War of 1812
 

The War of 1812 was not one of the more memorable historic events.  Adding to the things we don't want to remember about it was that the British came down through Canada and burned Washington, DC.  Records of the war are poor and hard to find anything of significance, but a few names emerge from the records. These are those who served, not casualties.
