Where Do I Start?
I have an ancestor, Matathias Williams, who tombstone (in SC) states his birth (1 May 1776)and death (10 Apr 1855) date and that he "served his Country in the War of 1812."I am hoping to find out more about this man, perhaps, through a war record.Family lore is hazy as to where he was born (Ireland, VA, NC?) and where he was during the War of 1812 (I suspect NC as I have his son born in 1817 in Wake County).Even the spelling of his first name changes from Matathias to Mathias to Matheu, etc.Can anyone tell how to go about finding his record if he has one?
