Additional Comments:
Nathan enlisted at the Navy yard in Madisonville, LA. He served under 
Gov. Willam. C.C Claiborne, Col. Warner and Capt. Bickham in the 13th 
regiment, LA Militia, in the war of 1812. Nathan served on a foward 
position on picket guard. The British decided to drag their canons and 
equipment through miles of swamp, giving Andrew Jackson time to make a 
defensive position in Chalmette. He was honorably discharged in March 
1815
