Hi Sandy,
I sure do know the name. It is Redenbaugh Cemetery. It is off of231 in Crawfordsville, at the Southmont High School. If you are on231 heading towards Crawfordsville, the school is on the left side ofthe road, you turn on a county rd to get to the road to the school,turn left on to the school street, and the cemetery is on the left.
It was discovered a few years ago, and it was almost completelydestroyed. It's been restored, and Frederick's grave was kept insidethe school for about 3 years until they finally had the whole cemeteryrestored.
The land that the school is on, once belonged to the Redenbaughs/ andDouglas's. And all the farm land across from the school belonged tothem.

The Madison Administration
Battle of Tippecanoe
November 7, 1811
http://www.u-s-history.com/pages/h1017.html
Following the signing of the Treaty of Greenville in summer 1795,relative peace prevailed between the white settlers and the natives ofthe Old Northwest. The Washington and Adams administrations at leastpaid lip service to the terms of the treaty, but Jefferson (the greatagrarian philosopher) sought additional lands for American farmersthrough a series of purchases from the tribes. Not all thefrontiersmen bothered with the niceties of treaties and simplyoccupied Indian lands illegally.
Not without reason, resentment among the tribes ran high. In 1808,Tecumseh, a Shawnee chieftain, and his brother Tenskwatawa (known tothe Americans as The Prophet) launched a reform movement among theirpeople. They attempted to end the sale of additional lands to thewhites and to resist alcohol and other troublesome temptations of thecompeting culture. A new native settlement was built at the confluenceof the Wabash and Tippecanoe rivers (north of present-day Lafayette,Indiana) and became known as Prophet?s Town. The village became thefocal point of Tecumseh?s effort to rally the tribes east of theMississippi River in the hope of halting the spread of whitesettlements.
William Henry Harrison was governor of the Indiana Territory andsuperintendent of the Northwest Indians. Fearing the growing strengthof Tecumseh?s confederacy, Harrison decided to strike quickly. Hemarched an army of 1,100 men along the Wabash toward Prophet?s Town.Tecumseh was temporarily out of the area on a recruiting venture amongthe Creeks in the south, but his brother prepared the men for battlewith fiery oratory ? including promises that they could not be harmedby the white men?s bullets. Shortly before dawn on November 7, 1811,Harrison?s soldiers were attacked. After a two-hour battle, thenatives were forced to flee and their village ? the gathering spot ofthe confederacy ?was destroyed. Some military historians regard theBattle of Tippecanoe as a draw, but note that it held importantramifications:
The safety of the white settlements in the Indiana Territory becamemarkedly improved.
The Prophet was discredited as a leader because of his inability toensure the promised invincibility from the opponents' bullets and alsobecause he had violated Tecumseh's earlier counsel to hold off anyarmed confrontation until his return.
The confederation of the eastern tribes disintegrated.
The bitterly disappointed Tecumseh, who did not return to Indiana foranother three months, remained an implacable foe of the Americansettlers. He would later become allied with the British andparticipate in the War of 1812.
William Henry Harrison emerged with a reputation as the hero ofTippecanoe, an image that he would use to his political advantage inlater years.

The War of 1812
Causes of the War of 1812
http://www.u-s-history.com/pages/h1963.html
"Mr. Madison's War," as it was sometimes called, was fueled by severalfactors:
Anger over the violation of American neutral rights
The clamor of the so-called War Hawks
The real or imagined British hand in stirring up Native Americanunrest in the West, particularly the exploits of Tecumseh.
President Madison did not possess Jefferson's skill at keeping theUnited States out of war, but in any event the War Hawks' stridentactivities had changed the landscape. Popular opinion in the South andWest clearly favored the conflict. Madison realized, however, that thecountry was poorly prepared. The United States maintained a weak,scattered army and a navy that was virtually insignificant bycomparison to Britain's. The prospects and strategy of the UnitedStates left much to be desired.
Nevertheless, pro-war sentiment helped carry Madison to a second termin the Election of 1812.
1812-1815
The war sealed America's independence. Failing to capture Canada, thearmy prevented the British from taking Baltimore and New Orleans.
Most army battles occurred along the Canadian border, Chesapeake Bayregion and the Gulf of Mexico. Artillery units made a largecontribution.
