      <description>I only the muster roll for 1814. It has one Andre Steller among the privates, a member of No. 4 Company. The muster roll covers the period of Dec. 25/13 to Dec. 24/14.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Sheet 1 - 25/12 to 24/3&lt;br&gt;1st Muster - (present)&lt;br&gt;2nd Muster - (present)&lt;br&gt;3rd Muster - On Duty&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Sheet 2 - 25/3 to 24/6&lt;br&gt;1st Muster - at Kingston&lt;br&gt;2nd Muster - at Kingston&lt;br&gt;3rd Muster - at Kingston&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Sheet 3 - 25/6 to 24/9&lt;br&gt;1st Muster - (present)&lt;br&gt;2nd Muster - On Duty&lt;br&gt;3rd Muster - (present)&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Sheet 4 - 25/9 to 24/12&lt;br&gt;1st Muster - Sick in R[egiment]al H[ospit]al (?)&lt;br&gt;2nd Muster - On Duty&lt;br&gt;3rd Muster - Sick in R[egiment]al H[ospit]al (?)&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;There is also a space for "Remarks" but in his case these are all left blank.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description>

      <title>Re: Records</title>
      <link>http://boards.rootsweb.com/topics.Military.war1812.general/1514.1/mb.ashx</link>
      <description>For 1812, there was not an "official" federal draft, therefore there are no draft lists to look at as there are for the Civil War.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Yes, for 1812 soldiers, the National Archives would have a service record for them, perhaps a pension file, and probably a bounty land warrant application file.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;You can see if your ancestor received bounty land by going to the Bureau of Land Management website at:&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.glorecords.blm.gov" target="_blank"&gt;www.glorecords.blm.gov&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;click on "land patents".  When the search engine comes up, put in his name, change it to say "any state", then uncheck the box that says "patentees" and leave the box checked that says "warrantees".  You should get a list of men with that name who received land warrants.  To see if it is a military warrant or not, click on the image of the patent certificate.  If the man was a soldier, it will give his regiment, which war he was in, and under which bounty land act he received his warrant(s).  The "document number" at that site is the warrant number.  If he didn't get 160 acres, he may have another warrant at a later date to bring his total to 160.  Congress passed more generous bounty land acts over time and made them retroactive for veterans of all wars.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Be careful, though, just because your ancestor may have gotten a warrant doesn't mean he got land.  Most of them sold their warrants to someone else for the cash, and the other party used the warrant to patent land.  If your ancestor comes up on the list, see if he is also listed as the "patentee" (in which case he will have a small "p" beside his name).  He should have a small "w" beside his name as the "warrantee".  If he is both, he used the warrant himself to get land.  If there is a different name as the patentee, then he sold it.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Best wishes</description>

      <description>Stephen Cummings was drawing a pension in 1816 but he was in the 11th US Infantry, which was not at Queenston Heights.  The only Cummings (or alternate spellings) listed in Malcolmson's book is Samuel Cummings who was in the 13th Infantry Regiment.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Ron</description>

      <link>http://boards.rootsweb.com/topics.Military.war1812.general/1492.1/mb.ashx</link>
      <description>My husband's 4th GGf William Holifield was in Capt Robert Smith's Co.  Here is his tombstone: &lt;a href="http://tombstonetravels-beverly.blogspot.com/2011/12/military-monday-william-holifield-war.html" target="_blank"&gt;http://tombstonetravels-beverly.blogspot.com/2011/12/militar...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I don't have his military records, but he was reported to be in Battle of New Orleans.  William's son, William Jr. married Rebecca Gibson daughter of Johnson Gibson.  You have a John Gibson listed in the same company, but I don't know if it is Johnson Gibson or not.  Johnson would have only been about 16 at the Battle of N.O.  The Holifields &amp;amp; Gibsons lived in the same county in KY so perhaps they enlisted together.  If you have any further info on either man, I'd love to hear from you. </description>

      <description>Thank you for providing the first real and tangible and accessable records that can be searched for information on our British and British-Canadian ancestors who served during the war of 1812... and all without extorting further credit card info.  Several of my (+/-) 4th-Great Grandfathers either served or received land in Canada at that time and I cannot thank you enough for bringing this precious information to the light of day. &lt;br&gt;I am at your service.  Respectfully, StevenJamesBowyerDicksonBonfortiWamback </description>

