Louis served in the War of 1812. He enlisted (volunteered) at Detroit, July 2, 1812, and was honorably discharged at Detroit Aug. 16, 1812. He served as a private in Capt. Knagg's company of the Michigan Militia. Eve stated she believed he also served in another company but couldn't provide any details. Eve applied for and was granted a Widow's pension related to Louis' military service during the war.
Further research finds Louis was a private under Capt. Whitmore Knaggs. He enlisted at Detroit. The company was stationed south of Detroit at Capt Knagg's home on Knaggs Creek. When Detroit was taken by the British on August 16, 1812 soldiers were pardoned to go home. Louis also was a private in what was known as Audrain's spies from July 1, 1814 to July 31, 1814.
Also during 1814, American spies were active along the Detroit frontier. Though little is known of their activities, spies were organized into at least two companies, commnded by James H. Audrain and Andrew Westbrook, and gathered intelligence about British and Indian activities in the Detroit River area. Had 134 on roster
Throughout the spring of 1814, the Indians and the British in Canada remained a concern. To keep tabs on this situation, in May, Cass accepted the services of Andrew Westbrook's 26-man detachment of spies he had recruited from among fellow expatriate Canadians and Michigan residents. During June, still another alarm of Indians massing to attack prompted the commander at Detroit to activate for one month James Audrain's 133-man spy company and also to send Westbrook's men scouting in Canada. Westbrook reported some British activity. To counter this, during July, Cass detailed two small raiding parties to Port Talbot and to Oxford and then sent a third party to that same region in August.
The Michigan Territory had an inordinately large number of men on the rolls of "Spy" companies. [53] Spy, in this case, meant scout or ranger. The nature of these companies and the duties they performed were not conducive to attention. Similarly, the most important duty of the other Michigan units, that of protecting the territory's homes, did not bring them to center stage.
Detroit in 1812 had a population somewhere between 800 to 1200.
Louis is mentioned as half brother to Mary Louise at her wedding to Andrew Murrey-
Is he the son of Joseph and Josephine Moret??
