You might try to contact the U.S. Army Military History Institute, Carlisle Barracks, PA 17013 (No street address needed).If you do contact them, send a large S.A.S.E. and include a $5 donation as they do not have operating funds.Usually they cannot give specifics on individuals--only units.But since your ancestor is a brigadier general, they sometimes can help with high-ranking officers.
I also invite you to join the Society of the War of 1812.It is a men's lineage society originally formed in 1852 by actual War of 1812 soldiers.Later it accepted descendants.I would be happy to assist you in obtaining membership is you are interested.
