Bonjour, My wife's ancestor, ASA BLANCHARD, according to his widow's 1855 application for a Bounty Land Warrant, was with Captain Warren Ellis' regiment of Vermont Militia commanded by Col. Parley Davis during the Invasion of Plattsburg, NY. He volunteered on 8 September 1814 and served for 14 (sic) days, being discharged 15 Sept. 1814. I have been trying to find some info on that particular event. Lossing's book skips over the "battle." Does anyone know of an account of that incident? Your Humble Servant &c., Albert Albert Edward Belanger 128 Middle Road Brentwood, NH 03833 Researching the 1851 Oregon Trail Migration -----Original Message----- From: WARof1812-D-request@rootsweb.com [mailto:WARof1812-D-request@rootsweb.com] Sent: Saturday, January 29, 2005 2:17 PM To: WARof1812-D@rootsweb.com Subject: WARof1812-D Digest V05 #7
