Thomas Asher's death notice [in 1885] states that he fought in the War of 1812 with Andrew Jackson. I have never been able to prove this. Can anyone comment on this. Following is Thomas' statement in his application for pension which he did receive. "Capt. James Tunnells Co., Tenn. Milita.....drafted in Anderson Co. TN. on Sept. 1, 1814 for six months and discharged in Anderson Co. TN on 1 March 1815. He served in the 3rd Reg't East Tennessee Militia, commanded by Col. Wm. Johnson. General Taylor commanded the division wo which the Regiment was attached. The company was commanded by Captain James Tunnell." Thanks, Patsy Hand, ghand@viptx.net
