I am studying a certain family which is connected to our house built in
1812.

The person is named Capt. Charles Wills (1775-1820).

Problem is that I find him serving in two different regiments during the
War of 1812 but only as "private".  Yet, he is known as "Captain".  I
haven't found any ship link but possibly he was made that rank in the
local Camp Holly Militia after the war?

How can I find out?

Thanks!
Eric
