I looked up this murder of Robert Buckles who died October 16, 1828,. He died Oct. 16, 1828, in Rouse's Tavern, his gravestone saying he was murdered by a Dr. Finley or Finney.
I did find several mentions of this murder in Ancestry.com, but don't belong to it, The remarks were in connection with a Sylvanus Finney, Temperance Lucas, Nathan Lucas, and Mary Lucas.

Further Research on the Robert Lucas in John Lucas' Company
I still do not know what the relationship might have been between John Lucas and this Robert Lucas. But I did come across the name of a Col. Robert Lucas buried in the Lucas Family Cemetery at Elmwood Estate in Sheperdstown, West Virginia.
He was the brother of Mary Lucas Lucas, wife of John Lucas. Birth date was listed as 1795 and death in 1880. This would have put him at age 17 during the War of 1812. It is possible that he went to Scioto County along with his sister and was a part of his brother-in-law's company (which also might have given him the title of "Colonel" as he is listed as at the cemetery.
He never married.
Perhaps? --Brock-Perry

Ohio Militia Service in the War of 1812: Enrolled and Volunteer Militia
From "Notes on Clothing and Equipment of the Ohio Militia During the War of 1812" by James T. Brenner.
Since I was writing about Captain David Roop not dressing in an "officer-like manner," I found this of interest.
Ohio's militia was divided into enrolled militia and volunteer militia.
Enrolled Militia consisted of all eligible males age 18 to 45 and could be called up to service by the governor or other authorized official for a period of service, usually limited to no more than three months. With few exceptions, this service usually was within state borders.
Volunteer Militia came from the enrolled militia and volunteered to augment the regular army. They received the same pay and allowance as the regulars and served for an extended period, sometimes for 12 months.
Enrolled Militia provided their own equipment and arms. The federal government provided the same for the volunteer militia.
Obviously, David Roop's and John Lucas' companies were Volunteer Militia.

Captain John Lucas: Founder of Lucasville, Ohio
From "Military History of Scioto County from 1812-1865."
"Captain Lucas returned from the war after he was released, as he and his company had been part of the forces surrendered by General Hull. there was little of his life to attract attention after his return home, having, like the rest of his command, retired to private life.
"In 1819 he laid out the town of Lucasville on a portion of his farm, and opened and kept the first tavern in that village or hamlet. he continued in the business until 1825 when death put an end to his earthly pilgrimage.

Captain Roop's Company-- Part 4: "Man of Marked Bravery and Very Popular"
From a "Standard History of the Hanging Rock Iron region of Ohio."
CAPTAIN ROOP'S COMPANY
There were 47 men in Captain Roop's Company, among whom were seven members of the Noel family into which the captain afterwards married.
"The same David Roop, although slovenly in his dress, fond of whiskey, and not strong for discipline among his privates, was a man of marked bravery and very popular.
"he was court-martialed several times during the Detroit campaign for various breaches of good conduct and discipline, but the members of his company persisted in reelecting him and the authorities of the regular army had to succumb.
"Captain Roop returned home after the surrender and married a daughter of Peter Noel on Pond Creek, five miles west of Portsmouth (Ohio)."

Scioto County's Captain David Roop-- Part 3: A True Backwoodsman
" David Roop was a fair specimen and true type of the ancient backwoodsman and hunter. He was a brave and generous to a fault. he was uneducated and uncouth in even his manner and conversation.
"Industrious in his habits, but rather too fond of whiskey. he belonged to a class that is fast dying out, and the time is not too far distant when the backwoods hunter will be known only to history."

Scioto County's Captain David Roop-- Part 2: Very Unofficerlike In Appearance and Liked His Whiskey
"Captain Roop was a man of undoubted courage, but very unofficerlike in his appearance. He would not be troubled with a sword, but carried the same arms and dressed in his linsey hunting shirt, the same as his men.
"As he had to associate with officers, some of whom belonged to the regular army, they court-martialed him for his unofficerlike appearance, broke him of his commission, and reduced him to the ranks. The next day the company elected him Captain again. They let it run on a few days, and Roop, being fond of whiskey, got tight. Thereupon the officers had him tried by court-martial, found him guilty of drunkenness and broke him again.
"The second time they elected him Captain. They then told the officers they might go and break him as often as they pleased, they would elect him Captain just as often. So the officers had to give up and let him dress and do as he pleased."
Quite a Guy. --Brock-Perry

From "History of Lower Scioto County, Ohio."
"Captain Roop always carried a rifle instead of a sword, and at the battle of Brownstown, where our men were put to flight, Roop, being a stout, athletic man, as well as swift of foot, told his men to seek their safety as quick as possible by flight and that he would keep the Indians at bay with his rifle and tomahawk as long as he could, and if they pressed him to closely he could outrun the swiftest Indian among them.
"In this way he brought all his men off safely. He shot several Indians just as they were on the point of tomahawking some of the men.
"He saved the life of George McDougal by shooting an Indian who was drawing his hatchett to strike the fatal blow."

Another Scioto Company Called in 1813
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.