The War of 1812
Battle of New Orleans
January 1815
Before peace was concluded in December 1814, the British launched aneffort to seize a portion of southern Louisiana, including the prizedcity of New Orleans.
The renowned Battle of New Orleans occurred on January 8, 1815,several weeks after the Treaty of Ghent was signed. However, thetreaty had provided that the hostilities were to continue until bothsides ratified the agreement; that did not occur until February 1815.
American forces, a mismatched group of militia and pirates underAndrew Jackson, decisively defeated British regulars, veterans of theNapoleonic Wars. British losses were approximately 700 killed and1,400 wounded; American losses amounted to only eight killed and 13wounded. The victory obviously had no impact on the outcome of thewar, but it was a major confidence builder for the American militaryand the nation.

"Frederick "Redinbo
Frederick Redinbo was born September 12, 1773, probably in BerksCounty, Pennsylvania, near the town of Reading, son of Henry andMargaret Redinbo (a.k.a. Redenbaugh, etc.). Frederick married AnnaMargaret Haney and parented his first son, George, who was born about1793, probably in Berks County, Pennsylvania. According to theHistory of Hamilton County, Ohio, by Henry A. & Mrs. Kate B. Ford,published in 1881, Frederick moved his family to Sycamore Township,Hamilton County, Ohio, in the spring of 1795 and settled there alongwith his parents and other siblings. On August 11, 1812, at the ageof 38, Frederick enlisted in the 1st Ohio Militia Regiment ofVolunteer Riflemen (Col. David Sutton's Regiment) in the battalioncommanded by Major Joseph Jenkins for a term of six months and wasassigned to the company of Capt. Asa Hinkle with the rank of private.His son, George, also enlisted at the same time making Frederick andGeorge the second known "Redinbo" father-and-son combination to servein Capt. Hinkle's Company. Frederick's brother, John Redinbo, andJohn's son, Jeremiah, also served under Capt. Hinkle. The militiaunit was organized at the "Cincinnati Encampment" and moved northwardfrom there along the western border of the State of Ohio, following aline of fortified encampments which had been erected previously by theforces of General "Mad" Anthony Wayne. Wayne had built numerous fortsin western Ohio during his campaign against the Indians whichculminated in the defeat of Chief Blue Jacket at the Battle of FallenTimbers in 1794. Some of these forts were still standing in variousstates of disrepair and were utilized by the American armies duringthe War of 1812, particularly by the forces under William HenryHarrison during his approach to Ft. Detroit which had fallen underBritish control less than a week after the enlistment of the Redinbos. Not much is known regarding the particular activities of Capt.Hinkle's Company during its six-month existence during the War of1812. Some evidence indicates that the unit spent at least part ofits time improving roads and guarding supply wagons. It is known thatCapt. Hinkle's Company was "mustered out" on February 11, 1813, at St.Mary's, a settlement now located in Auglaize County, Ohio, which wasformerly known as "Girty's Town." Ft. St. Mary's (a.k.a. Ft. Barbee)was one of the forts built by Anthony Wayne and later utilized as aheadquarters by William Henry Harrison prior to his advance on Ft.Detroit. At some point following his War of 1812 service, FrederickRedinbo moved from Hamilton County, Ohio, to Montgomery County,Indiana. Frederick's National Archives warrant file contains twoaffidavits filed from Montgomery County: one filed in 1850 fromCrawfordsville, Montgomery County, Indiana, and another filed fromMontgomery County on March 31,1855, in which Frederick states that, atthat time, he was 82 years of age. He had already been awarded abounty-land warrant (#7117) for 80 acres in May of 1851 for hisservice in the War of 1812. Frederick Redinbo reportedly died June15, 1856, near the town of Crawfordsville, Montgomery County, Indiana,shortly after filing the above-mentioned affidavit."

The 17th Regiment of U.S. Infantry
History
Internet Source: http://www.iaw.on.ca/~jsek/us17inf.htm
In the tension existing before the Declaration of War in June 1812,Congress authorized the expansion of the army from 7 regular infantryregiments to 25. Recruiting was done by state, each regiment beingraised from a single state. The 17th was the second Kentucky regiment,the other being the 7th, raised in 1808.
