My War of 1812 Ancestors

    These are my ancestors with service in the War of 1812 that I can prove. There may have been a couple more. When I get a chance, I will flesh out the descriptions of the service of my ancestors.

Estridge Daniel - Estridge Daniel served as a corporal in the company of Captain Simon Gillaspie in the 17th Kentucky Militia.  This company consisted mostly of men from Montgomery County, KY. Estridge and his widow both received bounty land for his service.

George Burroughs - George Burroughs served as a private in the company of Major Devall Payne in Colonel R. M. Johnson’s regiment of mounted infantry. This company participated in several notable actions; at the Battle of the Thames where Tecumsah was killed; with the division that broke British lines at the Battle of Lake Erie, etc. This company consisted mostly of men from Mason County, KY. George received bounty land in Pike County, MO, twice, for his service.

Isaac Hostetter - Isaac Hostetter served as a Lieutenant in the company of Captain John Journey's Mounted Rangers. This company was composed of men from the St. Charles District, Missouri Territory. Isaac also served before the War of 1812 in various conflicts with Indians. Both he and his widow died before the Bounty Land Acts of 1850 and 1855 were passed.
