My Ancestor Wadlington Wall fought for the 4th Regiment of East Tennessee Militia. Is there any way to find out if they were actually involved in any particular battles? I can only find abbreviated information about this Regiment, but would like to find more: War of 1812 under COLONEL SAMUEL BAYLESS DESIGNATION: 4th Regiment of East Tennessee Militia MEN MOSTLY FROM: Washington, Jefferson, Carter, Claiborne, Cocke, Grainger, Greene, and Sullivan Counties CAPTAINS: Joseph Bacon, John Brock, James Churchman, Joseph Goodson, Joseph Hale, Solomon Hendricks, Branch Jones, James Landen, Joseph Rich, Jonathan Waddle BRIEF HISTORY: This regiment, along with Colonel William Johnson's Third Regiment and Colonel Edwin Booth's Fifth Regiment, defended the lower section of the Mississippi Territory, particularly the vicinity of Mobile. They protected the region from possible Indian incursions and any British invasion. These regiments were under the command of Major General William Carroll. They manned the various forts that were located throughout the territory: Fort Claiborne, Fort Decatur, and Fort Montgomery, for example. Sickness was rampant in this regiment and the desertion rate was high. The regiment mustered in at Knoxville and was dismissed at Mobile. I would also like to know if anyone has Access to an Index for Bounty Land Warrants? I feel he may have received one, as he relocated from East Tennessee to Missouri sometime between 1840-1850. Missouri, Arkansas and Illinois were 3 states where the early bounty land warrants were issued to Soldiers. Also, is it worth ordering War of 1812 Military Records? Will there be any other information other than what regiment he was mustered in? I have done genealogy for years, but recently have been finding more and more ancestors who fought in the War of 1812, but have yet to order any military records. Thanks Joel H. Hutto Houston Texas
