    3. Hi folks, I just ran across this item on the OHS web page: http://www.ohiohistory.org/Exe/ZyNET.exe It is from the "Roster of Ohio Soldiers, War of 1812" on page 140. I suspect this unit may have been from the part of Fairfield County that later became Perry County. Perhaps someone might find a familiar name here. ROLL OF CAPT. GEORGE ZIEGLER'S COMPANY (County Unknown). Served from May 6, until May 20, 1813. Capt. George Ziegler Lieut. John Donaldson Ensign Abraham Pickering Sergt. Charles McCormick Sergt. Heck, John Sergt. William McIntosh Sergt. Henry Donaldson Corp. David Crossin Corp. Jacob Claws Corp. Jacob Collars Corp. Thomas Martin Privates. Privates. Privates. Alexander, James Allen, Jedediah Babb, Jonothan Bugh, John Cablien, Caleb Donaldson, Aaron Finck, George Fickel, Daniel Kitsmiller, Andrew Lassley, Peter Miller, James Millholland, Thomas McCollurn, Samuel Newel, John Neysemauger, David Overmire, Peter Prickets, Clement G. Peppus, John Pence, Jacob Reed, William Ricketts, William Raver, William Styers, John Smith, Hezekiah Trout, John Taylor, John The reasons I suspect the above is from Fairfield county is that there was a George Zeigler that was a judge in early Perry County, and that New Reading (west of Somerset) was at one time known as Overmeyertown, founded by an Overmeyer (I can't remember if it was a Peter or not right now). The surname Bugh also goes back quite a ways (the pastor of Drumm's Lutheran Church in Perry Co. is Rev. Bugh and has long ties to the area). Anyway, if others can identify possible matches on this company, we might be able to better determine if it was in fact from Fairfield county. Later, - Mike