      <title>Re: 2nd Regt. of Riflemen -  recruited from where?</title>
      <link>http://boards.rootsweb.com/topics.Military.war1812.general/1512.1/mb.ashx</link>
      <description>The only 1812 soldiers eligible for land under the Act of 1812 were the federal "regular army" soldiers, not the state volunteers.  So if your soldier claimed land under this act, he should have an enlistment record on microfilm at NARA.  I believe ancestry.com also has this microfilm.  If you do not have a subscription, you should be able to view it for free at your local library or research facility that has an ancestry subscription.  The enlistment record should give some personal information such as age, description, and place of birth.  Best wishes.</description>

      <description>I am trying to determine the origins of a Thomas Wheatley who claimed Illinois land by authority of the May 6, 1812: ScripWarrant Act of 1812 (2 Stat. 728).  His patent papers stated he was a private "in Capt. Harrisons Comp of the 2nd Regt. of Riflemen."&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Does anyone know if this Capt. was Batteal Harrison?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;From where were the men in this 2nd Regiment recruited?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Thanks for any help.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description>

      <title>John Smith, Captain, US Navy, 1780-1815</title>
      <link>http://boards.rootsweb.com/topics.Military.war1812.general/1511/mb.ashx</link>
      <description>John Smith, Captain US Navy 1780-1815&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;John Smith was born January 2, 1780, perhaps in Scotland or Ireland.  (Note 1).  He was&lt;br&gt;nominated a Lieutenant in the US Navy on Feb. 27, 1799, by the President&lt;br&gt;(from South Carolina) and confirmed by the Senate on March 1 in a group of nine.&lt;br&gt;(Note 2). He served on the USS Chesapeake, Captain Samuel Barron,  which was &lt;br&gt;launched in Dec. 1799. The Frigate had uneventful cruises in 1800 and returned &lt;br&gt;to Norfolk in Feb.1801.  (Note 3}&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;In April 1801 he was ordered from the Chesapeake to the USS President.&lt;br&gt;He was one of the 36 Lieutenants retained in the Navy under the Peace&lt;br&gt;Establishment Act of March 3, 1801. It is unclear whether he served on&lt;br&gt;President in the Mediterranean in 1801.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;On June 7, 1803, Lt  Smith was ordered to Baltimore to take command the USS&lt;br&gt;Vixen, a 12 gun Schooner, then being built. On August 11, the Vixen departed&lt;br&gt;for the Mediterranean to be part of Preble's Squadron.  September 13, the&lt;br&gt;Vixen arrived at Gibraltar.  In May 1804, he was one of the 8 Lieutenants&lt;br&gt;promoted to Master and Commandant. On August 2, 1804, the Vixen&lt;br&gt;supported the attach of the Gunboats on Tripoli.  On July 25,1805, Smith&lt;br&gt;took command of the Brig Siren,14.  The ship returned to the United States&lt;br&gt;arriving May 28, 1806.  Smith had over two and a half years of service&lt;br&gt;in the Mediterranean.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;He then commanded the Sloop of War Wasp, 18, which left on a&lt;br&gt;voyage to Europe on June 10, 1807 and returned October 14.&lt;br&gt;Smith then served as a member of the Court Martial board&lt;br&gt;which tried James Barron. On October 29, 1810 he was promoted&lt;br&gt;to Captain.  He commanded the Frigate, USS Essex, 28  in 1811.&lt;br&gt;In 1812 and 1813  he commanded the Frigate USS Congress, 38 &lt;br&gt;on her Atlantic cruises in the Squadron commanded by John Rodgers.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;After spending a frustrating winter and spring of 1814 refitting Congress &lt;br&gt;for another cruise, Captain John Smith was given the option in late May &lt;br&gt;of the command of Java at Baltimore or the new frigate Mohawk, &lt;br&gt;building at Sackets Harbor. Smith chose service on the lakes but informed&lt;br&gt;Secretary of Navy Jones on 29 June that he was unable to assume his new &lt;br&gt;duties because of poor health,.Smith did not return to active command &lt;br&gt;for the remainder of the war.&lt;br&gt;{The Naval War of 1812:A Documentary History Volume III 1814–1815}&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;John Smith was at Philadelphia, superintending the construction of the&lt;br&gt;Ship of the Line, Franklin, 74, when he died August 6,1815 and&lt;br&gt;is buried in the Saint Peter's Episcopal Churchyard.  There is a&lt;br&gt;memorial erected by his brother-in-law, Samuel Patterson.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Captain Smith did not have the opportunity to gain the recognition&lt;br&gt;that many of his peers received. His successive commands during&lt;br&gt;the 1803 to 1814 period are a sure indication that he was a skillful&lt;br&gt;war ship commander that had the trust of the administration.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Note 1 - The place of birth and his parents are unknown.  He&lt;br&gt;	was married, but details are unknown.&lt;br&gt;Note 2 - Appointed a Lieutenant at age 19 is an indication that&lt;br&gt;	he had experience with merchant ships. &lt;br&gt;Note 3 - His service in 1799 and from 1801 to August 1803&lt;br&gt;	is obscure and documentation has not been found.</description>

