Absolutely. He is an important figure in the history of the Arkansas Militia. He comes to Arkansas Post as a young man late in the 1780s, serves in the French/Spanish Militia through the 1790's, apparently served in the Louisiana Regiment of Spanish Forces that conducted a campaign along the lower Mississippi and Gulf during the American Revolution. He is listed as the first commander of the militia in the District of Arkansas, and appears to have still been commanding militia in the area as late as April 1813. I see according to Find a Grave that he has both a Revolutionary War and a War of 1812 marker. I have found some information on the Revolutionary War service, although he actually served as an Allied Soldier (Spanish), not a colonial Soldier. I have not found records of his service in the War of 1812. This is actually the most interesting part to me. There are several cryptic references to members of the militia from what is now Arkansas serving in the war of 1812. A number of individuals from the 7th Regiment (Arkansas County) of the Missouri Militia applied for pay that was due them after the war. This lists includes Edmund Hogan who was the second Commander of the Arkansas Territorial Militia after Arkansas gained that status. Hogan's claim seems to be connected to the Missouri Ranger Companies that were raised under an act approved by Congress and saw a lot of action against Indians up in the Boone Lick area of Missouri. I would love to know more about the Arkansas Militia's connections to the War of 1812.
