and Captain Brodin,and was in the Battle of New Orleans, 1815 (fought fifteen days
after peace had been declared). The war was over, but on the way home to Tennessee
he died of "Camp Fever", probably on the Natchez Trace.
After Nehemiah's death, Charity packed up her possessions and children and

Jeremiah Vernon died while on his way to the gold fields in California. He was
