The Wikipedia article on Butler's Rangers had a list of officers who served with John Butler. One of them was William Caldwell who not only was in the American Revolution, but also served with his own company of rangers in the War of 1812.
WILLIAM CALDWELL
(1750 - 20 February 1822)
Irish-born, military officer and colonial official who fought against the Americans in the Revolution as a member of Butler's Rangers and helped found the town of Amherstburg near the mouth of the Detroit River (near Detroit).
During the American Revolution he demonstrated a ruthlessness that Americans would not forget. After the war, he settled in the Detroit region on land he was granted for his war experience.
