    THE WAR OF 1812
    Lieutenant SHAFOR's diary is as follows [ne: my excerpts] :
    "February 6, 1813, rendezvoused at Fort Hamilton. Engaged in the United States service for the term of six months in a company of Ohio militia commanded by Captain John HAMILTON, First Regiment, Third Detachment, and started the 17th instant for St. Mary's, arriving there the 27th. We were then ordered to Fort Logan.
    ... " July 2d, a party of men left Camp Meigs to go to Defiance, but were attacked by a party of Indians. Two were found dead ; the rest were all missing, except one, who got back to the fort. He said they were all killed and taken prisoners.
    ... Several of the soldiers died on the march or in encounter with the foe. Among them were James HARPER, May 5, 1813 ; Samuel COLBY, May 21st ; Samuel COTLEY, May 21st ; John BYRAM, May 27th ; Robert VANVICKLE, July 2d ; Abraham HUFFMAN, July 15th ; John CAIN, corporal, July 17th. Others deserted. Among these were James CARLISLE and John MORTON. The property of these men was sold and the proceeds turned over to the relatives, who gave Mr. SHAFOR receipts.
