Captains Roop and Lucas' Companies from Scioto County-- Part 1: Formation and March to Detroit
From the History of the Lower Scioto Valley, Ohio.
In the spring of 1812, Governor Meigs of Ohio issued a call for volunteers to defend the state from Indians and the increasing tension with England. He called for two regiments of volunteers and Scioto County provided two companies..
The first company was commanded by David Roop and went to Chillicothe where they received their arms and equipment. Then they went to Dayton where they met up with volunteers from Cincinnati and the Miami Valley. Here they were organized into the First Ohio regiment under the command of Col. Duncan McArthur.
From there they went to Urbana, then on the frontier. They joined the small army of General Hull and marched through the wilderness to Detroit.
