War of 1812

Offsite Internet Links Open in New Windows!

My fourth great-grandfather from Stark County, Ohio, son of Simon ESSIG the Revolutionary War Veteran, died in Whitley County, Indiana. They served on the Northern Frontier and were in the Battle of Lake Erie. George was wounded in an engagement with the Indians near Put-in-Bay. His brothers Adam and Jacob may have also served in the war. If true then the family tradition about Simon being the only survivor of an Indian attack is mistaken.

Isaac FALLIS

Fourth great-grandfather served from Greene County, Ohio was in Captain William Stephenson's Company serving from October 24 until December 22, 1812 or from September 20, 1812 until March 20, 1814, although Robinson's History of Greene County, Ohio says he was in Captain Robert McClellan's Company.

Jacob FALLIS

Probably the brother of Isaac FALLIS was a paid substitute for someone else according to Robinson's History of Greene County, Ohio

John FOLLIS

Most likely my second cousin five times removed, usually known as Jonathan, son of Quaker's John FALLIS and Mary ANTRAM of neighboring Clinton County, Ohio served August 22 until September 22, 1812 and May 25 until November 24, 1813 in Captain Robert McClelland's Company. May have also been a member of the militia as a private along with Isaac Follis, and or in the 1st Regiment (4th Brigade, 1st Division) Ohio Militia, or both?.

Martin KINGERY

Without much doubt this is my fourth great-grandfather Martin KINGERY served September 23 until October 30, 1812 in roll of Captain Zechariah Ferguson's Company probably from Greene County, Ohio. This is somewhat surprising since the KINGERY's were pacifist German Baptist Brethren now "peace church" Church of the Brethren.

Jacob Martin Sr.

Not clear but could be father of Jacob Martin married Elizabeth FALLIS daughter of Isaac FALLIS and Mercy VAUGHAN. Jacob Jr. would have been 16 years old if he served Captain William Stephenson's Company so could be his father?

George ROYER

My third great-grandfather according to his obituary served as a substitute in Stark County, Ohio. He joined the German Baptist Brethren and belonged to the conservative Old Order Brethren who listed his age as 99 years, 10 months and 8 days in his 1876 Vindicator obituary.

Edmond TIMMONS

My third great-grandfather has a G.A.R. medallion next to his tombstone. A newspaper account says David TIMMONS War of 1812 is buried in the West Side Cemetery Delphos, Ohio with Edmond and son Lewis. Lewis had a son David born in 1861. Edmond died in 1866 at 76 years of age so it is unlikely he fought in the Civil War in 1864-1865 rather he was the War of 1812 veteran. Edmond apparently was in Captain Collins Company, 26th Regiment, United States Infantry in the War of 1812, May 6, 1813 to February 28 18?, enlisted at London, Madison County, Ohio and received bounty land in Van Wert County, Ohio where he lived the remainder of his life. He may have also been in Captain Dawson's Mounted Calvary Ohio Volunteers a private?

John VAUGHN

Was a private on roll of Captain James Crother's Company July 27 to August 16, 1813, probably from Ross County which is next to Greene County where John lived, so he could be the husband of Phebe FALLIS, sister of my Isaac FALLIS above.

Thompson and William VAUGHN

Sons of Isaac's sister Phebe FALLIS and John VAUGHAN, served August 22 until September 22, 1812 and May 25 until November 24, 1813 in Captain Robert McClelland's Company. probably from Greene County, Ohio. William may have also served in Captain William Stephenson's Company from October 24 until December 22, 1812 or from September 20, 1812 until March 20, 1814

Austin WEBB

Enlisted in Washington Township, Montgomery County, Ohio. Was a Corporal April 25 to October 26, 1812 on roll of Captain Robert Gilchrist's Company. An uncle of Hannah KINGERY wife of Jacob FALLIS son of Isaac FALLIS.

Henry WEBB

Most likely my fourth great-granduncle, son of James and Lucy WEBB, uncle to Hannah KINGERY. Was a corporal served August 22 until September 22, 1812 and May 25 until November 24, 1813 in Captain Robert McClelland's Company, probably from Greene County, Ohio.

Turner WELCH

Second cousin five times removed, husband of Esther FALLIS of Clinton County, Ohio a physician and surgeon in the War of 1812.

George ZUMBRUN

My fourth great-granduncle was a private in Captain William Knox Company Frederick County, Maryland Militia, buried KUNS Cemetery, Montgomery County, Ohio.

Henry ZUMBRUN

George's brother, my fourth great-grandfather was in Watkins Command, Maryland Militia. Henry lived near Taneytown, whose most famous son is Francis Scott Key who wrote the Star-Spangled Banner in 1814 during the War of 1812 after the Battle at Fort McHenry which is now a National Park.

Jacob ZUMBRUN

According to Roy KISER who left a comment July 25, 2007, "Johann ZUMBRUN had a son Jacob (1793 - 1868) (another brother of George and my Henry). Jacob is documented as a soldier in the War of 1812. He was stationed in the defense of Baltimore (Maryland) and his unit was near Fort McHenry during the bombardment (that led to the Star Spangle Banner). His daughter Margaret married Roy's second great grandfather William Kiser. Jacob was a saddle maker and at one time a justice of the peace in Carroll County (, Maryland)."
