Thanks to all who have shared information re JOHN ALSTON. W.T. Purkiser said: "Not what we say about our blessings, but how we share them, is the true measure of our thanksgiving." I do hope that someone has information on FREEMAN'S SQUADRON CAVALRY GA MILITIA. Such as what county it was organized in and if they fought in the WAR OF 1812. Thanks! Happy Thanksgiving!
