Foot note has some service date. The National Archives has the records. Look for all possible people you might have and ask to pull the records. In the afternoon go upstairs and look at recordes one at a time and ask them to copy what you want. You may think that serving one to three months is very little, but it all counts. If the record says your guy was a deserter, see if there service after that entry. People took off to plant, harvest, etc. They missed roll call, thats all. Still good. Get an 1812 Society in your area, fill out the paperwork, meet at the country club and enjoy some new friendships. Skip Gustafson
