The list that has been prepared will further along show who many of these brave boys were and where they belonged. although for years they have been in their
graves, yet after almost one hundred years their memory shall be kept green.
The governor gave General Munger command at Piqua and had the stores re- moved to Dayton. The whole country was thoroughly aroused to a sense of the emi- nent danger that threatened the frontiers. Troops were rapidly pushed forward to re- sist the expected attack of the English and Indians, led by the infamous Proctor and Tecumseh, in the main, whose scattering bands were infesting the isolated settle- ments. The excitement was intense : all men capable of bearing arms were scouting or in the army. The women and children were huddled together in block-houses. In this connection we submit the following from Hugh Andrew, who is still remem- bered by many persons living today. He says :
"Hull, who surrendered at Detroit, was commander of all the northwestern armies, except a few companies of rangers quar- tered in block-houses. Prior to his defeat he was encamped at Dayton, and I was then a private. I was on duty during a greater portion of the war, but did not en- gage in any active battle. My company was encamped some time on the Sandusky river. One night I was detailed for guard duty : nothing unusual occurred until the clawning of the morning, when I heard the rustling of the thicket a short distance from my post: peering through the semi-dark- ness. I saw a dark object approaching. could not discern its features, but con- cluded naturally that they were those of an Indian. It came yet a little closer and stopped. I brought my gun to my shoul- Kler and took aim and fired. A loud re- port and all was silent, and when the smoke

had cleared away I perceived the object had vanished. Upon being relieved I went to the spot where I had seen the Indian tas I supposed ). saw spots of blood, by which I tracked him to the rear of the guard house, thence farther beyond the limits of the camp where I discovered the carcass of a hog, that had strayed from some settle- ment. Thus ended my experience in In- dian killing.
"The announcement of Hull's surrender reached Nenia on the Sabbath day, while the people were attending worship. They were panic stricken as it was considered that we were on the frontier and liable to be invaded by the British armies without a moment's warning. Simultaneously with the news of the surrender an order was is- sued requesting the First Regiment, com- posed partly of Greene county men, to re- port at Yellow Springs on the following morning ( Monday) at ten o'clock. I was then in my eighteenth year, in the vigor of youth, and mounting my horse, rode to Xenia. Here we equipped ourselves with the necessaries of war, and were on the ground at the appointed time. We did camp duty that night, and on the morrow marched to Urbana, where we remained several days. A large concourse of people had been gathered here from all parts of this section, who were willing and anxious to answer the country's call. After several days' delay, and a protracted discussion. it was decided that a portion of the First Regiment would proceed northward, while all others should return to their homes and await further orders. In 1813 Fort Meigs was beseiged by the British and Indians. AA call was made for a volunteer regiment of mounted militia. I volunteered with al out seven hundred from this county. We
were out a short time, and then ordered to go back to Nenia. On our return we were met by a call for volunteers to be stationed at Fort McArthur, until the arrival of a drafted company. I volunteered again, and at the expiration of twenty days we were relieved by a company in clíarge of Captain Robert McClellan, from Sugarcreek town- ship. Greene county.
"In the month of August, 1813. there was an urgent call for a company of volun- teers to guard a train of provisions which was being conveyed from Fort Mc Arthur to Fort Finley. Together with fifty-one others I answered the call. The train con- sisted «[ pack-horses loaded with bacon. to secure the safe delivery of which it was necessary to provide a strong guard. The service was performed successfully, and the company voted to join a detachment near Upper Sandusky. Upon our arrival it was whispered that the camp was surrounded by Indians. At night the fires were put out. the sentry called in, and arrangements made to march to an open plain, where we could more successfully defend ourselves. which place was reached in safety. We waded the river and took possession of Fort Wall. then unoccupied. On the fol- lowing day we marched to Upper San- dusky.
"During the battle of Lower Sandusky (or Fort Stephenson) our forces were commanded by General Corwin. He took possession of the fort, but was ordered by General Harrison to evacuate the same. Harrison was well aware that the enemy far exceeded the American forces in point of numbers, and concluded that the latter must withdraw at once to avoid overwhelm- ing defeat. Corwin was loath to leave be- hind him the provisions and equipments.

