Kentuckiana Genealogy: Queries: General Queries: War of 1812 - Sterritt and Mitchusson

By Mary Ella Williams on Monday, March 26, 2001 - 04:18 pm:

I am trying to locate the counties that enlisted men for Kentucky's colonial militia under Capt Thomas Sterritt of Col William Mitchusson's command. My ggggrandfather Elijah (Ed) WILEY (b5/15/1795 in KY) served in this command from 11/20/1814 to 05/20/1815. I am trying to trace him back to his family and have found several WILEY families throughout the state in 1810 and 1820 censuses. Any help will be appreciated.
