The work 'Kentucky Soldiers of the War of 1812' by the Adjutant General, 1891, has: Meek, Joseph Private. Captain Thompson Ward's Company of Lieutenant Robert Pogue's Regiment Kentucky Militia. August 27, 1812 - September 20, 1812. There is also a James Meek, same data. No county listed; no age. May be the Josiah Meek, but miss-spelled. Scott Baker -----Original Message----- From: Ernest E.

I need to verify this. Does anyone have a source for him being in the War. He would most likely be in a regiment from Dickson County in West Tennessee as he was born and died in that county. Thanks.
