Served as a Private in a Light Horse company commanded by Capt John Dempsey in a regiment commanded by Col. Dyer in the Creek War and war with Great Britain declared June 18, 1812. Samuel volunteered and was mustered into the service of the U.S. at Bedford County Tennessee "some time in the fall of A.D.1814 for a term of three months and continued in actual service in said war for three months and was formally discharged at Fayetteville, Lincoln County some time in the month of January A.D. 1814". In his request for bounty land warrant he declared his discharges were lost or mislaid. He declared he served again as a private in a light horse company commanded by Cpt.

Dyer in the War with Great Britain and that he volunteered at Bedford County Tennessee and again mustered in at Fayetteville, Lincoln County, Tennessee in the fall of 1814 for a term of six months. He was honorably discharged at New Orleans sometime in A.D.1815. He refers to the company return rolls to substantiate the dates/places of his service as he lost the discharge document. Congress passed an act 28 Sep 1850 granting land for military service and Samuel applied for this bounty on 16 Apr 1851 while residing in Jackson county, Arkansas.

From Regimental Histories of Tennessee Units During the war of 1812 (on-line at TN Secretary of State):
COLONEL NEWTON CANNON
•DESIGNATION: 2nd Regiment of Volunteer Mounted Riflemen
•DATES: September 1813 - December 1813
•MEN MOSTLY FROM: Bedford, Rutherford, Smith, Dickson, Franklin, Lincoln, Sumner, Williamson, and Wilson Counties
•CAPTAINS: Robert Allen, George Brandon, Ota Cantrell, John B. Demsey, William Edwards, John Hanby, John Harpole, David Hogan, Francis Jones, William Martin, Andrew Patterson, James Walton, Isaac Williams, Thomas Yardley
BRIEF HISTORY:
Along with Colonel John Alcorn's regiment, this unit was part of General John Coffee's brigade that conducted the first campaign into the Creek Nation. Marching from Fayetteville, they went through Huntsville; crossed the Tennessee River at Ditto's Landing (mid-October 1813); stopped at Fort Strother; and fought in the battles at Tallushatchee and Talladega (3 November and 9 November 1813). Muster rolls show that just about every company in this regiment suffered casualties in these battle.
This is a description of Samuel's first enlistment in the War of 1812.
COLONEL ROBERT DYER•DESIGNATION: 1st Regiment of West Tennessee Volunteer Mounted Gunmen
•DATES: September 1814 - March 1815
•MEN MOSTLY FROM: Davidson, Dickson, Williamson, Bedford, Maury, Montgomery, Rutherford, Smith, and Stewart Counties
•CAPTAINS: Bethel Allen, Ephraim D. Dickson, Robert Edmonston, Robert Evans, Cuthbert Hudson, Thomas Jones, James McMahon, Glen Owen, Thomas White, Joseph Williams, James Wyatt
BRIEF HISTORY:
Part of Coffee's brigade at New Orleans, most of this regiment took part in the night battle of 23 December 1814. Most of the company muster rolls show casualties from this engagement. Portions of this regiment also participated in the capture of Pensacola from the Spanish in West Florida (7 November 1814). The initial rendezvous point for this unit was Fayetteville, Tennessee. From there they passed through Fort Hampton, to Baton Rouge, and finally to New Orleans"We possess microfilmed copies of the Tennessee muster rolls from the War of 1812 but, unfortunately, they are of such poor quality that we do not make mail-order copies. However, I did look at the roll for Captain John B. Dempsey of the 2nd Regiment of Volunteer Mounted Riflemen and located the name of Samuel Graham on that roll, verifying his service in that unit. He served from 24 September 1813 to 22 December 1813. There is a good possibility that Graham lived in Bedford County, as that was the county where his captain resided. Also, for your information, a Richard Graham was listed on the same roll as Samuel
In regard to two enlistments by Samuel Graham: since enlistment periods were relatively short in the War of 1812, many individuals did serve more than once. This is true in the case of Samuel (and Richard) Graham. You already know of their term of service in Cannon's regiment. Apparently, both Grahams also did a tour of duty in Colonel Robert Dyer's 1st Regiment of Tennessee Mounted Volunteer Gunmen. The captain's name was Ephraim Dickson who, by the way, was from Bedford County. Richard and Samuel served from 28 September 1814 to 28 March 1815. And Richard did apply for bounty land after the war, although neither Richard nor Samuel have a pension application on file. The Bounty Land file for Richard Graham is listed as BLW 13649-160-50. Again, the National Archives should have this file under that numerical designation."

Mancel Crisp [Parents] was born 1 on 28 Jun 1764. He died 2 on 12 May 1850 in Hardeman Co., TN. The cause of death was pleurisy. He married Margaret Rogers.
The following bible record was copied by Roy Watterson Black, of Bolivar, Hardeman Co. TN, many years ago. It was written in pencil in a tablet. There is no note about who was the owner of the bible at the time RWB copied from it. His penmanship is often hard to read when hurriedly done. The first Elihu's middle name DOES appear to be "Cresswell" in RWB's copy!

they could easily come in through a wife along the way and we would not know it since the Boone name would not carry forward. There was also a Daniel Boone Crisp in Arkansas who is s/o Ansil Crisp II (Ark) who was s/o Ansil Crisp I (KY-Ark) who was s/o Abel Crisp (NC-KY). This is in addition to the Daniel Boone Crisp of NC.
There was a close but no marriage connection to Davy Crockett. Mansil Crisp and Davy Crockett moved along together and appear together in several place in TN. There was an exchange of power of attorney and David Crockett md. one of Mansil Crisp's daughters. One source says "Mansil Crisp was like a father to Davy Crockett"... probably stretching things a bit but they clearly were close friends.
Mansil Crisp and Davy Crockett did much the same things but Mansil Crisp was not at the Alamo."partly reared David Crockett" from Biograpphical Souvenir
