Background<\/span><\/h2>\n

The battles of North Point and Fort McHenry began with the arrival of the British Fleet on 10 September 1814. Baltimore actively began preparations for the expected invasion around 23 August 1814 with the creation of a Committee of Vigilance and Safety and proactive funding and defensive organization.\u00a0 The active conflict began on 12 September and ended 14 September 1814.<\/p>\n

Objective<\/span><\/h2>\n

Create a resource of the obituary\u2019s \/ death notices \/ individual histories of those at the Battle of Baltimore, which was a pivotal point in the War of 1812. This spans several diverse groups and we have endeavored to take a broad perspective. The largest group is the \u201cOld Defenders\u201d which grew to be a large fraternal organization of the veterans who fought at the Battle of North Point and served in the defense of Baltimore.\u00a0 We have also collected information on many at Fort McHenry.\u00a0 Additionally as research grew, we have added other individuals that have had an association with the Battle of Baltimore and this includes many from outside the State of Maryland.<\/p>\n

Parameters<\/span><\/h2>\n

Veterans that fought \/ mustered at the Battle of North Point, Hampstead Hill and Fort McHenry.\u00a0 This includes many individuals from Baltimore, the State of Maryland and nearby States.<\/p>\n

Collection<\/span><\/h2>\n

Almost 2,000<\/strong><\/em> individuals with obituaries, death notices, newspaper articles and suspected participants. Information ranges from simple death notices to full biographical and family history.<\/p>\n

Location<\/span><\/h2>\n

All materials are found in the 1812 Collection at the BCGS Library<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Our work is not complete and continues. Numerous members of BCGS are contributing to this project. \u00a0There are omissions, fragmented records, incomplete data, missing newspaper records, conflicting information and challenges to resolve. \u00a0If you have additional information please send it to George Bausman Jr. \u00a0<\/span><gabjr1@msn.com<\/a><\/strong>><\/span><\/p>\n
