Ancestry Saturday: Was George F. Platt at the Battle of Lake Erie?

UPDATE:  On April 15, 2016 at the Pennsylvania Archives, I came to be convinced that the George Platt on the Brig Niagara is NOT George F. Platt of Venango County.  A book titled "Officers and Enlisted Men Who Died in the Active Service of the U.S. Navy 1776-1885" contained a George Platt "Lake Erie Squad" dying 11 Jan 1814.  This and the lack of finding proof otherwise has caused me to conclude that George F. Platt, my third great grandfather was not on the Brig Niagara.

The records show George Platt was wounded while a seaman on the Brig Niagra at the Battle of Lake Erie.  With multiple sources, there's little doubt of that fact.

The mystery question is, "Was that George Platt the same George F. Platt who was my third great grandfather?"  There's evidence he may be.  I'm hoping I can find some certainty before the 101st Anniversary of the Battle of Lake Erie on September 10, 2014.

Here's what I have:

The 132nd Regiment of the Pennsylvania Militia was among the regiments that were at Lake Erie in the Summer of 1813.  Many of those troops were "federalized" and many ended up on the U.S. fleet at the Battle of Lake Erie.

My third great grandfather, George F. Platt, was a War of 1812 veteran with his known service being with the 132nd Regiment's Second Company of the Pennsylvania Militia.

One pension record, though, states his service started in October 1813.  If that were true, he wasn't at the September 10, 1813 Battle of Lake Erie.  That date, though, was stated by his wife and daughter in affidavit's for his pension in 1868 so being off by one month in service start dates is very possible.

One county history book states that James Platt, brother of George F. Platt, was at the Battle of Lake Erie.  I can't find any James Platt, though, was among the Battle noteworthy seamen.  None of the muster rolls of the ships at the Battle of Lake Erie contain any other matching names to the 132nd Regiment, except that of George Platt.

Then, there's the George Platt who is reported at the Battle of Lake Erie aboard the Niagra.  Several sources confirm that.

But, as of yet, I cannot conclude that George Platt on Niagra was the same George Platt whose son Amos, had a son Royal, who had a son, Richard, who had a son John, and who had a son, Rick, me.

I'm looking.
