I have found in a History of Fitzwilliam, N.H. that my Gggrandfather Dexter Fisk served in the war of 1812. How do I find out more information on him, is there a list someplace of those who served. He had lived in Mass. before moving to N.H. and then lived in Vt. so I am not sure even which State he may have been living when he served. Thank you for any help. Janice

Can anyone on this list tell me where I might locate a regimental history for the 7th Reg't New York State Art'y, or at least where this unit was formed. NARA records show that my 5th gr grandfather was a member of Co. F of this regiment. Thanks!

Hi Morita, Something you might want to look into is the possibility when your soldier was signed up for the war, his given name and/or surname may have been mispelled and if so that is what would be on the records at NARA. I your person of interest was alive in 1840 and filed for pensions, the below URL will take you to website of "1840 Census of Pensioners-Revolutionary War or Military Services". Included are pensioners of War of 1812. Each state is provided. FYI -there was also the 1835 census year for pensioners. Good Luck and Happy Hunting. http://www.usgennet.org/usa/topic/colonial/census/1840/ Regards, Thomas Allan Wright Sr WrightSrStuff@aol.com New York State Morita wrote> Subj: Help with a reference.

Hello All, My area of interest is the VANDERBURGH family of Thorold Township, Welland County. I've been trying to find whether muster rolls of the 2nd Regiment Lincoln Militia circa 1812 exist on microfilm for Captain Kerby's Company. I tried consulting the "C" Series from the National Archives but only found the 4th Regiment. Would anyone know if or where I can find the muster rolls for the 2nd Regiment? The only information I have at present comes from the book "Jubilee History of Thorold Township and Town." In that book are all kinds of muster rolls but I would like to see the original source and obtain a photocopy if possible. The book doesn't seem to identify the exact source. Any help with this would be appreciated. Thanks kindly! J. Kuchta ______________________________________________________________________ Post your free ad now! http://personals.yahoo.ca

Friends, I am NEW to ANYTHING about the 1912 war, a few quickie questions: a) Is there a Index online of complete surnames? b) If NOT to a) above how would I get a surname list of the families I need? c) These Index lists as I call them, do they have the unit and the county and state they were mustered in? d) I have found a 1812 vet in a cemetery I am restoring, is there a org etc that takes or has a way to register burial locations of these vets? I am looking for Reid,Newbern,Newborn,Newburn,Mewborn,Hampton,Moorefield,Mofield to see if any was in the 1812 Thank you Respectfully, Joel E.

I understand that there were very few American deaths at New Orleans; yet, undocumented tradition in my family says that two family members died there. I doubt this very much. Is there a list of American casualties at this battle; and if so, is it online? Sara Binkley Tarpley

Anotoinette, Without going into real detail, you are located very close to a source of records that should answer all of your questions. (Well none of us will ever have ALL of our questions answered. Smile) If you take that information to the National Archives in Seattle (Sand Point near the Children's Hospital) they can help you. They are very helpful. If you can go on a week day it's less crowed. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Antoinette Waughtel Sorensen" <waughtel@oz.net> To: <WARof1812-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, March 22, 2003 7:54 AM Subject: LOOK UP QUESTION > I have found 3 ancestors names as serving in the War of 1812 and since I am not familiar with the resource given I would like to know what the American-Genealogical-Biographical Index (AGBI) is, and if anyone has access to this resource, if they would be kind enough to check this for me.

John, key in Kentucky on the this same 1812 general search section, and check out the queries, that pop up. There is some information about the Kentucky Mounted Volunteer Militia and some sources to read.

Am looking for information on the 110th VA Militia. Another researcher called them the "110th VA Rifles."

I found the Cornelius Bassett was granted a pension for service in this war. He was in Ogle Co. Ill. and received $55. Where do I look to find his pension information? I also would like to find his final pension records because that might give light to where he died. I have a suggestion that he is buried in Sleepy Hollow, Tarrytown, NY, but I have contacted and even visited the cemetery and he is not there. He was in the 1860 Census in Ogle Co. Ill. Anyone have access to these pension records? Thanks Marita

WAR HISTORY FORUM Barbara Bush Library 6817 Cypresswood Drive Spring Texas 77379 281 376 4610 Saturday March 15th 2003 10:00 A.M. to 12:00 Noon Presented by Flora Newby Floranewby@charter.net 281 353 4226 Looking forward to a wonderful meeting to be held at Barbara Bush Library to discuss and share history of the Wars that our great country has been involved in. Documenting your loved ones experiences has been very difficult, due to the fire that swept away records in 1973,perhaps I can offer some insight into that problem. My father, Allen Newby, was with the 82nd A/B during WW II, my mother Jeanne Varney served our country as a WAC in WW II.My husband, Marcus Cherry, served in the Viet Nam War, for two tours of duty, volunteering and retired an E-8 turbulent times, but our men and women served and did their duty. My cousin, Gary Newby, is on the Viet Nam Memorial Wall.My niece and nephew are currently serving overseas, somewhere, representing our family in this war, in the Air Force. At our last meeting we had the pleasure of meeting L."Little" Bennett Fenberg who shared his experiences with the 163rd Signal Photography, Who was there at the Battle of Cassino, hunkered down shooting a film of the artillery. L. B. was with 101st A/B when they captured the Eagles Nest.He had our audience completely captivated. Photographed Audie Murphy when he received the Medal of Honor. Or in the Pacific Mr. Warren Kerrington who served on the USS Frost DE144 and is writing penning to memorialize the ship he served on known as "The U Boat Killer". Mr. J F Kidd who was held prisoner by the Japanese after Mac Arthur left the Philippines and is penning his memories in a book called "Twice Forgotten". Mr. Ralph Allgood who was aboard the ship Rohna, that was sunk with 1200 Americans,and allies at sea.11-26 1943 by a "Glide Bomb". The burning ship sinks, and, when the smoke clears, 1135 troops and crew have died. The images of burned and damaged bodies are a horror that will remain etched on survivors and rescuers alike. One of the least-known weapons of WW-II has just inflicted the greatest American death toll on any ship that went down. I am extending an invitation to anyone who has an interest and also to any veteran from any war To please commit to our little meeting, one of which I would like to develop into monthly discussions. God bless you all, God Bless our President, and our great country. Best Regards Flora Newby
