I copied the following entries at the San Bruno (CA) branch of The National Archives from microfilm series M602 entitled "Index to Compiled Service Records of Volunteer Soldiers Who Served During the War of 1812."
There seems to have been a separate entry made each time a change in the spelling of the surname appears in the service records. Consequently, there were up to five cards (that I found) for some of these individuals. For the sake of brevity, I have included here only up to two name variations. However, as these soldiers are not fully identified in the index we cannot be sure that each name change listed does not constitute different individuals. Conversely, there are undoubtedly persons listed here more than once under different ranks and/or units.
Occasionally, these records would have other individuals in the same record listed under "See also..." or "Original filed under...". I have made separate footnotes, found at the end, for those instances except in those cases where the name found under "Original filed under" probably referred to no more than a spelling variation.
It is almost certain that I have made some transcription errors here. If you find any please let me know.
NOTE: the occasionally found "N.L." under the column for State stands for "not listed."
