During the War of 1812, Paul “Willcott” served as a private in the 3rd York Militia. A Jonathan Wilcott/Wolcott served in the same regiment.

From Nov. 23 to Dec. 24, 1812, he served in Captain Thomas Hamilton’s Company. [2]

I have added information to this profile as a project manager with the wikitree Upper Canada War of 1812 Project and linked it to the project pages. I am not related to this family.

Please email me, if you have questions about this war and other veterans and their families.

I am currently reviewing the 3rd York Militia documents online and may be adding more information to this profile in the coming months.
