There is a historical site and museum in the area. Although it is not too far from where I live, and I have passed that way probably hundreds of times, I've never stopped there. I'll have to put it on my list. At least I finally made it to Fort Meigs, where it is possible that my g-g-grandfather spent some time. After the slaughter of the wounded soldiers by the Indian allies of the British, the phrase "Remember the Raisin" became a rallying cry in many frontier areas such as Kentucky, and led to a lot of volunteers signing up. Doug Gordon Doug, if your g-g-grandfather was from Kentucky take a look at my War of 1812 website. It is all about Fort Meigs and lists all the Kentuckians that I could locate. _http://members.aol.com/rwa5352802/ftmeigs/_ (http://members.aol.com/rwa5352802/ftmeigs/) It has a small search engine.
