- Fort Nassau, at least three of them, established by the Dutch:
- One on Manhattan([HAHR 4:601])
- another on the Delaware River ([PHMB 33:4]; [Fiske, The Dutch and Quaker Colonies in America, Chapter 5, pp129 ff.] (Beaver Road Fort); action by the English, [Fiske, Chapter 6, p141]; [Fiske, Chapter 8, p207]; note for self: MACPRI 8)

March 5
- In [Cullum 614] and [Cullum 888] a Fort Croghan, Iowa is mentioned in 1842‑43; no details.
- In [Cullum 575] and [Cullum 984] a Fort Sandford, IA is mentioned, also in 1842‑43; no details. ▸ This may well be the same as Fort Sanford, for which I have fairly full information onsite at [The Opening of the Des Moines Valley to Settlement, Part 2]; it's also mentioned in [Ch. 12 of Ioway to Iowa] and in passing in [Cullum 839].
- In [Cullum 1318] I find a Fort Ripley, Kan.
- In [Cullum 1139] Fort Gaines is specifically said to be "near Fort Ripley". ▸ ?? <== I think they are the same Fort Gaines was renamed Fort Ripley on 4 Nov 1850.
- ▸ Then why would he write "Ft. Gaines near Ft. Ripley"?
March 4
- Camp Jackson, I.T. [not the one that became Fort Jackson (4)] is mentioned twice in Cullum in the year 1833: [310], [650],
- Camp Jackson, Mo. probably the same one, appears several times as captured by the Union in 1861.
- I also find a Camp Jackson in Gayarre's History of Louisiana, [(V.11)], in that State during the War of 1812, in connection with Gen. Jackson himself.
- Fort Barnwell in Florida: "was engaged against the Seminole Indians in Defense of Ft. Barnwell (Volusia), Apr. 12, 1836". [11],
