I am very interested in the War of 1812 particulary as it pertains to the great State of Virginia, (Norfolk, and Craney Island). I believe I have several relatives who were involved in the war but am not sure how I can go about determining whether the names are actually my relations, although the timeline is certainly right on target. The two were brothers, Benjamin Baines (Bains) and Amos Baines (Banes). Benjamin Bains served in Capt Littleton Lanier's Co, Second Regiment, Virginia Militia from 1 Sep - 11 Sep 1814. Amos Banes served in Capt. Jeremiah Rawls' Company - 59th Regiment. In addition to the internet sites I have purchased a copy of Family Tree Maker's CD titled, "Virginia in the Revolution and War of 1812, Military Records". The information on the CD seems very sketchy. Are there any other sources I can go to find information on these veterans of the war or these particular military organizations?
