    Because of the outbreak of war from Napoleonic France, Britain decided to blockade the trade between the United States and the French. The US then fought this action and said it was illegal under international law. Britain supplied Native Americans who raided settlers living on the frontier and halting expansion westward. In 1814, one of the British raids stormed into Washington D.C. burning down the capital. Neither the Americans or the British wanted to continue fighting, so negotiations of peace began. After Treaty of Ghent was signed, Unaware of the treaty, British forces invaded Louisiana but were defeated in January 1815.

    Name Meaning

    Scottish (of Norman origin): habitational name from any of numerous places in Normandy, Brittany, and Maine in France named La Mare (‘the pool’), preceded by the French preposition de ‘of’. Introduced by the Normans, the name was later augmented by Huguenot bearers fleeing religious persecution in France and the Low Countries in the 16th century.

    English: possibly a habitational name from Delamere Forest (Cheshire), recorded as foresta de Mara in 1153–60. The name meant ‘(Forest) of the Pool’ (from Anglo-Norman French de la ‘from the’ + Middle English mere ‘pond’ or more ‘marsh, moor’), alluding to either Blakemere or Oakmere near Eddisbury, and its modern form is attributable to the continuity of the Anglo-French naming practices in written records. However, there is no clear evidence of a derived surname from the forest.
