In the War of 1812. According to Frazee, he was "born in the stockade at Fort Washington. Because of his very light-colored hair he was nicknamed "Tow-Head." He was in the War of 1812, and as a soldier went shoeless and hatless during his entire service. He was in Poage's Regiment, organized August 13, 1813, during the Thames Campaign, and was in the battle near Detroit where Tecumseh was killed" (see 561-64).
