Fort Findlay, Ohio

I had never heard of James Findlay, the fort or the "Wagon Boy," Tom Corvin, so further research was needed.

From the HMdb

Early  in the War of 1812, General William Hull ordered Col. James Findlay (former mayor of Cincinnati) to open a road from Fort McArthur on the Scioto River to Blanchard's Fork (where he was to build a fort which was named after him). 

Captain Arthur Thomas commanded the fort until it wasd abandoned after the war.  Then several Wyandot Indian families occupied it until settlers laid out the the village of Findlay in 1821, near the site of the former fort and on the Blanchard River, named after French tailor Jean Jacques Blanchaed who had settled in the area in the 1770s.

Fort McArthur was near present-day Kenton, Ohio.  Another fort in this area was Fort Necessity which was built between Kenton and Findlay

Just to the south of the Fort Findlay metal marker is a rock ionscribed "Hull's Trail", part of general Hull's path from Urbana, Ohio to Detroit.
