My GGGgrandfather, John Auckerman (1786-187?) served out of Highland County 
in The War of 1812 in Capt. David McCreery's unit (Col. Keys). 
He was drafted into Ohio Militia from July 1813 to Sept. 1813. 
They reportedly marched from Highland County to Sandusky, Ohio

William Hill Jr. born 1792(son of William Hill Sr. and grandson of Hugh Evans, 
veteran of Revolutionary War) served in the War of 1812 with his brother-in-law 
John Duckwall. They served in Capt. G. W. Barrere's Company (Cavalry) 
from April 30 Apr 1812 until 6 May 1813. Both of these men were listed as privates. 
This group was one of three Ohio militia regiments captured at Detroit when 
Revolutionary War veteran General Hull surrendered his force to the British 
without a counsel of his junior officers. Hull was later court martialed and 
sentenced to death for treason. He was just an old fool, and not expecially 
treasonous and was not executed. Some of Hull's command was massacred afterwards 
by Indians allied with the British.
