I am the descendant of six War of 1812 veterans. There are two sets of father and son. They are my fourth great-grandfather, Aaron Doan, UEL, 1756-1844; his son Levi Doan, 1791-1884 who was my third great-grandfather; and Isaac Hodgkins, 1753-1812 who was my third great-grandfather, and his son Isaac Hodgkins, Jr, 1795-1867 who was my second great-grandfather. My other two ancestors are Ira Bearss, 1787-1874 and Zachariah Hainer, UEL, 1761-1813. Both are fourth great-grandfathers. All had moved from the United States after the American Revolution. All settled in the Niagara Peninsula.
