I'm trying to find out any info available about my ggggrandfather Thomas Wannall who is said to have served with the 1st Regiment of the District of Columbia Militia in the War of 1812...any information would be greatly appreciated. He was born in 1783 and in the mid 1800s was reported to be a shoemaker and own a shoe shop on Pennsylvania Ave in the District of Columbia.thanks, Steve Wannall

Steve, The following two CMSR files are a matter of record in the National Archives. Thomas Wannell, Roll 218, record 2142 and, ; Thomas Wannall, roll 218, record 2137 both are probably your guy and both were in the Regiment you stated.
