* Names that are suspected of being connected to my line through marriage. 
Not proven.

I have been wanting to pinpoint the location of Ft. Telfair ever since I 
found out about it.  The U.S. Army Library did not know, or the person that I 
made contact w/ failed to look it up. I am so glad to find out that the 
location  of Ft. Telfair is Taversville. (Note that there is a "Taver" on 
this pay-roll. I would like to learn all that I can of my ancestors 
participation in the war of 1812. My main Quest is to find John and Minton's 
parents. There is a suspicion their parents names may have been John or 
Joseph Dean and  Elizabeth Minton. These pioneers migrated down to Georgia 
from South Carolina. Most  probably Old District 96. Several of the names on 
this pay-roll probably also came from there. My ancestor John was alleged to 
have been born @ sea 1784. He was married to Nancy Mathis alleged to have 
been the daughter of Thomas Mathis Revolutionary Patriot.  He had another 
brother by the name of Jarrett Dean (not on this pay-roll, but believed to 
have served in the militia) alleged to have been married to Nancy's sister 
Priscilla Mathis. Note: Sometimes the names Mathis and Mathews were used 
inter-changably in olden times. Also a John Mathews was listed in the Lowndes 
County  Alabama Census as being the next door neighbor of my John Dean. I 
just noticed tonight  that a J. Mathews was also on this pay-roll.
Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated.
