I am not sure if I am in the right place if this email will go through but I will try any way. I am looking for any information I can get on Justin Jacobs, Justin was my GGGGGradfather. From what I know of Justin he was born in Massachusetts on Dec 9 1788 he died in West Salem Wisconsin on Sept. 24 1878. On Justin's grave stone it reads; Justin Jacobs 31 U.S. INF. War of 1812. I Have done quite a bit of research on him and have located a US land patent on property in Lacrosse County, WI. reading the land patent this is what it says. In 1851 Justin applied for a US land patent on property in Lacrosse County, WI. , he received his 160 acre of land on July 28 1852. His parcel being " sec 17, twp.16, range 6, dated July 30 1857 on the land patent i t mentioned: Justin Jacobs, War of 1812, 31st US Infantry". Justin served in Captain Stewards Company 31 US Infantry as a Private I have looked for Captain Stewards records and have come up blank, i don't know if i am looking in the right places, so this is the reason for this e-mail . I am hoping you the readers of this e-mail can help me. i have hit a stone wall on locating Justin in any records either other then this Land patent. any help would be appreciated. Thanks again Pat Sparling

The 31st Regiment United States Infantry saw action at the Battles of Chateaugay (October 1813) and Plattsburg (September 1814). The regiment was composed mainly of men from Vermont. There is a Justin Jacobs in Lieutenant Colonel John Peck's 4th Vermont Militia. Captain Rufus Stewart was Captain in the 31st US from April 30, 1813 to June 15, 1815 and was from Vermont. You might try "Heitman's Historical Register and Dictionary" and "Lewis' History of Waterbury" for information on Stewart and Peck. From appearances, Justin Jacobs may have been in both the 4th Vermont and the 31st US.
