Robert Alexander, died at the Battle of the River Raisin. Does anyone know where I can find a list of the soldiers that died in the battle? I am not even sure if he was fighting for the US or if he was fighting with the British. I would be very grateful if someone could tell me where to look for this information. Thank you, Joan You can find a description of the Battle of the River Raisin at: _http://freepages.history.rootsweb.com/~wcarr1/Lossing2/Contents.html_ (http://freepages.history.rootsweb.com/~wcarr1/Lossing2/Contents.html) in a book entitled PICTORIAL FIELD-BOOK OF THE WAR OF 1812. BY BENSON J. LOSSING 1869. It book probably makes references to many units who fought in the battle. I know that many Kentuckians were in this battle but do not have ready access to their names. You can attempt to locate a book entitled "Report to the Adjutant General of the State of Kentucky on the War of 1812" which lists many, but not all, Kentuckians who served in the War of 1812. Similar books were written for other states.
