John Whistler-- Part 3: War of 1812

He was recalled to Detroit in 1810 from Fort Dearborn and was evidently in command before William Hull.

During the War of 1812, he was brevetted to major and served with his company until 1815.

I was unable to find out anything more about his War of 1812 service other than this.  It would be interesting to know if he was surrendered by William Hull at Detroit.  His previous British military service would have made for an interesting case.

After the war, he became military storekeeper at Newport, Kentucky.  In 1816, he was sent to Fort Wayne, Indiana, where he built the third fort there (he had also been involved in the construction of the first two forts there as well).
