Surnames: War of 1812
I am working on a non-profit project to document the 16th Division Pa Militia During the War of 1812. This includes the present Counties of Beaver, Butler, Crawford, Erie, Venango, Warren, Lawrence, parts of Forrest and Clarion Counties.
I'm also documenting the men who enlisted in the Regular U.S. Army from this area.
I am seraching for letters, diaries, newspaper articles from 1812-1815, statements from Pension & Bounty Land records that will help tell the story in the soldiers words.
Any help in this area would be appreciated.

Mark,
I have been searching for information about the 16th District militia during the War of 1812. I have two people a Robert and Henry Campbell who served under a Captain Robert Storey who I believe was part of John Purivance Regiment. They were from Butler County Pa. If you would have any information I would be grateful. I'm trying to find out their involvement during the war I believe they were sent up towards Erie Pa.
Thanks for any help

I too would be interested in information you may have gathered on this division for War of 1812. I believe my 3rd great grandfather John Rose was in Robert Storey/Story's company part of John Purivance Regiment. I have his pension papers. I am not sure I have or can find his service records.

Happy to share what I can. I have his pension file scanned.

Thank you in advance.
