Major General Amos Hall-- Part 3: War of 1812 Service

In 1800, Amos Hall became a brigadier general in the Ontario and Steuben county militias.  He served in western New York state throughout the War of 1812.

In December 1813, he became temporary commander of American troops gathering near Buffalo and was the American commander at the Battle of Buffalo on December 30, 1813.  This battle ranks as a U.S, debacle and brought dishonor to him.

After the war, he returned to West Bloomfield.
