Re: Louisiana Militia European Brigade / Spanish R

The European Brigade consisted of foreign citizens who volunteered to serve in national units to 'defend' New Orleans. The 5th Regiment of the brigade was called the Spanish Legion and was commanded by Commandant P. Avendano. The regiment had 10 companies but saw no action, but help enforce law and order after the Federal Fleet arrived off the Crescent City. What was your ancestor's name?
