I am amongst other things a collector of Militaria & Antique Arms, I have a Indian pattern musket (Brown Bess) made by Robert Wheeler in London with inspectors marksfor 1799 which has been branded with the name J. Simpson and a second line which means nothing to me, it contains a series of letters and numbers
??URN-188.
I purchased it in New England USA it is possible that it was a musket captured during the war of 1812 between the USA and Great Britain.
Any ideas as to its history or does it have a family connection to a soldier from your family who fought in the 1812 war.
