The United States declared WAR on Great Britain on June 12, 1812, and the battles were fought at sea and on the North American Continent until 1815.  The battle of Fort McHenry inspired Francis Scott Key to write the words to The Star-Spangled Banner. During the War of 1812, there were 15 states in the Union....the most recent being Vermont and Kentucky.

Bullet3.gif (148 bytes) From the Kentucky Genealogist, 1961, Vol. 3, #4, p.134.  Abstracts of Important Documents Found in Pension Applications of Soldiers of the War of 1812.:

Image137.gif (887 bytes)"Lewis Taylor Sandifer, Bounty Land Warrant, Kentucky Service.   The papers for this soldier are in a jacket designated as James T. Sandifer.   Either there is a soldier of the name of James T. Sandifer or the above application was right for L. T. Sandifer and should have been so designated on the jacket.

L. T. Sandifer, 51 years old, resident of Willow Spring, Rock County, Wisconsin, about 1856, appliced for bounty lands (perhaps about 1850); was pvt. in Capt. Robert B. McAfee's company, Col. R. M. Johnson's Kentucky Militia; volunteered at Harrodsburgh, Kentucky.   Lewis Sandifer, 64 years old, 1856, Lafayette County, Wisconsin, gave same service and applied for additional bounty lands under the Act of 3 March 1855 had received 80 acres under Wt. 14898; gave same service except he volunteered May 20, 1813 and serfed to November 20, 1813; his signature was attested by Maria Sandifer, Fayette County, Wisconsin.

J. B. Gay, Snullsbur, Lafayette County, Wisconsin certified that the soldier's full name was Lewis Taylor Sandifer.

He was admitted to bounty lands by Wt. 22929, December 9, 1850.  (*note: there are a number of numbers on the papers and it is difficult to tell what the actual warrant number was.  Apparently Wt. 8299 for 80 acres was issued under Act of 1855 to a James T. Sandifer, so there must have been two men.)"
