I just joined this list to locate some soldiers at the Battle of New Orleans. Where do I find a list of American soldiers there? I am looking for Benjamin (or Berriman) McDaniel of KY, Archibald Mayfield of Nash's Regiment SC, Moses Mayfield and whoever were friends to them (or in the platoon etc.) Do the rolls give parent's names? Thanks for the help.. Mildred
The names you mention do not appear in the book: "Kentucky Soldiers in the War of 1812" published in 1891 by the state of Kentucky. The rosters that I have seen for Kentucky, Ohio and Pennsylvania do not have parents names. I notice that the Genealogical Publishing Company web site has a CD-ROM that says it has "...complete roster of soldiers who participated in the Battle of New Orleans and the War of 1812..." http://www.genealogical.com/item_detail.asp?ID=7525 You might double check with the company to see if the rosters are for all units or just those from Louisiana. Good luck.
