Also, "Roll of Field and Staff, Williams Regiment, Kentucky Volunteers, of the War of 1812, and notes in organization and record of service, raised in pursuance of the address of 31st of July, of Isaac Shelby, Governor of Kentucky, and rendezvoused at Newport, Kentucky, August 31st, 1812 --  Commanded by Colonel William Williams.

Col. John Duvall-- Part 2: His War of 1812 Service

From Genealogy.com  by Walter Lynch.

Morris C. LeFever was inquiring about the roster of Captain John Pope Du Vall's 20th Infantry in Kentucky Militia War of 1812.  In particular, he wanted to know the kinship between DuVall, Stout, Jackson and some others.  Also, did the unit fight in Ohio?

Walter Lynch replied that he had found the name DuVall in two books on Kentucky soldiers in the War of 1812.  There was no reference to a 20th Infantry or battles the unit may have fought in.

From "Kentucky In the War of 1812" by Anderson Chenault Quisenberry.

"Boswell's Regiment, Kentucky Volunteer Light Infantry; 6th Company - Captain John DuVall;  Lieut., Richard Tyner; Ensign, James Stewart."

On another page he found:  "Captain John DuVall's company of Kentucky Detached  Militia, organized March 4, 1813.  Lieutenant William Brown;  Ensigns Richard Tyner and Daniel Johnson."

So, the rank of colonel came after 1813.
