Hello Pat, Boy am I glad to hear that someone else had heard of the first 31st!!!!!! My ggg grandfather John HUTCHINSON was also in the 31st US Infantry in the WO1812 - Capt Dickinson's Co as a Private. I sent for and received his Pension file. It was a gold mine of information, but it took 18 months to get because they lost my request, etc - this was several years ago, they have improved. BUT, information about the 31st!!!! DEAD END. I even joined the list for the 31st US Infantry - someone on list told me it was disbanded and then reformed, but no references. It is now somewhat of a polar unit, heavy on the Korean War - the other war called the "Forgotten War". I have tried to find a unit history, dead end, just the modern unit. I sort of dropped the ball on this. John was from Vermont, born in Pomfret in 1795. John Hutchinson also got a land grant - in Hardin County, IL. The family is still nearby. He may have also been in another unit (Capt Burnap's) for a short time and received land in another county - I have gotten nowhere on this. This was during a mysterious first marriage prior to his marriage to my ggg grandmother, where he fell off the map, so to speak. Kathryne

Zachariah Brewer enlisted for 5 years in this regular Army unit. He was killed one year later in Canada. That regiment recruited in Baltimore but his family is living in Fairfax, Virginia though later Census data in the records for his surviving son, saw birth place to be Maryland. Any insights as to the campaign of this unit AND how I might locate his burial place? His compiled service record is less than a page with no info on cause of death, exact place, or burial. His widow did receive Federal pension and I have the application file from NARA. TIA Jacque-Lynne

The 31st Regiment US Army was composed mainly of men from Vermont. There was a Justin Jacobs in the 4th Regiment Vermont Militia, Colonel John Peck's Regiment. Possible he was also in the 31st US as many militia enlistments were short. -- Other surnames: Lewis Jacobs, Jr. Sumner's Regiment Vermont Militia Nathan Jacobs, Captain Reed's Company Vermont Militia Stephen Jacobs, Captain Timothy Hubbard's Company Vermont Militia -- Captain Rufus Stewart, 31st Regiment US Army.

Hello, Thank you for looking. Union Cemetery in Brockton is not posted on Rootsweb. But I have been trying to get it posted. That is where Jarvis is buried. Thank you for the vital information. I didn't know that Jarvis was born in Boston. His children where. Incidentally Jarvis and his daughter in law Abigail (Howard) WHITE and his grandchild Annie Mason WHITE and he all passed away in 1878. I believe there was an epedemic of Yellow Fever that year. His son Henry Jarvis WHITE then disappeared from the family. Is there somewhere I could look to see where he is listed on a Roll Call for the Navy for the War of 1812?

I've built a webpage around Kentucky volunteers who probably fought at the Battle for Fort Meigs in Maumee, Ohio. It is searchable and contains approximately 2,500 names of soldiers. I'm attempting to locate the "home" county for each Company of Soldiers. Does anyone have any advice?

I am hoping to find out some information about my gggg-grandfather, Joel Farnham. I believe he lived in Lancaster, NH. On Ancestry.com he is listed as a Private with the 11th regiment infantry from Coos County, New Hampshire. Also, he is listed in the Roster of Capt's John Week's Company according to the book "History of Coos Co., Town of Lancaster". I would appreciate any more information that might be available about Joel Farnham such as possible age, length of service, battles he might have fought in, wife's name or family connection, etc. Thank you for any help you can give me, Elizabeth

Searching for information on the burial locations of some of the Tennessee Militia who fought under General William Carroll and were buried at Baton Rouge, Louisiana. This would be after the fighting had ended when many of the men died of illnesses that permeated the camps. Robert

Sorry for the mass cross posting but I'm sure there are thousands of descendents of the people buried in the Cooley / Hatt Cemetery on these lists.

I'm building a webpage at http://members.aol.com/rwa5352802/ftmeigs that will eventually hold the names of all soldiers, from Kentucky, who fought in the War of 1812. I would like to include a reference on each Company Roster as to which county that particular Company was formed. Can anyone point me in the right direction for finding such information?