      <title>Drum majors in Connecticut</title>
      <link>http://boards.rootsweb.com/topics.Military.war1812.general/1507/mb.ashx</link>
      <description>I'm trying to track down the identity of my 5X great grandfather.  All I know about him was that he was surnamed Burns or Burnes, lived in Connecticut (most likely Litchfield County) and was a drum major in the War of 1812.  I do not know if he was born in Connecticut nor if he served with the Connecticut 1812 soldiers.  What is the best way of tracing drum majors in this war?</description>

      <description>Laura, one of my ancestors from neighboring Cumberland county, Kentucky also fought in the war of 1812.  He enlisted in Captain Edward Wilburn's Kentucky Milita in 1813 and served for a year.  There is an Kentucky Adjuntants report that lists the members of this company and you might want to check it.</description>

      <description>Hello,&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I'm looking for some help with Army abbreviations / acronyms during the War of 1812.  I have found an enlistment record for my 3rd Great Grandfather William S. Lilly but I'm having trouble with the abbreviations / acronyms, any help would be appreciated with these:&lt;br&gt;M. R.&lt;br&gt;M. C.&lt;br&gt;R. R.     Recruiting return.  If this is correct, is that he deserted and returned at a later time?&lt;br&gt;D. R.     Descriptive Roll?  What does this mean?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;M. R. Capt. Prestons Co., Dec. 31/13 (1813) went.  M. C. March 6/14 (1814) absent on the Rocky service.  R. R. Richmond, July 30/13 (1813).  R. R. Petersburg, March 31/14 (1814).  Appears to have again enlisted March 4/14 (1814), at New Canton.  Buckingham, by Ensign Carr, for the war.  D. R. Capt. Benj Hurdaways Co., Feb. 16 and I. (J) R. Norfolk, March 15/15 (1815), present.  Discharged at Norfolk, March 15/15 (1815), term expired.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Thank you,&lt;br&gt;Steve</description>

      <link>http://boards.rootsweb.com/topics.Military.war1812.general/1505/mb.ashx</link>
      <description>Hope someone can help.  I am researching my ancestors William Shields and Jacob Johnson in Mason County, KY.  In the 1813 tax records it shows them both being assigned to "SHIELDS" Company, 15th Regiment.  I cannot find such a company in the KY Adjutant General's report in Ancestry or Family Search.  William Shields, however, shows up in NARA's index of 1812 enlistees as a private in Gabriel Slaughter's 15th Regiment.  His son, William Jr., and brother Jonathan, are listed in the tax records like William, under "Shield's company, 15th regiment," but are both found in Jeremiah Martin's Company,Poage's 3rd Regiment.  No sign of Johnson Jacob being in the 15th, however, other than the relationship indicated by the tax records.  Is there someone who can explain the relationship of the tax records to actual enlistment?  Why can't I find William Shields in the lists of Gabriel Slaughter's 15th that are published?    </description>

      <description>Here is the web site for Georgia USGenWeb Archives Project:&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href="http://usgwarchives.net/ga/military/military.htm" target="_blank"&gt;http://usgwarchives.net/ga/military/military.htm&lt;/a&gt; I see quite a few possibilities listed for you to delve into to see if your Solomon Ray is there. I saw about a dozen soldiers named Ray listed but none named Solomon Ray. While I was casually searching I found a reference to (probably) a Ray cousin: William D Ray, a soldier of Baldwin Co GA Georgia Volunteers, Newnan's Command at this website:  &lt;a href="http://theusgenweb.org/ga/baldwin/1812.html" target="_blank"&gt;http://theusgenweb.org/ga/baldwin/1812.html&lt;/a&gt; I found these by simply googling: Georgia soldiers War of 1812 -- a lot of web sites &amp;amp; other references came up for you to delve into. I came across your queries re: Solomon Ray while searching for some of my ancestors. -- Fred in Folsom CA</description>

      <link>http://boards.rootsweb.com/topics.Military.war1812.general/1503/mb.ashx</link>
      <description>Does anyone have access to records or knowledge of where John Wilson's company would have served, or been posted, between the dates of 21 Nov 1814 and 8 March 1815? I just discovered that my direct ancestor, David Bishop, was drafted into this company as a private with those enlistment dates, based on his pension application.&lt;br&gt;Thanks so much!&lt;br&gt;Jim</description>

