Zachariah Brewer enlisted for 5 years in this regular Army unit. He was killed one year later in Canada. That regiment recruited in Baltimore but his family is living in Fairfax, Virginia though later Census data in the records for his surviving son, saw birth place to be Maryland. Any insights as to the campaign of this unit AND how I might locate his burial place? His compiled service record is less than a page with no info on cause of death, exact place, or burial. His widow did receive Federal pension and I have the application file from NARA. TIA Jacque-Lynne
The 14th Regiment US Army saw action at the battles of: Fort Niagara (21 Nov 1813) Black Rock (28 Nov 1812) Fort George (27 May 1813) Beaver Dams (24 Jun 1813) Chrysler's Farm (11 Nov 1813) LaColle Mill (30 Mar 1814) Cook's Mill (19 Oct 1814) Beaver Dams, Fort George and Chrysler's Farm were in Canada. You might check the Internet for the above and check if there is a cemetery associated with it. The 14th was composed of men mainly from Maryland Scott Baker -----Original Message----- From: Jacque-Lynne Schulman [mailto:schulm@erols.com] Sent: Friday, June 10, 2005 2:07 PM To: WARof1812-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [WARof1812] 14th US Regiment Zachariah Brewer enlisted for 5 years in this regular Army unit.
