Who Was Kervin Waters?-- Part 2: Born in Georgetown

Continued from January 8.

I have already written that he was native of Georgetown (near Washington, D.C.), and that he had been injured in the battle but not died until two years later.  During those two years, he was in great pain, but persevered stoically according to accounts.

From Find A Grave.

BIRTH:  1797  Georgetown, District of Columbia

DEATH:  25 September 1815, aged 17-18
