If you haven't already though, check with Old Fort Niagara if they have military rosters for the fort from that era. Also the Buffalo & Erie County Historical Society Research Library is a great place to check with, preferably in person if you can. They might have the info or can tell you directly where to find it. Ancestry.com has access to millions of military records dating from the 1780's. Try these to start, & contact me directly.Jerry M Malloyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04653949516092546466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9035576220169986933.post-24983954733476908982011-12-07T19:16:38.939-05:002011-12-07T19:16:38.939-05:00Do you know if there's any way to find out if ...Do you know if there's any way to find out if there were any deaths (of any of the soldiers in the fatigue parties) associated with the building of this road? My husband's 4th great-grandfather was supposed to have been killed by a falling tree branch in 1802 while clearing a road. I later found out that he was stationed at Old Fort Niagara, but I haven't had any luck in finding any further information (or confirmation). Any ideas, etc., would be more than welcome! Thanks!
