William R. Tharp Dr. Carolyn Eastman, Advisor Associate Professor, Department of History Virginia Commonwealth University Richmond, Virginia 14 May 2021 Tharp 1 © William R. Tharp 2021 All Rights Reserved Tharp 2 Abstract Along the banks of the Susquehanna River in early July 1778, a force of about 600 Loyalist and Native American raiders won a lopsided victory against 400 overwhelmed Patriot militiamen and regulars in the Wyoming Valley of Pennsylvania. While not well-known today, this battle—the Battle of Wyoming—had profound effects on the Revolutionary War and American culture and politics. Quite familiar to early Americans, this battle’s remembrance influenced the formation of national identity and informed Americans’ perceptions of their past and present over the course of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.
  • Appendix I War of 1812 Chronology

    Appendix I War of 1812 Chronology

    THE WAR OF 1812 MAGAZINE ISSUE 26 December 2016 Appendix I War of 1812 Chronology Compiled by Ralph Eshelman and Donald Hickey Introduction This War of 1812 Chronology includes all the major events related to the conflict beginning with the 1797 Jay Treaty of amity, commerce, and navigation between the United Kingdom and the United States of America and ending with the United States, Weas and Kickapoos signing of a peace treaty at Fort Harrison, Indiana, June 4, 1816. While the chronology includes items such as treaties, embargos and political events, the focus is on military engagements, both land and sea. It is believed this chronology is the most holistic inventory of War of 1812 military engagements ever assembled into a chronological listing. Don Hickey, in his War of 1812 Chronology, comments that chronologies are marred by errors partly because they draw on faulty sources and because secondary and even primary sources are not always dependable.1 For example, opposing commanders might give different dates for a military action, and occasionally the same commander might even present conflicting data. Jerry Roberts in his book on the British raid on Essex, Connecticut, points out that in a copy of Captain Coot’s report in the Admiralty and Secretariat Papers the date given for the raid is off by one day.2 Similarly, during the bombardment of Fort McHenry a British bomb vessel's log entry date is off by one day.3 Hickey points out that reports compiled by officers at sea or in remote parts of the theaters of war seem to be especially prone to ambiguity and error.

An abstract of A History of Fort Meigs: The Fort‘s Reconstruction as Reflection of Sense of Place to Northwest Ohio by Ashley A. Johnson Submitted to the Graduate Faculty as partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Master of Arts Degree in History The University of Toledo May 2011 Fort Meigs has endured for nearly 200 years due to its sense of place it offers to northwest Ohio. A sense of place consists of an area that offers locals an anchor of identity and explanation to understand their place and existence in time and space. In 1813, Fort Meigs first served northwest Ohio through the War of 1812 campaigns after the disastrous River Raisin Massacre and other repeated American losses; the two campaigns at the fort helped to turn the war in America‘s favor. Following the war period, the fort continued to serve the area by providing a space and backdrop for such things as political campaigns, memorial grounds for soldiers, celebrations of American war victories, and as a recreational area.

The Union Army awarded Israel, Jeptha, and Nathaniel the rank of Brigadier General and Kenner, a West Point graduate, was a Major General. Israel served with the 7th Ohio Volunteer Calvary and was on the Atlanta campaign with Sherman and at the battle of Nashville. After graduating from West Point in 1851, Kenner spent 10 years with the US Calvary in the southwest territories and, during the Civil War, led troops at Gettysburg, Atlanta, and Nashville. Kenner, a career soldier, spent little time in Frontenac and died at the age of 52. Lewis Garrard remained in Frontenac during the Civil War due to his health and managed the family’s Frontenac interests. The Garrard brothers are the grandsons of James Garrard, the 2nd Governor of Kentucky for which Garrard County Kentucky is named and the grandsons of Israel Ludlow, a surveyor who owned much of what is now Cincinnati, OH and for which Ludlow, Kentucky is named.

The 1979 edition had partial information but ln this final edition every attempt was made to bring i t up to date naming all decendents. First, research was done to bring early ancestry up to the point of living decendents. These decendents then were contacted by phone and occasionally in person. Once the person contacted realized all was authentic they responded quite enthusiastically for the most part. Only basic information was requested but if more was offered, it was taken. Many copies of segments were mailed to those fur - nishing information . Some responded with corrections or addit~ons. Mailing questionaires was not satisfying. Replys were rarely received. My conversations were pleasant and gratifying with the many people contacted. There was generally alot of interest. Occasionally you'll find where some families were not brought up to date. The effort was made by us. We have supplied the latest available leads if others wi~h to pursue further. The method used to indentify generations are as follows: 1st generation I -II etc. 2nd generation a - b etc. 3rd generation (a) - (b) etc. 4th generation 1. - 2. etc. 5th generation ( 1) - ( 2) etc. 6th generation ( I ) - ( I I ) etc. 7th generation not often attained; referred to as daug., son My sincere thanks to those who assisted with family information.
