I've finished my search of the History of the Georgia Militia books looking for our Lewis. He is not listed in any of the indexes, as only officers' names appear there. I could not find specific battles in which his company participated, although Georgians seem to have fought more Indians than Brits. In fact, I didn't find much at all, but some of it might be of interest to some of you.

Note: Lewis (Louis) Mozingo served in Captain Edmond Hopson�s company of the 3rd Regiment, Georgia State Troops. The 3rd was commanded by Colonel Ignatius Alphonso Few. This information comes from the muster rolls and pay records Samie posted on the Mozingo website. Few became a Methodist clergyman after the War, and in 1836, at the outbreak of the Creek war, organized the men of his congregation, in Columbus, into a city guard until more troops could be formally organized and armed.

VOLUNTEER COMPANY OF LIGHT INFANTRY, 21ST BATTALION, 1812

On 20 November 1812, the governor commissioned the following officers for the Volunteer Company of Light Infantry attached to the 21st Battalion: CPT Edmund Hopson, LT William Hopson and ENS Archibald McNeil.

Captain Hopson�s Company of Light Infantry subsequently went into federal service as one of ten companies formed as the 3rd Regiment (First Requisition), Georgia State Troops (also found as �Georgia Militia�) and commanded by COL Ignatius A. Few, September 1814-March 1815.

Another unit raised during that war was the 3rd Regiment (First Requisition), Georgia State Troops (also found as �Georgia Militia�) in federal service, commanded by COL Ignatius A. Few, September 1814-March 1815. There were ten companies in this regiment, including those of CPT Edmund Hopson (Volunteer Company of Light Infantry formerly attached to the 21st Battalion, G.M.)����also raised in Washington County. * Pg 154-155, Vol 3, History of the Georgia Militia, 1783-1861

Note from Linda: The 21st was �raised in Washington County�, so it is probable that Lewis was part of Hopson�s Light Infantry prior to their being attached to COL Few�s 3rd Regiment. I have ordered a referenced listing of Hopson�s roster from the Georgia Archives.
*Major General Thomas Pinckney issued yet another requisition on the governor of Georgia for Georgia infantrymen to serve for six months on the coast around Savannah. This became the 3rd Regiment (First Requisition), Georgia State Troops (also found as �Georgia Militia�) in United States service, commanded by COL Ignatius A. Few, September 1814-March-1815. Colonel Few�s regiment reached its encampment on 7 October 1814. from Volume 1, page 135

I ran across the recipe for parched corn flour, dated 23 August 1814 and I had to send it to you, because I thought it was interesting. I hope you agree. This is from pages 154-155 in Volume 1.

"Benjamin Hawkins, the Indian Agent, offered his advice to the military on the preparation of parched corn flour so as to keep it for lengthy periods of time.

PARCHED CORN FLOUR,
New corn in the roast ear state, is boiled half done, dried a few days in the sun, shelled,
and parched in ashes. The ashes are sifted of impurities, the corn put in a pot dutch-
oven or other convenient cooking utensil with the ashes, and kept stirred over hot
ember or a slow fire till it is done thoroughly, of a yellow or pale brown colour-then made
into flour.

If the corn is hard, it requires more boiling, but the same process in parching, and making
into flour. The first requires no sugar, the second does. Three spoons full is enough for
a pint. It is an excellent substitute for coffee in an army-is ready cooked and convenient
on a march, after a battle, and in the hospitals. The writer of this article has often used
it, and has kept it nine months free from mouldiness, and perfectly good. The Indians
use it constantly in traveling, and in their wars, and when wounded use no other food.

The period is at hand for making the first which is the best and it being probably my
fellow citizens will have occasion for much of it in all parts of the United States, I hope
the printers in every state will give it a place in their papers.

Benjamin Hawkins,
Creek Agency, 23rd August, 1814
