"WAR OF 1812--Stratford gave of her sons in this war as freely as in
Revolutionary times. Among those going as soldiers were Luther Fuller;
his sons Samuel and Calvin; Jerry, son of Hezekiah Fuller; William,
son of Isaac Merriam; and Haines French and his three sons. Samuel
Fuller died of measles; Calvin Fuller, of "spotted fever;"
Jerry Fuller had his head taken off by a cannon ball; William Merriam
was killed at the battle of Chippewa; Haines French died at Plattsburg;
and his son Homer was killed in battle. Probably no town in the state
lost so large a percentage of the soldiers sent in this war as did
Stratford"
