     War of 1812 Served under Capt. Daid Seymour's Company, New York Militia

The War of 1812 is one of the forgotten wars of the United States. The war lasted for over two years, and while it ended much like it started; in stalemate; it was in fact a war that once and for all confirmed American Independence. The offensive actions of the United States failed in every attempt to capture Canada. On the other hand, the British army was successfully stopped when it attempted to capture Baltimore and New Orleans. There were a number of American naval victories in which American vessels proved themselves superior to similarly sized British vessels. These victories coming after victories in the Quasi War (an even more forgotten war) launched American naval traditions.

He set out the orchard now owned by Charles Johnson. As his death approached he made a special request to be buried between two of the apple trees, which was fulfilled. Decaon William G. Shuart came to this locality in 1835 and bought forty-eight acres of Samuel Clark and Samuel jr. and forty acres from Marcus Hart, just alluded to . It is believed that Hezekiah Austin first owned the Clark property. The two Clarks mentioned went to Michigan and died there.
