The 31st Regiment US Army was composed mainly of men from Vermont. There was a Justin Jacobs in the 4th Regiment Vermont Militia, Colonel John Peck's Regiment. Possible he was also in the 31st US as many militia enlistments were short. -- Other surnames: Lewis Jacobs, Jr. Sumner's Regiment Vermont Militia Nathan Jacobs, Captain Reed's Company Vermont Militia Stephen Jacobs, Captain Timothy Hubbard's Company Vermont Militia -- Captain Rufus Stewart, 31st Regiment US Army. April 30, 1813 - June 15, 1815. Source: 'State of Vermont, Roster of Soldiers in the War of 1812-14', Adjutant General, 1933. Pages 239, 407.

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.
