WAR OF 1812 SOLDIERS

General Note:  Since Yates County was not created until 1823 from 
portions of Ontario and Steuben Counties, records for the soldiers 
of the War of 1812 listed below will probably be found in records 
for the militia units raised in the counties of Steuben or Ontario.  
Many of them may have received bounty land warrants for their service 
and moved to the Midwest.
