Hi Spirit Rider,
The best way to start tracking family history is to find out what your
ancestor's home town was and look at the records in their archives. Some
towns have info on websites too. The US Army keeps pension records back
to the Rev War so if he was in a regular army regiment he might be listed
in those records.
As for War of 1812 period clothing and equipment the very best source is
"Uniforms and Equipment of the United States Forces in the War of 1812"
by Rene Chartrand it is published by the Old Fort Niagara Association
ISBN 0941967131
It is listed at $14.95. The bookstore there will ship it to you if you
order over the phone.
Take care,
Mark Hersee
