Isaac Baker

Because I research both Baker and Backus surnames in New York, the application of Isaac Baker at Fold3 caught my attention:

Julia Backus of Freetown, Cortland, New York, only living witness to marriage between Isaac Baker and Mary Swetland, 29 April 1813 at Granville, Washington County, New York.  That Ira Baker has known said parties (Isaac Baker and Mary Swetland Baker).....

On 30 December 1850, Isaac Baker, age 63, was an affiant for his pension application.  He stated that he was a private in a company commanded by Captain Jehial Dayton in an Artillery regiment commanded by Colonel Stephen Thorn.  Private Baker volunteered for war at Granville, Washington County, New York, about August 1, 1812, for 6 months.  His actual service lasted about 3 months and 20 days because of illness.  He recovered about January 1, 1813; by then the company disbanded was was sent home.  He applied for a discharge from Captain Dayton in the summer of 1813 as Baker was moving from Washington County to Cortland County, New York.  He received his discharge on July 9, 1813.  The purpose of the deposition was to obtain bounty land.

Illinois Military Records Wiki

The Illinois Wiki is a helpful tool for research.  See the Wiki article, Illinois in the War of 1812, for information concerning military records, histories, links, etc., including the fact that "during the War of 1812, the Illinois Territory furnished 1,303 infantry men, 1,005 cavalry men, and 49 men in miscellaneous troops for a total of 2,357."

For more about the Illinois Territory in the War of 1812, here's a post about pre-war conditions.  The Battle of Fort Dearborn (present day Chicago) was a famous incident in Illinois on August 15th.  And of course, check out the Wiki.
