I prefer e-mail but you may call me at 804 436-0206. Very soon we will be publishing the burial sites of over 4400 1812 veterans buried in Virginia. Soon an announcement will be made on this site on how to obtain it.

I have limited internet capability at present. I would hope that you might share a few phone numbers. I live in Mathews although you do not have my ancestor listed. Would you share contact info for Gloucester/Mathews or Alexandria/Arlington. Thanks, Jack I am interested in joining, or at least learning more. I have limited internet capability at present.

Each Virginia county with two exceptions was assigned Regiment numbers by The VA Adjutant General. Frederick County's 51st Regimentt had 23 companies assigned. At least five of these companies were attached to Col Taylor's 1st Regiment at Baltimore from August 25th to 24 Nov 1814 and were in the battle there. Mansfield was the First Sergeant in one of these companies. To determine which company you would need to request the service record 17730 in roll box 186 at the National Archives. For a person of this name's service as a Private request record 17731. Looks like you are eligible to join the war of 1812 Society. An application is available on this website or from the General society. You do not have to reside in Virginia to become a VA Society member. Mike Lyman Past President Bill:

I find a Mansfield Settle as a Sgt. in Taylor's 1st Reg't from VA along with Wilford G. Settle as an Ensign (whom I suspect is his brother; at least my ancestor is known to have a brother Wilford G.). This Reg't may have been raised in Frederick Co. If so, is there any information on the dates of service? Also a Mansfield Settle shows up as a Pvt. in the 51st Reg't VA Militia for the time frame Feb-Mar 1815. Is it possible that this is the same Mansfield? What County did the 51st come from? All of this info comes from the Ancestry.com database which originates from "Index to the Compiled Military Service Records for the Volunteer Soldiers Who Served During the War of 1812."
