Israel Huse (Hues, Hewes), Durham NY, died War of 1812
My 4th great grandfather served in "Thornton's Light Artillery" and died in the War of 1812, according to an Arkansas land grant awarded to his heirs. His widow's name was Abigail and one son was named Ira.
I have never found service records or a pension application for Israel/Isreal, nor have I found any information about Thornton's outfit. I'd like to learn more about the battles they participated in, where my ancestor might have died, etc.
Thank you.
