Hello. I've tried sending this a couple of times now, but I haven't seen it show up on the list yet, so let me try again. I'm hoping someone can help me. My great-great-grandfather, Andrew Hogue Armstrong, is listed on the muster rolls for Francesco's 17th regiment/Kentucky Militia in the War of 1812. I've done Google searches, scanned the indexes of countless history books, harassed historians at the Kentucky military archives, wrote to the NARA, even searched this list's archives and I still can't find out anything about this regiment. No one seems to know anything about Francesco's Kentucky militia. Is it the same 17th Regiment that was massacred at the River Raisin? Did the militia operate differently than the "real" 17th regiment? Does anyone know how I can find more information about this particular regiment? One of the historians at the Kentucky Military Records & Research Branch in Frankfort, Ky told me that in 1874 all military records prior to 1860 were burned by order of the Kentucky Adjutant General to make way for incoming Civil War pension applications. So, given this, is it still possible to find out about Francesco & his 17th Regiment? I find it ironic that I can find more on my great-great-great-grandfather, Benjamin Egerton's month long misadventure with Thomas Kennedy's Company than I can on Francesco's (which I'm assuming lasted longer). Thanks in advance for any help. Roxanne

The shows writers called the house where the President lives the White House before it was burnt. It was the Executive Manson until then. After it was rebuilt, the exterior walls were white washed to hid the burn marks - hence the name.

I am new to the researching of the War of 1812 and need some directions. I found information about someone, Jacob Wilson b. 16 June 1774 Chester Co. Pa d. 1843 - was supposedly at Harper's Ferry in 1798 and served at the White House in the War of 1812 under Col. William Washington. I have done some generalized searches in Google but not having any luck. Everything I find on Wm. Washington seem to indicate that he was in the Carolina's during 1812. Is there somewhere I can find information on who served at the White House. Any suggestions appreciated. Janean

Greetings Murray, You are correct, there isn't a comprehensive study of Loyalists who fought in the War of 1812, nor is there any that address American immigration roots, let alone Quaker Loyalist roots, but all of the aforementioned individuals who fought in the War of 1812 are included in "Soldiers of the King", by William Gray. Granted they don't have an asterisk by their name stating Loyalist, but combine this book with a few others out there on Loyalists, Loyalist Quakers, etc.and you are well on your way.

Does anyone know of good websites for the Indian wars that occurred after the War of 1812? Lee Anne

If you have an index or electronic database of soldiers who served in the War of 1812, would you please see what you find for John A. Bates? Lee Anne

Has anyone come across a John Adair in the War of 1812?

I am trying to locate a list of troops who served during the War of 1812 in the 3rd Regiment East TN. Militia, commanded by Col. Wm. Johnson and the company commanded by Captain James Tunnell. I have seen a history of the regiment on the TN State Archives web site. I have 3 ancestors who served in the same company: Thomas Asher, Harmon Thompson and Thomas Laxton from Anderson Co. TN. Any comments or suggestions will be welcomed. Glenn Hand

Bonjour, Susan McIntyre was kind enough to check the War of 1812 data base at Ancestry.com for me and found the following folks....Before sending to NARA for their records to see if I can discover which are the AMOS and ASA BLANCHARD and the Samuel Abbot FROST I am researching, I wonder if anyone on the List has already done that for any of these folks.... The BLANCHARDs are in my wife's line, and the Samuel Abbot FROST is the great-grandfather of the poet Robert Lee FROST.

I have been told that my ancester, Berryman McDaniel, was in the war of 1812. He was born in 1788 in KY/VA and died in 1858 in AR. He probably lived in Alabama around the time of the war. I have no idea about how to start looking for records. Any suggestions? Rebecca _________________________________________________________________ Don’t just search. Find.

Could someone recommend an excellent reference to Canadian Loyalists in The War of 1812? Thank you.

==================================================== Beyond the Index: "Before the Pension," by Michael John Neill ==================================================== The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) recently began allowing researchers to make online requests for copies of some records. Completion of the request requires that the researcher know something about the ancestor's service, so our discussion begins with some ideas of where to locate those details. BIOGRAPHIES AND OBITUARIES Either of these sources may provide clues to your ancestor's military service. County histories may include a biography of your ancestor that mentions military service or a section listing those individuals from the county who entered the military. In some cases, the only clue may be an ancestor's membership in a veteran's organization, such as the Grand Army of the Republic (GAR) or United Confederate Veterans (UCV). Most biographies will delineate military service in detail, but occasionally the only mention may be a comment that the biographee is a member of the UCV or the GAR. Obviously such a membership is a significant genealogical clue. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kale Hobbes" <hobbes_k@hotmail.com> To: <WARof1812-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, September 08, 2004 12:29 AM Subject: GAR and GAW ????

Hello, I received the CMSR of an ancestor and he is listed as serving in Camp Jackson. He was in the War of 1812 serving in the time frame in which the Battle of New Orleans took place. However there is no mention of the Battle of New Orleans. Regards, Virginia

GAR = Grand Army of the Republic A society of veterans of the Civil War; to belong one had to have an honorable discharge from the Union Army, Navy, Marines or Revenue Cutter Service. In 1890 it had more than 400,000 members. Last member died in 1956.
