 Thank you for posting your question on History Hub! 
 We located the commonly requested series Carded Records Showing Military Service of Soldiers who Fought in Volunteer Organizations during the War of 1812 . This series is indexed in the series Indexes to the Carded Records of Soldiers who Served in Volunteer Organizations during the War of 1812 . We searched this index and located multiple entries for James Davis. These records are arranged alphabetically by state, then numerically by regiment, then by name of commanding officer, and thereunder alphabetically by the last name of the soldier. 
 For individuals with common first and names you may need to obtain more demographic information, such as regiment, unit, home state, next of kin, widow&rsquo;s name, etcetera, or any other identifiable information that may help ensure you have records for the veteran you are seeking.
