War of 1812
Veterans
from Henry County, Kentucky

 The idea behind this page is create a list of all those who served from Henry County in the War of 1812 for which genealogical records may be available in the National Archives. This list will contain an "email pointer" to persons who have information to share or are interested in learning more about these soldiers. I have posted all the rosters I have, so if anyone has more, please email me at syshephard@charter.net. The other way to get more individuals listed here is for you to send me the name, rank, and unit served in and we'll build the roster one name at a time.
