Joseph Reily

Searching military records, I turned up a Joseph Reily, whom I do not know. He was with Keith‘s 5th Regiment SC militia (http://freepages.military.rootsweb.com. Source cited: Index to Compiled Service Records of Volunteer Soldiers who served during the War of 1812 in Organizations from the State of South Carolina. Microfilm ID M652, Record Group 94 from the National Archives).Perhaps this Joseph Reily is some of the family; maybe he is the one who is listed on the 1820 census in Sumter District. That one is living alone and was born about 1775- 1794. His age would fit with Samuel’s children, but he is not our Joseph Canty Reily.