      <description>AR. court records don't go back far enough. I do find a John Roberts on a tax list but can not prove he is my ancestor.&lt;br&gt;PA. court record dated 1817 list Edmond's heirs but I cant read the first name of the Roberts signiture. It does'nt resemble any of the heirs. Who would have the authority to sign off on a land document? If it was the wife would she not be listed as an heir also? I can not find a pension either.&lt;br&gt;Also if someone was "sick at sea" would they be buried at sea? &lt;br&gt;Where was the 16th regiment Nov. 4th, 1813 ?</description>

      <title>Re: William Williams (died 1814) - Private - 19th Regiment U.S. Infantry - Captain Allen Trimble's Company - Pennsylvania</title>
      <link>http://boards.rootsweb.com/topics.Military.war1812.general/1417.1.1.1/mb.ashx</link>
      <description>Thanks so much for the information.  My 3 times ggrandfather was Elzy Hyatt. He was late to join the 19th Infantry Regiment. It is believed that he was recruited with a group of men from Zanesville on Sept 18th, 1814. This was the last group of new recruits from Ohio and Kentucky to be brought to the front.  They had to report to Chillecothe to be outfitted.  In the War pension file he reported that they marched to Erie and lay in wait there thru the winter. To the best of his recollection they were a few miles outside of Erie. I don't believe that his detachment saw any active fighting. He said his commanding officer was Gen. Brown and he was listed under Capt. William Gill's company. They had to march back to Chillecothe to muster out on Jun 5, 1815. I have been at a brick wall to find Elzy's father so I thought maybe Elisha Hyatt could be family. There is another Elisha Hyatt that survived the war of 1812 from the S.C. area.</description>

      <description>The 19th Infantry only had two of its companies on the Niagara River, one under Captain Carey Trimble and the other under Captain William McDonald. The 19th Infantry also had companies at Sackets Harbor, NY, and at Detroit.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Lt. David Riddle was a member of the 15th Regiment of US Infanty.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I doubt that Williams was mortally wounded. He died between the two battles at Fort Erie so he probably died in an army hospital from his wounds or infection. A hospital report will be needed to prove this. He did not die on the battle field.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Eric</description>

      <description>Since it seems that Lt. David Riddle's company was the only element of the 19th Infantry present at the Battles of Chippewa and Lundy's Lane, it is most probable that William Williams was mortally wounded at the Siege of Fort Erie, Upper Canada (now Ontario Province).</description>

      <description>It appears that the company commander was Carey A. Trimble, who was appointed 1st Lieutenant in the 26th U.S. Infantry Regiment on May 20, 1813 and transferred to the 19th Infantry on May 12, 1814.  Trimble was promoted to Captain on August 20, 1814, and was honorably discharged June 15, 1815. There was another officer named Trimble in the 19th Infantry in 1814, William Allen Trimble, but he was already a major at the time he transferred into the 19th. (source:  page 970, "Historical Register and Dictionary of the United States Army" by Francis B. Heitman.  Washington, D.C.:  U.S. Government Printing Office, 1903.)&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The 19th U.S. Infantry Regiment was initially established January 11, 1812 with Ohio and Kentucky as its recruiting area.  The entire regiment never fought together in one place, but detachments were present at the loss of Detroit, August 15, 1812; Mississinewa, December 18, 1812; the Battle of Frenchtown (or the River Raisin), Michigan, January 22, 1813; the Siege of Fort Meigs, Ohio, April-May, 1813; and the loss of Fort Niagara, N.Y., December 19, 1813.&lt;br&gt;The detachments at Detroit, Frenchtown, and Fort Niagara were all captured or destroyed, and serious casualties were also received at Fort Meigs, so the regiment became very weak in strength.  Consequently, in May 1814 it was consolidated with the remainder of other weak regiments, the 17th, 26th, and 27th Infantry Regiments, to form new 17th and 19th Infantry Regiments.  Detachments of the "new" 19th Infantry served at the Battle of Chippewa, Ontario on July 5, 1814 (a single company under Lt. David Riddle, attached to the 21st Infantry); likewise at the Battle of Lundy's Lane, Ontario on July 25, 1814.  Finally, several companies under Major William Allen Trimble participated in the successful defense of Fort Erie, Ontario while under siege by the British in August and September, 1814, where the 19th suffered 11 dead and 22 wounded.  Afterwards, the 19th was relocated to the Detroit area for the winter.  In May 1815 the regiment's existence was terminated by amalgamation with the remainder of the 17th, 24th, 28th, and 33rd Infantry Regiments to form the new 3rd Infantry Regiment.
