Eric,
Your help and expertise is much appreciated.
My Foster ancestors all came from the Amelia/Charlotte/Lunenburg Co., Va area.
There is speculation that the three men I'm tracking, who were most likely brothers, may have spent some time in NC before eventually settling in the Maury/Giles Co's., TN in the late 1820s. I learned of their War of 1812 service through bounty land patent applications they submitted, and had approved, in Arkansas in 1821. So, it would seem that they werein the Army during actual hostilities.
The Riddle I mentioned is actually a Capt. David Riddle.Someone on another list was fairly certain that he was from Rowan Co., NC. I haven't been able to confirm this.
Captain Rothwell was a company c.o. in the 38th Inf. Reg.
Again, thanks for your assistance.
Bob
