This link will take you to Ben Lossing's War of 1812 illustrated accounts. http://freepages.history.rootsweb.com/~wcarr1/Lossing2/Contents.html He documents many obscure events of the war and may mention naval engagements in Georgia. The Naval sections are in a few chapters. Theodore Roosevelt also wrote a book on War of 1812 Naval engagements. I would think that once the engagement and ship can be determined and whether the ship was a state marine or federal marine, this may help point the way to actual record locations. Good Luck and enjoy. Murray -------------------------------------------------------------------- mail2web - Check your email from the web at http://mail2web.com/ .
