When I began using Ancestry a few years ago I came across my surprise War Of 1812 ancestor. He was a third great grandfather, whom I didn't know much about. He served 15 days in the New York State militia in the fall of 1814 for which he later received 160 acres of land in Michigan. I still haven't positively identified his parents.
ReplyDeleteI too have an ancestor who fought for the US (Ohio) and his grandson fought in the US Civil War. I've know which Company he belonged to, but what I haven't been able to find is where he fought or in which battle.
