cannon ball

I live not far from the Canoe Creek here in St Clair County and I know from the past some cannon balls have been found in the county that were identified as being from Gen Jackson's war with the Indians in this area. Without the information in front of me I don't think any of the Jackson forces used 12"ers. A freind and myself did research on this while trying to find the location of Ft Strother here in the county, but this was several years ago. At present I'm trying to trace my ancestors back to the CW. and I like all the post I see here. This is one of the best sites I have found.
