If you live in northern Ohio, close to the shores of Lake Erie, you no doubt know Put-In-Bay, The Perry Monument,
The Jet Express,
The Roundhouse,
Pat Daily, the Mills Race, Port Clinton, Kelley's Island. You know all the fun things about boating on Lake Erie. But did you know you also might have ancestors who fought in The War of 1812!
In my case I live in northwest Ohio and have spent many hours boating on Lake Erie both on the American side and the Canadian side. And I do have an ancestor who fought in the War of 1812. I never even considered it because my northern Ohio ancestors didn't arrive here until well after 1812. As it turns out my ancestor who fought along side Commodore Perry was from Kentucky!!
Imagine that. Now all of a sudden Put-In-Bay takes on a whole new image.
The Daughters of 1812 will be holding a preliminary meeting to organize a Chapter in the Toledo and the Erie/Huron County Area
This will be a luncheon meeting at the 1812 Restaurant in the Island Hotel at 102 Madison St., Port Clinton at 11:30 AM on Saturday, June 28.
We invite you to
attend and find out more about the Daughters of 1812 and hopefully we
can answer any questions that you may have about joining our Society.
