We wanted to send a copy of Mary's obituary to those in her address book, in case anyone had not heard. She was loved and will be missed.

I am searching for information on James M. Condon who served in the 108th Regiment in the Was of 1812. This was possibly a unit from Monroe County, VA or WV. What is the best way to find out about his service or pension information? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks Jo Ann Collier

Hi, I have James Ratcliffe as "Pensioner 2° Dragoons" at 1861 census ¿Does anyone know more about 2° Dragoons? Andy Ratcliffe Argentina

Along with requesting for pension papers, also ask for bounty land applications. My ancestor was denied bounty land but the National Archives still had his application on file.

I need some help, if possible. I recently joined the S A R, and my sister the D A R. Now fellow members of the S A R want me to join the War of 1812 Society. I have not figured out how to start looking. I looked at my side of the family and did not find any grandparents or uncles who served. I believe I had some, as I had a lot of relatives in the New Orleans area about that time. I could use some tips on how to locate them, by using my ancestors in the S A R if possible. Regards, George

Many soldiers of rank in the Militia did not retain their same level of command in the war of 1812 that they held prior to the war. I would check out Lewis County for further information on the 101 Regiment New York Militia. The majority of its Captains were from Lewis County. the records I find for the command of this Regiment shows a Lt. Colonel Zeboim Cartwright, yet Ihe individuals soldiers records indicate a ? Cartter was in command. There is a Zeoboam Carter in Lewis County during the war of 1812. What does all this have to do with Colonel Nathan Cook. ?? He could very well be the Major Nathan Cook listed in this Regiment who also resided in Lewis County in the time frame you list.

Charlie, Anson & Lisander are both listed in the NARA indexes in Miller's 36 Regt. of New York Militia. I believe this Regt was out of Clinton County, New York. Anson was a Matross and his archive #'s are 43-2059. Lisander was a private with archive #'s 43-2479. There were also a Thomas and Timothy Collins serving in ths Regt.

I have just finished a trip to New England and Western Pa fowling my Collins roots. It turned out to be very sucessful. I located the cemeteries where my ggg grandfather Lysander Collins, DOB 09/12/1791 and ggg uncle Anson Collins, DOB 05/08/1779 were buried. I located them in separate cemeteries in Crawford and Venango Counties Pa. At both grave locations where these two men are buried I found markers place by the graves indicating that they fought in the War of 1812. Their father, Elisha Collins, who's grave site I also located in Willsboro, NY had no marker to indicate he was soldier in the Revolutionary War. However, I was able to go on line, DAR, and locate information on him serving in the Revolutionary War. So far I have been unable to find any information on Lysander or Anson Collins being in the War of 1812. I have not filed a request with the National Archives as yet due to the fact it has to be mailed in. If there is anyone that has any information as to how I can obtain information or documents on line that Lysander and Anson Collins are list on the rolls of the War of 1812 it would be greatly appreciated.