and disobeyed orders. Under his direction a number of men were detailed to strength- en the fort, and dig a trench around the same. On top of the wall was placed a huge cannon, charged with log chains. When the British began to storm the fort they descended to the ditch. Here they were charged upon and slain by the hun- dreds and ere long beat a hasty retreat. leaving behind a number of prisoners. Corwin was promoted on the spot, and re- mained in the regular service until the commencement of the Civil war, at which time he died in New Orleans."
Sugarcreek township was well repre- sented in the war of 1812. Captain Ammi Maltbie of that township had the honor of erecting a block-house at what was called McPherson's Station. There were several stations in Logan county, namely : Man- ary's. McPherson's, Vance's and Isaac Zane's. Manary's was built by Captain James Manary, of Ross county, and was situated three miles north of Bellefontaine. on the farm of John Laney. McPherson's, as has been stated, was built by Captain Maltbie and his men, and was situated three-fourths of a mile northwest of Belle- fontaine. Vance's, built by Ex-Governor Vance, then captain of a Rifle Company. stood on a high bluff on the margin of a prairie, about a mile east of Logansville. Zane's was at Zanesfield. This Isaac Zane deserves more than a passing notice. In the first organization of Greene county Isaac Zane's name appears upon the enu- meratien list of Beavercreek township, one ci the four townships into which Greene county had been divided. Ilis name also appears among sundry court papers, where he had business with the courts of this coun- ty while he was a citizen of the county.
He was born about 1753. south of the Potomac in Virginia, and at the age of nine years was taken prisoner by the Wyandots and carried to Detroit. He remained with- his captors until the age of manhood, when like mest prisoners taken in youth, he re- fused to return to his friends and home. He married a Wyandot woman from Can- ada, of half French blood, and took no part in the war of the Revolution. After the treaty of Greenville in 1795. he bought a tract of eighteen hundred acres on the site of Zanesfield, where he lived until his death in 18:6. At the breaking out of the war many hundred friendly Indians were col- lected and stationed at Zane's and McPher- son's Block-houses, under the protection of the government who for a short time kept a guard of soldiers over them. It was at first feared that they would take up arms against the Americans, but subsequent events dissipating their apprehensions they were allowed to disperse.
Major James Galloway was up in that part of the country in 1800, and there is no doubt but that he was well acquainted with Zane, McPherson and other noted pioneers of that section. Years afterward he gave from memory his recollection of that part which had been formerly Greene county. Major James Galloway was on the River Raisin under General Tupper in the de- tense of the frontier, being appointed to the position of major and in that capacity he served during the campaign. Little can be found among the records of our county in reference to the war of 1812. Among Majer Galloway's private papers can be found here and there indications of his services as major in the First Regiment. which was called inte the service of the United States during the war. Receipts

had been given by the five captains who were under him for the supplies that were needed in the service. The first one was for ten blankets for the company of Captain Samuel Black, date. November 6, 1812. place, Camp McArthur. Under the same date and place and for same supplies. signed Captain Jacob Shingledecker. Cap- tain Martin Armstrong. John Owens and James Redding. Same place, date and sup- plies, and again later, January 30, 1813. received of Major Galloway one common tent, and one.camp kettle. Signed J. Tay- lor. And again February 27, 1813 to Major Galloway, one wall tent and camp kettle. Signed. C. S. Mur ; place, Miami Rapids. From the above receipts we would infer that Captains Samuel Black, Jacch Shingledecker. Martin Armstrong. James Redding and J. Taylor were the comman.1- ers of companies under Major Galloway.
Another instance brings to our recol- lection that grand old pioneer preacher, the Rev. Robert Armstrong, who was the pas- ter of Massiescreek congregation ( Steven- son's) for seventeen years. It is said of him that once during the war of 1812 word came on the Sabbath while they were con- gregated for worship that the Indians were expected to show hostilities immediately. The people were dismissed in the midst of his sermon and the preacher and his Hock returned to the nearest house and began mekling bullets and otherwise preparing for war, and not far away was heard the sound of the hammer in a blacksmith's shop of parties engaged in making knives. tomahawks and other articles that could be used in a hand-to-hand contest, but fortu- nately no violence was attempted among them.
is ro wender that in the late Civil
war there were so many recruits raised in the neighborhood of Clark's Run, and the old church yard. for in it lie buried some twenty-five or thirty of those who partici- patel in the War of 1812. And besides these there are also some nine or ten who were soldiers in the War of the Revolution. the ancestors of the "Boys in Blue." "Blood is thicker than water, and will tell." a saying that was manifest in the recruits of the late war to a remarkable extent.
That part of Xenia township lying north and west of the Little Miami river, embrac- ing one school sub-district and a fractional part of another. contained, during the Civil war, between twenty-five and thirty voters: it> enthusiasm was so great that it fur- nished thirty-seven recruits for the army, a matter perhaps unparalleled in the whole Union. About one-third were boys under twenty years of age.
