I have not seen this book yet, but it may hold more clues for you. It is available in several libraries including the LOV and UVA libraries.

He was at Camp Defiance. No mention of where this camp was located. He was discharged in 1815 at Norfolk. I found several different Camp Defiance listings from Google. One Google book result mentions a Camp Defiance near Norfolk, Virginia. This sounds like the place I'm looking for. But I cannot find anything useful about this Camp. Does anyone know of this place and where I can find more information on it, like it's location and other surrounding camps? Thanks in advance.
