From the Sept. 15th Fayetteville (NC) Observer.
Bronze markers will be unveiled September 22nd at Cross Creek Cemetery No. 1 in downtown Fayetteville. They will be placed at the graves of four War of 1812 veterans including General Thomas Davis, Lt. John Eccles, Sgt. John Huske II and a private.
Afterwards, there will be a tour of the Fayetteville Transportation Museum's War of 1812 exhibit.
I was able to find out that Davis was a brigadier general of militia.
