After the burning of the capital, (Aug 23, 1814) NC Governor Hawkins ordered the militia of 15 counties to march immediately to Norfolk. He then issued a proclamation that all "new draft" meet at Gates County Courthouse, under Brigadier General Jeremiah Slade. Chances are if you have sent for your ancestor's record, the enlistment place will be in that time period and at Gates County Courthouse. All men were enrolled in the militia, but not all would have been called up. Those who were enrolled were known as the "detached militia". These might be volunteers, but also could have been "drafted" if the county didn't have enough volunteers. When the troops arrived in Norfolk, they were sworn in to federal service and encamped at Moorings Rope Walk. The citizens lined the road and applauded as they arrived. Though they apparently did not see any battle, many men became ill and even died from disease....and in Feb 1815, the regiment was discharged. Peace had been declared at Ghent in Belgium and signed Dec 24, 1814, but the news did not reach New York until February 11. ___________________________________________________________________ Copyright.
