Typhus At Province Barracks

Province Barracks was mentioned in a letter held by the NARA in Letters Received by the Adjutant General, 1805-1821 (excerpt below):

The writer had typhus fever in the Fall or Winter of 1813 and was treated by Dr. Shumate.  [Note:  My ancestor, William Hinds, was at Province Barracks in the Fall of 1812 and died in June of 1813.]

Slender Support Lent

Source - Fort Massac

"The slender support lent by the United States to Illinois Territory may be seen by the report of United States troops present on June 6, 1812, as certified by the Adjutant General, in and around Illinois being: Fort Massac, 36; Fort Madison, 44; Vincennes and vicinity, 117; Fort Dearborn, 53."

While the munitions issued were deplorably insufficient to maintain a show of aggression, as will be seen by "the returns of the number of troops in service on the peace establishment and additional military force of 1808." 

"Also stands of arms loaned to the militia, issued conformably to the law of April 23d, 1808; Illinois Territory, 216 stands of arms; 45 pistols; 216 equipments for muskets." [Source]

Records Of The Adjutant General's Office From Richmond, Virginia

Could this source, the Adjutant General's Office in Richmond, Virginia, provide additional data about William Hinds' service and death during the War of 1812?  Wouldn't that be nice!

There are other dates, other than July 20, 1814, listed in the Mirlyn catalog for items housed at the Clements Library at the University of Michigan.
