I would like to find documentation on Daniel Benson's(Onondaga Co., NY)service in the War of 1812. I have been told, "In 1801, Daniel was appointed ensign in the 3rd co, of the 4th regiment of Onondaga Co. In 1803, he was a lieut. and, in 1804, he was promoted to captain. In 1807, he was made 2nd major of a newly formed unit. He was a major in the war of 1812 and his son, Elias Benson, was a drummer boy."
Can anyone assist me in documenting his military history?
