several years ago, I was informed the records are searched in alphabetical order by name and the location above does not apply. I have received records from the NARA several times by sending the name and service information that I had found. One of them even had a reject notice as the records for his service did not make it to a repository. Good Luck with your research, Virginia

Sorry for not getting back to you sooner. While at our local library I looked at Ancestry .com and found this: War of 1812 Service Record/Pension Justin L Jacobs Company: 4 Reg¹t (Pecks) Vermont Milita Inducted: Privite Discharge: Privite Roll box: 109 Roll Exct: 602 Being new at the Pension records I was wondering what the Roll box: and Roll Exct: mean.

G'day Peter, The 85th & 95th . "Half of the Army 85th & 95th had been marched forward and halted about 300 yards from Jackson's line. These troops had stacked their guns and with picks and shovels were busily finishing fieldworks from which they fully expected they would demolish the American position. The 85th and 95th coveredthe working parties in front and on the flanks, and the entire operation was conducted as quietly as possible." Three companies of the 95th were part of the attacking force attacking what was considered to be Jacksons weakest point, from battery 8 to the swamps. Quote from the book " The battle of New Orleans" by Robert V. Remini, ISBN 0-670-88551-7 Another with very good detail of the Battle, but not much mention of the 95th is "The British at the Gates, by Robin Reily" ----- Original Message ----- From: "Peter Thomas" <pmthomas@bigpond.com> To: <WARof1812-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, December 09, 2005 7:12 AM Subject: [WARof1812] British 95th Regiment - New Orleans, 1814 > > G'day, I'm researching Richard ADDY of the 95th, he later served with > them at Waterloo, 18 June 1815. > ----- Original Message -----

G'day Mate, I.ve loved it down there. It still has a flavor of the "Old West' in the outback. Long story, but my ancestors fought on both sides with my main line fighting at Crysler's Farm in the Canadian Militia. His brother was captured at Plattsburg and held captive in Canada. The following is a Canadian written book with excellent detail on all the land operations of the War of 1812 from the British perspective. It is a Canadian War Museum Historical Publication # 18. From the Book.! "additional troops had arrived from Gibralter, under the command of Major General Gerard Gosselin, and Sherbrooke (Lt. General Sir John Coape Sherbrooke)selected the 29th, 62nd and98th Regiments to undertake the task he had in mind, the 21st and 99th were to remain in Halifax for the defense of the Maritimes" From Chapter 13, "The Castine Expedition" from the book, "The War of 1812 land operations, by George F.

Jacque-Lynne, I do not know if this material will help you or not. The source is 'War of 1812 Genealogy' by Dr. George K. Schweitzer [a retired professor from UT who lectures and has written many books]. He is well respected in the genealogical research field. From the 'Battle Histories' segment of the book ... Given below in chronological order are some recommended volumes for the major battles: --29 May 1813, Sackett's Harbor, NY: O. B. Wilcox, SACKETT'S HARBOR AND THE WAR OF 1812, Jefferson County Historical Society, Watertown, 1886 Same volume in the 'US Regiments' section: 24th INFANTRY (men from TN). Fought at Fort Stephenson (02 Aug 1813), Longwoods (04 Mar 1814), Mackinac (04 Aug 1814). So this is the data from this volume for the time frame you mentioned and for the US Regiment you mentioned. Unfortunately, they do not match up. I did a search of Ancestry and found another Zachariah Brewer... here is his data from there. Name: ZACHARIAH BREWER Company: 39 REGIMENT VIRGINIA MILITIA. Rank - Induction: PRIVATE Rank - Discharge: PRIVATE This is the only man by this name that is listed on Ancestry. He could possibly be in the Ancestry's list by a different spelling of his name. Can you tell me, please, from what area of the country he served? Good luck with your research, Virginia

Zachariah Brewer was corp in 24th. He is recorded in his NARA 1812 record as dying in May 1813 in Canada. His widow is later paid a pension.

OK, I have no idea why the list administrator has not put an end to this thread. But since that has not happened, I am going to request this rude behavior end now. This has always been a good list. In case you do not remember, one does not flame another member of the list just because they do not save their instructions and are unaware of how to unsubscribe from a list. What ALL of you need to remember is the rootsweb lists are archived and besides your wasting valuable server space being rude to each other... just think how you will be perceived by anyone who happens to browse the list seeing if they might want to join. Why would they join a list with rude members? The person you might offend in the future, could possibly be the one person who has the information you so desperately need for your family research. ABSOLUTELY do not respond to my email on list. If you have something to say to me send me an email at my address: vlaldridge@sigecom.net Please do not waste valuable server space. And above all please treat each other with some respect. Another request. PATIENCE is going to be quite necessary when Christmas comes and all those new researchers start flooding the lists with their requests for help and information on their War of 1812 ancestor.
