Documentation: According to Lydia Suzannah Stafford Howard Franklin Younger 
(she married three known husbands, and two more by oral history, Thigpen and 
Thomas) on her application for War of 1812, widow's pension which she tried 
to obtain for two husbands said to have served, she states Edward Lemuel Howard 
served as a powder monkey (a boy aged 8-13 who would run powder to the cannons 
during battles.) during War of 1812, with a officer named James Tilton (she 
stated her memory was faulty, but a Nathaniel Tilton is listed on the USS 
Peacock, a sloop Aug 29, 1814, who conquered HMS Eperier, and two were wounded.  
Lydia stated her husband was wounded in the leg and another was wounded in the 
ankle.  The Eperier and Peacock went to Savannah, where these two were probably 
let out of service. .
