Hi Scott, I must have missed part of the thread. Do you have this book? If so, could you see if there is a mention of Joel Farnham who was in the 11th infantry under Capt. John Weeks. He died Mar. 4, 1814 according to what I've been told.

The book has a Private Joel Farnum in the 11th US, who died March 4, 1814. The Rosters for Vermont shows Captain John Weeks in command of a company in the 11th US, but does not show a Joel Farnham or Joel Farnum. The roster has Asa, Aaron, Alfred, Ebenezer, John and Joseph Farnham; and James Farnum. The roster does show a Joel Furnham in Captain John W. Weeks Company of the 11th US Infantry. May be the same man with spelling differences. Anybody's guess what spelling the National Archives has him under - if there is a record there. You might try looking up where the Week's Company and / or the 11th US was in March of 1814.
