From the Military History of Scioto County from 1812 to 1865. This is a chapter in the book "History of Lower Scioto Valley Ohio."
In 1813, a regiment was called out for short service, just 60 days, but did not stay in the field for long.
It was commanded by Colonel Peter Noel. Was he the same one who was a private in David Roop's company from 1812?
Captain Thomas Morgan commanded a company. Also Captain John Lindsay, who was captain of the first rifle organized in town or county.
Among the volunteers in July 1813 were Willaim B. Scott, John Funk, Jacob Woodbridge, John Lindsey, Thomas Morgan and Samuel Marshall.
I also wrote about a Captain John Storer's Scioto company last week which served July 28, 1813, to August 28, 1813.
