Indiana Mounted and Foot Militia Enlisted 22Oct1812 Discharged 31Oct1812 Luis F West, Private discharged 20Sept, 1812, overage There was also a Private John West that enlisted in Harrison County and a Private William West that enlisted in Jefferson County ----- Original Message ----- From: "Awkoska" <westhistorian@yahoo.com> To: <WARof1812-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, August 14, 2006 6:37 AM Subject: Isham and Brittain West > Isham WEST was born ca 1780 in NC, probably Duplin County.

You might wish to do a search on Google.com for your people, using whatever spelling variants seem called for. Surround the name with quotation marks: "John Smith" If you get a tremendous number of hits, you can refine the search by ncluding a county or state location. Look at the bottom of the Google page to see where you do an advanced search.
