Swanton Vermont, War of 1812 Question

jbarney May 2, 2018 6:28 AM

Looking for information on Wanton, Vermont and the War of 1812, I know there was a military barracks up here, finished in 1812, which is "detailed,enough", but, obviously, looking for more. Also looking for information on Isaac Clark, commanding portions of the other Regiment in the fall of 1813 or start of 1814. Finally, Valentine Goodrich, one of the other Regiment's company commanders, was active in and around the town and on Lake Champlain. Just looking for historical details and sources.

Mr. Barney,

Thank you for contacting the History Hub regarding the War of 1812 in Vermont. I took a look at Fold3.com and there are a substantial number of records digitized for Colonel Isaac Clark in Vermont, including Letters Received by the Adjutant General’s Office. There also appears to be a pension record for Isaac T. Clark, Vermont infantry and heavy artillery. You may order pension records online or visit the National Archives in Washington D.C. to review the pension file in person.

There appears to be a substantial number of entries on Fold3.com for Valentine Goodrich as well.

I hope this information is helpful. Best of luck with your research!
