Page 37 in a book with a section titled 'Halsteads as Soldiers and Sailors' it mentions a James Halstead that served in the War of 1812 (June 29 to July 10, less than two weeks) as a corporal in Streeter's Company and Davis' Regiment of the New York Militia. Ancestor James Halstead would have been age 37 at this time, and, was born and raised in New York [Long Island]. And if his ancestral daughter Elizabeth was born in New York in 1811, then he could be this corporal in the War of 1812. [0541]
