With reference to the cases of those who were made prisoners by the cavalry, as well as of many pro- scribed but not captured, formal investigations were made under the direction of Judge Peters, in the course of which it was made apparent that informa- tion had been made against many who had really been guilty of no offense against the government. Many of those arrested were taken to Pittsburgh. Some were released through the interposition of influential friends, while others less fortunate were sent to Phil- adelphia, where they were imprisoned for some months.
Of those who were arrested while the army was in this region, one, and only one, was of Fayette County. This was Caleb Mounts. He was taken East with the forces of the right wing, but it was afterwards found that he was innocent, having been in Kentucky at the time when the riotous proceedings occurred. In re- gard to the taking of this person, Findley says, "Isaac Meason, a judge of Fayette County, followed
180
HISTORY OF FAYETTE COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA.
Judge Peters near forty miles into Bedford County, and offered himself and Judge Wells, of Bedford, both of them acknowledged friends of the government, as bail for the prisoner, but was absolutely refused. As Mr. Meason knew that the prisoner was guilty of no crime, which evidently appeared to be the case by no bill being found against him on his trial, he and Mr. Wells complain of the judge for not admitting him to bail on their application. Judge Peters being well known to be a man of feeling and humanity, his conduct in this and several other instances can only be accounted for from his apprehension that it was necessary that a considerable number of prisoners should be brought down in order to prevent the in- flammatory part of the army from committing out- rages at leaving the country." This last remark of Findley seems too clearly absurd to require contra- diction. Only two prisoners were taken by the army in Westmoreland County. One of these was after- wards discharged for the reason that no bill was found against him. The other, a very ignorant man of most violent temper, and said to be subject to fits of tempo- rary insanity, was found guilty of setting fire to the house of the Fayette County collector, Benjamin Wells, and was sentenced to death, but was reprieved, and finally pardoned by the President of the United States. The principal witness against this man on his trial was said to have been a chief leader of the rioters who attacked Wells' house, but one of those included in the pardon of the commander-in-chief.
In August, 1795, general pardons to those who had been implicated in the insurrection and who had not subsequently been indicted or convicted were pro- claimed by President Washington and Governor Mifflin, in pursuance of the agreement made in the previous year at Pittsburgh by the United States and Pennsylvania commissioners.
CHAPTER XVI.
FAYETTE COUNTY IN THE WAR OF 1812-15 AND MEXICAN WAR.
IMMEDIATELY after the declaration of war by the United States against England, in 1812, recruiting was commenced in Fayette County for the formation of companies to take the field in the government ser- vice. The first company completed was that of Thomas Collins, of Uniontown, which marched from the county-seat in August of that year. The service of this company was performed at Oswego, Sackett's Harbor, and other points along the lake frontier in Northern New York, under Maj. John Ilerkimer.
A company raised and commanded by Capt. John Phillips was completed, and left the county at about the same time as Capt. Collins', and served in the same command under Maj. Herkimer.
Capt. James Whaley, of Connellsville, raised and commanded a company which left the county in Sep- tember of the same year. On the day of their de- parture from Connellsville they were entertained at the public-house of David Barnes (afterwards the Page House), where they were addressed in a patriotic strain by Father Connelly, and after the conclusion of these ceremonies moved across the river to a camp in the limits of the present borough of New Haven. Thence they marched to Pittsburgh, where they were mustered into the service Oct. 2, 1812. The company being assigned to duty under Col. Robert Patterson, moved from Pittsburgh to Fort Meigs, and was incor- porated with the forces that fought in the campaign under Gen. William H. Harrison, afterwards Presi- dent of the United States.
Capt. Andrew Moore, of Wharton township, raised and commanded a company, which was mustered on the 2d of October, 1812, and served under command of Brig .- Gen. Richard Crooks.
Capt. Joseph Wadsworth's company was raised in Fayette County, and mustered into service at the same time as Moore's and Whaley's companies, and served with the latter under Col. Robert Patterson.
Capt. Peter Hertzog, of Spring Hill township, com- manded a company recruited by him in Fayette County. It was mustered into service Oct. 2, 1812, and was assigned to duty with the forces of Gen. Richard Crooks.
A company of light dragoons was raised by Capt. James McClelland, and mustered into service for one year on the 5th of October, 1812. This company formed part of a squadron under command of Lieut .- Col. James V. Ball.
Capt. John McClean commanded a company of in- fantry raised in Fayette County and vicinity in 1812. Its principal service was at Erie, Pa.
The companies of Capt. William Craig and Isaac Linn went from Fayette County in the early part of 1813. These companies, with that of Capt. MeClean, were in the force of one thousand militia commanded by Col. Rees Hill, and stationed at Erie, Pa. Volun- teers from this command were engaged on Commodore Perry's squadron at the time of the battle of Lake Erie and capture of the British fleet, in consideration of which service the Legislature passed a resolution directing the Governor to present a silver medal, en- graved with such emblematic devices as he might think proper, to each man (if a citizen of Pennsyl- vania) who so volunteered.
Capt. James Piper, of Uniontown, raised and com- manded a company of Fayette County volunteers, who served with the Fifth Detachment Pennsylvania Militia, under Col. James Fenton, at Buffalo, N. Y., in 1814.
Capt. Valentine Giesey, of Brownsville (who had been first a sergeant, and afterwards a second lieu- tenant in Capt. Joseph Wadsworth's company), raised a company numbering one hundred and eighteen
181

men and officers, who left this county in November, 1814. Just before their departure the Rev. William Johnson, pastor of the Presbyterian Church at Browns- ville, preached a patriotic sermon from the text, "Cursed be he that doeth the work of the Lord de- ceitfully ; and cursed be he that keepeth back his sword from blood."1 The company marched hence to Baltimore, Md., but while on their way there they were met by a messenger bearing orders for their re- turn. The eagerness of officers and men for active service was so great, however, that while the com- pany halted and remained at Hagerstown, Capt. Giesey pushed on to Washington City, where by his importunity he prevailed on the Secretary of War to accept the service's of the company, and order them forward to report to Gen. Scott, at Baltimore. On arriving there, Capt. Giesey, accompanied by his second lieutenant, Shuman, repaired to the headquar- ters, where he reported to Seott in person. The general examined the captain's order, and remarked, in some surprise, "What! from Western Pennsyl- vania ?" "Yes, sir, from Western Pennsylvania," answered Giesey. "Well, Capt. Giesey," said the general, " you must have a very patriotic company of men." "I hope I have, sir," replied the captain. Gen. Scott continued the conversation for a short time, expressing the hope that the men of the com- pany might have an opportunity to show their sol- dierly qualities, and finished by ordering them to duty with the Second Regiment of Maryland Militia. Three days later the company left Baltimore for Annapolis, where they remained until after the declaration of peace, when they were mustered out of service and returned to their homes.
The rolls of the above-mentioned companies (ex- cept Capt. Giesey's) are here given as copied from the " Muster-Rolls of the War of 1812-14," published under authority of the State.
