In Reply to: Peter Norton war of 1812 from Akron, Ohio by BM of 5081

At Ancestry I found only one Peter Norton who served in 1812 in Ohio....maybe this is your Peter?

War of 1812 Service Records
Darrow's Odd Batallion
Ohio Militia
Rank - Private
Roll Box 155
Roll Exct 602

This information is from the files at NARA so you would have to contact them to retrieve the actual file. If you Google Darrow's Batallion there is some history about it.

Do you know why Elethina's gravestone says she d Nov 24 1811 age 73 years? A little odd - she would be way older than Peter then :) The actual date at findagrave is 04 Nov 1844 tho.

Anyway, hope this helps a bit with peter. Vicky in AZ
