Where Did 40th Infantry Regiment Come From?
I have a possible ancestor, Samuel Pettis, who served as a Private in Varnum's (or Varner's) Company of the 40th Infantry Regiment during the War of 1812.He subsequently received a land grant of 160 acres in Fulton Co., IL in May 1818.Can anyone tip me off as to any good methods of tracing this infantry group and my possible ancestor further?Family tradition has it that Samuel Pettis may have lived in the Baltimore area in the early 1800s.Thanks for your help.
