ield, in 1831. In 1846 he moved to WI and was a representative from Sauk Co to the convention to make WI a state. In 1857 he was a county judge for Juneau Co WI.

James McClain enlisted March, 1813 in the Kentucky Militia after serving three tours of duty in the Revolutionary War. He served under Captain Dudley Farris and Colonel William Dudley.
James McClain was drowned at a battle at Fort Meigs, Ohio called "Dudley's Defeat". This battle is named after Lt. Col. William Dudley, who along with 796 Kentucky soldiers was ordered by Green Clay acting on orders from Governor Shelby of Kentucky to sp
ke the enemy cannon and immediately withdraw across the Maumee River to the Fort (Fort Meigs) before the superior British forces could counterattack. Instead of withdrawing after overrunning the guns, Dudley's overexcited militiamen pursued the fleeing a
tillerymen into the British main camp, where 634 of the 796 Americans were killed or captured. As the surviving Kentuckians were marched towards a termporary prison compound, Indians serving with the British overwhelmed the guards and slaughtered an addi
ional forty prisoners. Though the British soon abandoned their unsuccessful siege of Fort Meigs, General William Henry Harrison's position was little improved.

In the War of 1812, he was in New Orleans, Louisanna area from 1808-1810. He was called "Old Fuss & Feathers" because of his attention to dress and military proceedures. He and his commanding officer were constantly at odds and blantenly honest. If he wer
in the service today, I don't think he would have made General because of his telling off his commanding officer. He's the only American General to never have lost a battle and that's what made him good. He was made a major general for his heroic service
in the battles of Chippewa and Lundy's Lane, and was sent to the Canadian frontier. He led his regiment in the Battle of Queenston Heights on October 13, 1812 in which the American forces were repulsed with heavy losses and Scott was taken prisoner, and
xchanged a year later.
He married twice 1)Lucy Baker and had two children (Lucy died in childbirth of 2nd child and 2)Maria Dehart Mayo and had seven children. Out of the nine children only five survived to adulthood and married.

Memorial Forrest (born 1783) enlisted 10 September 1814 in Lt Col Andrew Porter’s Kentucky Volunteer Militia in the War of 1812 and served as a Captain. He received $40 per month pay. He died while on active duty at Ft. Gratiot, MI, 21 days before his e
listment was up. He probably died of disease since the sanitary conditions at military installations were appalling. The war had ended 24 December 1814, but the remote outposts were not aware of it because of the slow communication system of the time.<

MILITARY RECORD:
During the War of 1812, Peterson Burge enrolled himself as a volunteer to be in readiness to serve a six month tour, if needed, for the term of two years in the Virginia Volunteer Cavalry from Sussex County, Virginia.
He was called into service in early 1814 and continued in actual service for a term of two months while being commanded by Capt. William Peters under the command of Maj. Thomas Hunton at Norfolk, Virginia.
By a General Order, he was honorably discharged from the service on March 18, 1814 at Norfolk, Virginia.
His term of service having expired after the campaign at Norfolk, he joined a company of cavalry commanded by a Capt. Ross of Dinwiddie County and, in September, was again called into service.
His company was stationed at Petersburg, Virginia and, after a term of one month, he was again honorably discharged.
LAND GRANTS:
On November 21, 1850, in Wilson County,
Tennessee, Peterson Burge filed a declaration to obtain bounty land, which he was entitled to, for military service of the United States in the War of 1812.
This declaration was sworn to before Justice of the Peace William Holmes. The statment was received and certified by Josiah Mclain, Clerk of the Wilson County Court.
This land was claimed under a law passed by Congress on September 28, 1830 granting land to veterns of the War of 1812.
Comments:
" men from the Elk Valley & vicinity to Norfolk, VA to fight the British. They joined a regiment at Lewisburg & immediately marched across the Allegheny mountains to the Atlantic. The campsite at Norfolk was low & swampy. Many fell victims to Malarial & T
phoid fevers. The men were given picks & shovels & set to work building fortifications. When these were completed, they were told to throw the earth back to its original place. In this way the men were given exercise. They did not have a chance to figh
the enemy because the British did not make any attempt to land troops at that place. But they did see the British flag displayed from the masthead of a British-man-of-war far out at sea." - Moccasin Tracks & Imprints book.

Jacob N. is my ggg grandfather. He enlisted in the Spring of 1814 in Morgantown, Virginia (which later became West Virginia). His company moved to Norfolk, Virginia in May, 1814. Company commander was Captain Samuel Kennedy, and later Lieutenant Shivel
. Jacob was discharged in August, 1814, and married Nancy Worley. They sold the farm Nancy inherited and moved to Guernsey County, Ohio around 1817. Jacob spent a few years in the Shenandoah County area of Virginia, but settled in Noble County, Ohio ar

the batle of New Orleans.
We are trying to trace hid place of birth and death to determine whether he is the father of Russel Jones (junior) born in 1816 in Bossier parish LA.

As far as I can dedtermine they had one child, Edward K. Allen. Elisha Allen was my

He is my ggg grandfather. He served as a Surgeon's Matein the 2nd Virginia Militia
Regiment, commanded by Lt. Col. Ambler and Lt. Col Brown. Afterwards he served in the 23rd
Virginia Militia Regiment (Brown's). I think the regiments were either reforme or he went
with each as it was called up in regional (county) musters. He did not file for a pension.
He graduated from the University of Pennsylvania in 1813, and then graduated with a
Medical degree from the same university in 1816. About 1820, he m ved to Cambridge,
Edgefield District, S.C. He married in about 1821 to Elizabeth Harrison in Virginia, then
moved her to his home in Cambridge and then promptly died the following year. I don't know
exactly when he was born, but I suspect he was fairly young during the war and probably
left the University of Penn to join the service. Anyone with other information, please
contact me.
