Yes, you might not ask, but someone who wasn't aware of the difficulty viewing the files create, would probably ask.

2 Archive requests: If anyone is going to the national archives - if you wouldn't mind peeking into the pension file of James Smith of Wythe, Co Virginia (wife is Jane) who served under S. Graham I would greatly appreciate it if someone could see if there is a list of heirs or anything pertaining to "linking" information and jot them down for me. Also - Nelson Hopkins of Smyth, Co Virginia wife Polly Matthews Hopkins - a list of heirs would be nice for that one as well if one exists in his pension file. Thanks! Andy Doss

Is there a roster or registry of troops who served in the war? I am looking for info on a John H. Dixon, who probably served from NC, but was awarded lands in central TN. He moved to Jackson County, TN in 1825. Any help? Robert

Perhaps there is someone much more knowledgeable on War of 1812 records than I and can help me. My ancestor is Daniel Razor, whose roster record I have him assigned to Bradley's Regiment, VA Militia. His record says at bottom "See also William Pharris". Another roster record says "Absent detached in place of Martin Couch removed". It further says "See case of William Pharris". Roster record of William Pharris, Bradley's Regiment, VA Militia says "See also Daniel Razor:" Another roster record of William Pharris says "Deserted Feb. 15, 1813 and subt. for Daniel Razor". Yet another record of William Pharris says "A substitute for Daniel Razor". What does all of this mean???????? Thanks for anything. Ellenor

Ellenor, It looks to me as if your Daniel Razor paid William Pharris to substitute for him in his military commitment (a legal option in the early military, subject to registry with the authorities), and William subsequently, after taking Daniel's money, deserted and was charged with desertion by a military court, i.e., "See case of William Pharris". I'd guess that, if Daniel did his preliminary paperwork, he was scot free of culpability.

Hi everyone, Does anyone have a copy of the roster for Capt. John W. Weeks' Company - 11th Regiment out of NH - I believe. Specifically, I'm still trying to locate Joel Farnham who enlisted as a private. Thanks so much for any help you can give me. Elizabeth

The 31st Regiment United States Infantry saw action at the Battles of Chateaugay (October 1813) and Plattsburg (September 1814). The regiment was composed mainly of men from Vermont. There is a Justin Jacobs in Lieutenant Colonel John Peck's 4th Vermont Militia. Captain Rufus Stewart was Captain in the 31st US from April 30, 1813 to June 15, 1815 and was from Vermont. You might try "Heitman's Historical Register and Dictionary" and "Lewis' History of Waterbury" for information on Stewart and Peck. From appearances, Justin Jacobs may have been in both the 4th Vermont and the 31st US.
