The War of 1812
The two St. Clair companies were then commanded respectively by Captains Pierre Minie and Francis Bonhomme.
War with England had for some time been anticipated; meanwhile, Governor Meigs, of Ohio under instructions of the general government had, with great alacrity, gathered together and disciplined a portion of the militia of that State, consisting of three regiments. The 1st from the Sciota Valley, commanded by Colonel Duncan McArthur; the 2nd from Cincinnati, commanded by Colonel James Findlay; and the 3d from the Muskingum Valley, commanded by Colonel Lewi Cass. The other field officers were Majors James Denney and William A. Trimble, of the 1st; Thomas Moore and Thomas B. Van Home, of the 2nd; and of the 3d, Robert Morrison and J. R. Munson. On May 25th the Governor placed these regiments under the command of General Hull, who had been appointed a Brigadier General in the U. S. Army on April 8th, when a movement commenced up the Miami Valley.
