Pvt., 23rd Regiment, United States Infantry, War of 1812. He enlisted in 1813 at age 16. Son of Jacob and Catherine (Cunningham) Ozmun. Enlistment gives place of birth as Genoa, New York. Death date is estimated.
James W. married Margaret Martin, daughter of Thomas and Catherine (Kennedy) Martin, May 14, 1818, Portage County, Ohio. Their marriage license, dated May 06, 1818, was signed by John Cunningham.
They were the parents of:
Catherine (Ozmun) Reece-Allen (1819-1898)
Philemon A. Ozmun, b. Dec. 19, 1821, d.y.
Eliza V. (Ozmun) Force (1824 - abt. 1855)
Julia M. (Ozmun) Force-Case (1826-1905).
His widow, Margaret Martin, married (2) Jacob Force, August 2, 1831, Portage County, Ohio. Their first child, Mary Jane Force, was born in September 1832. Mary Jane Force was the wife of Salmon Norton Weston.
(Pvt.) James W. Ozmun enlisted in the 23rd United States Infantry in 1813, at age 16, for a period of 5 years. The 23rd United States Infantry was first organized by an Act of Congress on 26 June, 1812. This Regiment took part in thirteen battles and skirmishes during the War of 1812, including Sacketts Harbor, Lundy's Lane, and Fort Eire. In 1815, elements of the Regiment, along with other units, were consolidated to form the present 2nd United States Infantry. The Regiment then ceased to exist until after the Civil War, when the 2nd Battalion of the 14th U.S. Infantry was redesignated as the 23rd Infantry. This Battalion had been organized in 1862, and served throughout the Civil War, amassing honors that are indicated by eleven of the streamers flying from the pikehead of the Regimental colors.
There is a rough stone on Lot 112 of this cemetery that some believe marks the final resting place of James' father, Jacob Ozmun, who came to Boston Township about 1811, and by 1816 his widow's name appears on the property tax rolls. This rough stone may in fact be for (Pvt.) James W. Ozmun, who died about 1830.
