Approximately 24,000 Ohioans served in this war. They served in the state militia and in the U.S. Army. The army raised the 19th, 26th and 27th Regiments of Infantry from within Ohio, and many Ohioans enlisted into the 1st, 7th, 17th, 24th and 28th Regiments of Infantry, and later the 2nd Regiment of Rifles. Ohio also raised a company of artillery, two companies of rangers, and contributed to the raising of a company of dragoons and four more rifle companies for the army. Many people neglect to search army documents for their ancestors. The key to finding the military records of your ancestor lies in knowing in which company your ancestor served.

There is a genre of War of 1812 research that is largely overlooked today, that is, identifying the men who served in the U.S. Army during this war. The purpose of this book is to identify Ohio residents who served in the U.S. Army during the War of 1812 and not to create a detailed service record for each individual man. There are mistakes! Due to misspelling of surnames, missing records, and other factors, some men are missing, some men are listed twice, and some men are not properly identified.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eOverall, this book should be used to identify soldiers and to point out what records are available for each individual. Chapters include: The Regiments, The Scorecard, The Officers, and, The Enlisted Men, followed by a bibliography. Researching this book started out as a fun project and evolved quickly into an obsession. By the time that the author was reading each land warrant, he found that he had been transported back in time to the War of 1812. As he was reading each warrant, he started to see the faces of these men. He saw fathers and sons enlisting together. He saw brothers enlisting. He saw the faces of the heirs who were listed on the warrants because their loved ones had died during the war.

Finding the proper documentation on one's veteran ancestor can be very rewarding.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMr. Johnson has been successfully researching War of 1812 veterans, both his own and for others, for over twenty-five years. He has come up with a research plan which is simple and to the point. First and foremost, you must know in which military service an ancestor served, and when he and his widow (if applicable) died. This will determine what benefits a veteran was entitled to after the war. Most military land bounties were awarded after 1850, and service pensions were not granted until 1871. Many veterans and their widows were long dead before they could have received these benefits.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eUnderstanding how each of the military services were organized during the War of 1812, how to avoid the myths and misconceptions of this war, knowing the ins and outs of the service records, and the benefit packages of each of the military services, will greatly increase your chances of finding missing documents. Mr. Johnson also covers War of 1812 research for prisoners of war and African-Americans.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book contains a wealth of information on where to find books, microfilms, collections, and material on the War of 1812, which will aid when researching. There are numerous charts and maps plus facsimiles of actual documents which helps when researching your veterans.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMr. Johnson is a lineal descendant of seven veterans of the War of 1812, and he is the past president of the Society of the War of 1812 in the State of Ohio (2008-2011).
