This book was compiled from copies of the General Entry Book of American Prisoners of War (GEB) ledger of the British Admiralty made by the Public Records Office in London, Great Britain (ADM 103 series). These ledgers contain the information on 6,553 American prisoners of war who were interned between 2 April 1813 and 26 March 1815 at the Dartmoor Depot. Eight-hundred-sixty-seven of these Americans are listed as Negroes, Blacks, Colored, Men of Color or Mulattos on the GEB ledgers, which amounts to 13% of the total American POW population. Sixteen men are listed as Creoles and there was one Chinese American. Fifty-nine American men entered British service, that is, they enlisted in either the British army, navy or merchant marines to avoid internment in Dartmoor Depot. Fifty-three Americans escaped from Dartmoor Depot, while 272 died and were buried in the American Cemetery near Dartmoor Depot.

The U.S. Corps of Sea Fencibles was a unique branch of the U.S. Army. The U.S. Corps of Sea Fencibles consisted of U.S. Army officers and seamen in the enlisted ranks. They were a very unique corps which not only operated heavy cannons but they could also man harbor gunboats and serve as infantry when needed. Various states also created their own sea fencibles companies which protected their ports and harbors. With most of the nation's merchant ships tied up in the ports along our eastern seaboard due to the British blockade during the war, there were plenty of unemployed sailors who needed jobs. This book lists all of the companies, both federal and state, along with a short history for each company. Plus, the book lists the 979 known men who served in the U.S. Corps of Sea Fencibles and the 1,916 known men who served in the various state sea fencibles companies.

All of these men were captured during the various land battles or naval actions on or around the Great Lakes or Lake Champlain. The first part of this book was compiled from a copy of the Records Relating to War of 1812 Prisoners of War from the National Archives in Washington, D.C. This file contains clothing reports, capture lists, exchange lists, parole lists, and death lists from Montreal and Quebec. The second part of this book was compiled from a copy of the Miscellaneous Lists and Records of the British Admiralty made by the Public Record Office in London, Great Britain. Three different types of reports contain information on the American prisoners of war who were interned between 3 July 1813 and 13 March 1815 at Quebec. The first type of report is the receipt musters, listing the men being transferred from Montreal to Quebec. The second type of report is the discharge musters, listing the men who were exchanged at Quebec and being sent back to the United States, or men who were being transferred to a prison facility in either Halifax (Nova Scotia) or in England. The final reports are the listing of men who died at Quebec. The second part of this book can be regarded as a supplement to the American Prisoners of War held at Quebec during the War of 1812.

There are also some U.S. Army, U.S. Volunteers and militia officers included in these transcriptions. This volume was compiled from a copy of the microfilm of Miscellaneous Lists and Material of the British Admiralty housed at the Public Record Office in London, Great Britain. Once the senior naval personnel were processed at a prisoner of war facility, most of these personnel were sent to a parole station. Besides the four parole stations listed above, there were also two other locations at Ashburton and Reading in England where the records have not survived. The officers were issued certificates of parole which permitted them to live away from the prisoner of war facilities until they were either exchanged for a British officer or sent home at war's end. There are a total of 1,234 names recorded in the four ledgers for Dartmouth, Halifax, Jamaica and Odiham.

There is a genre of War of 1812 research that is largely overlooked today, that is, identifying the men who served in the U.S. Army during this war. The purpose of this book is to identify Ohio residents who served in the U.S. Army during the War of 1812 and not to create a detailed service record for each individual man. There are mistakes  Due to misspelling of surnames, missing records, and other factors, some men are missing, some men are listed twice, and some men are not properly identified. Overall, this book should be used to identify soldiers and to point out what records are available for each individual. Chapters include: The Regiments, The Scorecard, The Officers, and, The Enlisted Men, followed by a bibliography. Researching this book started out as a fun project and evolved quickly into an obsession. By the time that the author was reading each land warrant, he found that he had been transported back in time to the War of 1812. As he was reading each warrant, he started to see the faces of these men. He saw fathers and sons enlisting together. He saw brothers enlisting. He saw the faces of the heirs who were listed on the warrants because their loved ones had died during the war. The author hopes this book will honor the memory of those Ohioans who fought in this war while serving as members of the U.S. Army.

Most persons when researching their War of 1812 ancestors tend to limit their endeavors to militia records in the Roster of Ohio Soldiers in the War of 1812 and to the published indexes of pension records and service records. Approximately 24,000 Ohioans served in this war. They served in the state militia and in the U.S. Army. The army raised the 19th, 26th and 27th Regiments of Infantry from within Ohio, and many Ohioans enlisted into the 1st, 7th, 17th, 24th and 28th Regiments of Infantry, and later the 2nd Regiment of Rifles. Ohio also raised a company of artillery, two companies of rangers, and contributed to the raising of a company of dragoons and four more rifle companies for the army. Many people neglect to search army documents for their ancestors. The key to finding the military records of your ancestor lies in knowing in which company your ancestor served. Hopefully, this book will remove some of the mystery of researching War of 1812 ancestors who lived and fought in Ohio.
