I wanted to say thanks to everyone that replied to my question about the location of Kentucky militia units. Part of the reason I asked was that I had found listings for a number of Hanks men in "Kentucky Soldiers of the War of 1812" by Minnie S Wilder, 1931. Some of the names can be easily identified because they are unusual names (Pitman, Chichester & Fielden) The others are more common names and of course there are several different Hanks men named George, Samuel, John and William. I was hoping there was an easy way to identify some of the men listed in the records. One record in particular is important for another reason. I am trying to find out more about a James Hanks that is listed in Fredrick Guigers Company of Mounted Riflemen. This unit is listed as being at the Battle of Tippecanoe. Does anyone know any more about this militia unit? I find Fredrick Guiger listed in the 1810 census for Jefferson Co, Ky. There is also a Fleetwood Hanks listed in that same county, but I can find no record of a James Hanks being part of that family. Ron Hanks
