Dear Geoffrey, I have located Denny McCobb as not only a Colonel, but a Brigadier General as well. I will see what I can dig up, but you should at least be able to obtain some worthwhile information by writing for his CMSR file. There was also a Sergeant Andrew McCobb that served with him.

Dear 1812 Listers, I have just discovered that Denny McCOBB (1770 - 1849), a distant cousin of my wife (through the DENNY family of England and America), may have been a Colonel in the War of 1812. Does anybody know anything about him? Yours, etc. Geoffrey Woollard in Cambridgeshire, England.

Would you please check to see if you have a Benoni Paule'/Pauley on the roster for the state of New York? Thanks Bernice _________________________________________________________________ MSN 8: Get 6 months for $9.95/month http://join.msn.com/?page=dept/dialup

Hi Cindy, I would suggest you search the archives for this site. Several of us have posted numerous places to do research on the War of 1812. Your local library's history section may have books that could be of use to you. I know ours did. Here is a link to the archives. Just type in Warof1812 no spaces http://archiver.rootsweb.com/ Also go to www.google.com and input in quotes "War of 1812" or the state you want to research then the above quote. Example:("Indiana in the War of 1812") good luck, Virginia

I am new to this list and to researching veterans of War of 1812. Can anyone tell me what resources to begin with? Online or books..? My husband's family has at least one, possibly two veterans of that war. Caspar Hoffman of Frederick County, Maryland. It may be that his brother, Henry Hoffman was also in this war. Cindy H.

Depends how much work you are willing to go to, but it is surprising what you can locate and write up about a Regiment if you are willing to put in the effort. (1) Utilize a Ancestry.com Cd. Military Records: War of 1812 Muster Rolls CD, sku #2019. With this CD you can pull up the list and CMSR film #, of every person that served in that Regiment during the course of the War. You can also pull up the list of just the Captains, other officers, or the same surname that served in the Regiment. You can pull up just about anything that has data available. (2) Take the list of Captains and locate them in the 1810 census. The same can be done for any surname or rank that served, in order to determine the residency of the individual and hopefully the original location of the Regiment or Company. You can also use the 1820 for after war location, and tax records for during. (3) Locate some good books on the War of 1812, especially ones that address your Regiment or at least the State of your interest. This will provide you at least with a general idea of what possible conflicts, action, or service your ancestor may have seen. An example is "Encyclopedia of the War of 1812" , although very general with only a page and a half on Conn.'s involvement in the war, it lists the reference books where the information was obtained and the other areas in the book where Conn. was involved. Conn. is listed 46 times in the index without using a General or a Officers name, or a battle, etc., from the index. Needless to say there would be 100's of listings, or references to Conn. involvement. (3a) A book such as "the War of 1812 Land Operations" by George Stanley will be useful if there was any land action in the area. It is always helpful to view the action from the other side as well, and there are a number of good books on all the Canadian conflicts. (4) At minimum obtain the CMSR and pension records for your ancestor to determine his service dates and then others in the Regiment as well to expand the information about the Regiment that relates to your ancestors period of service. You may find that your soldier only served 3 days being called up to an Alarm. The indexes only refer to the individual soldier that had the CMSR or Pension, not to all the other names that are listed. There are some times as many as 6 to 8 witness records in a pension file. Even if your ancestor DID NOT have a pension file, his name may be listed on a witness statement on the pension file ofsomeone else whom he served with. (5) Utilize County and Town Histories to locate further information on the Regiment, Companies, officers, and soldiers. (6) A good librarian can put you onto all sorts of resources and films can be ordered through a FHL near you. (7) Now depending on time, finances and desire, there is still a lot more that could be done utilizing land, church, etc. records to provide even more of a story, but I'm sure if you begin to travel this path, the doors will open for you.

No. If Jesse Powell died before 1871 he could not have applied for a federal pension. > As you can see I haven't done this before and really don't know where > to start. Where you start depends on what you hope to find. If the widow applied for a pension in Pennsylvania it seems likely that the bounty land warrants were transferred and not used by Jesse Powell to file a claim. Therefore the location of the land might not be important to you, however, if Jesse Powell died before he assigned the warrants or filed a claim, then the surrendered bounty warrant file might show the names and residences of his heirs. _ H.

Hi., Can someone explain to me how to go about finding out where the land was for a approved land bounty warrant application. My ggggrandfather , Jesse Powell applied and recieved 2 land bounty warrants for his service in 1812. Will the location be provided if I send for the NATF 85 form for Bounty-Land Warrant Application. I already have the Warrant nos for his grants. The first was for "forty acres of bounty land on Warrant NO.48003,under the Act of September 1850" The second was for additional 120 acres of bounty land on Warrant No.75405.,under the act of March 3,1855. Since I already have the warrant no's is there a better way than using form 85? I would like to find the location of where the land was. I have an old letter(1938) stating that his widow,Susannah McFadden Powell was not paid pension by the United States but by the State of Pennsylvania.The letter stated her pension certificate no.2502, issued July 1,1871 . It said these pertain to Pa. State transactions and can be found recorded in the archives in Harrisburg,Pa. Is there still a place in Harrisburg I should be writing to? Should I use form 85 ? If I use this form 85, should I be filling it out in my grandfather's name or the widow's name.,since she is the one who applied for the pension.?? Also if I order the full pension record($37) will I be covered on both the land bounty records and the pension records. As you can see I haven't done this before and really don't know where to start. In this old letter dated 1938, it stated to the sender if he wanted more info on the location of the land for the grants he should "apply to the Commissioner of the General Land Office, Interior Department of this city" It was signed by A.D.Hiller Exec. Assistant to the Administrator. but did not include the location it was sent from. Thanks for your time and I appreciate any help/guidance I can get. Thanks Carol

Hello, I am researching John Flenner (possibly spelled (Flinner, Flennor, Fleenor, Fliner, etc.), who appears in the 1810 Fed. Census or Harrison County, Va. [later Lewis (or Gilmer) County, WV]. He seems to have served in the 3rd Regiment Riflemen under Capt. Edward Carrington and died in 1814 (I suspect due to the war). The info I have shows that Edward Carrington became Capt. of 3rd Reg. Riflemen on 17 March 1814 and was honorably discharged 15 June 1815. John Flenner / Flinner died 27 Oct. 1814. Can anyone shed some light on: 1) John Flenner 2) Capt. Edward Carrington 3) 3rd Regiment Riflemen (of VA?) (including muster rolls, battles, etc.) Thank you, Larry Flinner, Jr. Ohio

Hello, I have been looking for a Timothy Harrington who was a resident of Vermont. He was born about 1790. A Timothy Harrington from VT served in the War of 1812 at Ticonderoga from 31 Oct 1814 to 19 Jun 1815 in Capt. Taylor's Co., 30th Inf. Does anyone have any information about Timothy.
