Also, it seems that most of the relevant records in the FHLC are under "Ontario," with the following counties having some kind of military records for the War of 1812 - Essex, Kent, Glengarry, Lambton, Leeds, Norfolk, Oxford and York, although most are militia records. I'll keep looking and see if there's anything else that's of use.