Kentucky was part of the 8th Military district. The 17th was assignedto the Army of the Northwest, an ad hoc formation delegated the taskof liberating the Northwest Territories( including the states of Ohio,Indiana, and the Michigan and Illinois territories) from under Britishcontrol. The army's first commander, Gen. William Hull, surrenderedhis forces at Detroit on April 19, 1812, while the 17th regiment wasbeing recruited and organized at Georgetown, Kentucky by Col. SamuelWells.
The second commander of the Northwest Army, James Winchester. tookover and led an expeditionary force north along Hull's trail throughOhio toward Detroit. The command of the army was split betweenWinchester, in charge of the regular of Federal army, and WilliamHenry Harrison, the Governor of Indiana, commanding the militia.Harrison was also the favorite of Kentucky leaders, and eventuallyreplaced Winchester.
Upon learning of hostile Indians besieging Ft. Wayne, Harrisondetached a force of Militia and regulars, including some of the 17thinfantry. to it's relief. They were detached with Kentucky and Ohiomilitia to conduct retributory raids on Potawatomi villages on theElkhart river, burning crops and towns.
Winchester resumed command and continued the march toward Detroit upthe Maumee river from Ft. Wayne. Harrison however, received apresidential commission and resumed command of the Northwest Army. The17th, under Winchester forming the left flank of the advance, precededto Ft. Defiance, slowly moving toward the armys rendezvous point atthe rapids of the Maumee. Rations were short because of the poorroads. Winter clothing failed to arrive untill late in the year, andshoes were in short supply.
Eventually the supply base at the base of the rapids was establishedby late 1812, to be later known as Ft. Meigs. On January 16th 1813, acouncil of war at the rapids decided to advance to the River Raisin,to Frenchtown in the Michigan territory. Col. Wells dissented and the17th remained in camp. When the American Army chased out the Canadianmilitia and the Indians from Frenchtown, Col Wells was ordered toproceed there and arrived there on the 20th with part of his regiment.Encamped on the right wing of the army, with no defense works exceptfor a rail fence between them and the enemy, the 17th were in anexposed position. Col. Wells protested to Gen. Winchester on the 21st.They were ordered to stay. Ammunition was short, only about 10 roundsper man were available.
Remember the Raisin !!!
January 22 ,1813
On the morning of the 22nd, the British army, with the Canadianmilitia and the Indians. attacked. Under artillery fire, and snipingfrom the flanks by Indians, the 17th was forced to withdraw from theirposition on the north bank of the river Raisin, cross the frozen riverand try to reform on the south side. Eventually many broke and ran.Winchester was captured and surrendered his forces. On hearing of theBritish attack from the returning soldiers, Col. Wells advanced aforce northward from the Maumee to cover the retreat.
In the aftermath of the battle, the American Prisoners and woundedwere left behind in Frenchtown as the British crossed the frozen laketo Ft. Malden. Without restraint, the Indians began to kill thewounded and the prisoners. The River Raisin Massacre, as it was known,led to the later battle cry of Remember to Raisin.
Ft. Meigs
Jan.-July, 1813.
The American Army spent the next several months fortifying it'sposition on the Maumee, anticipating further British attacks. Theybuilt a picketed encampment, supported with blockhouses and artillerybatteries, and called it Fort Meigs, after the Ohio governor, ReturnMeigs.. Preparations began for the upcoming campaign season with thebuildup of supplies and a reorganization of the Northwest Army.
British control of Lake Erie ment that all supplies had to be routedthough Pittsburgh, down the Ohio river to Cincinnati and then by wagonoverland to Ft. Meigs. Overland travel west of Cleveland wasimpossible due to the swamps and danger of Indian raids.
The anticipated British attack begun in late April.1813 as advancedforces began to arrive on the North bank of the Maumee. Gun batterieswere positioned and firing began. The Americans sat behind theirprepared defences untill the construction of new batteries requiredsorties. Captains Bradford and Croghan's companies of the 17th werecited for distinguished valor by Gen. Harrison for their assault onthe British batteries firing on the American right flank. Capt. Holt'scompany of the 17th was also cited for service to the Americanartillery during the siege. The British withdrew, but returned againin July to make another siege attempt with even less success.
Ft. Stephenson, Ohio
July,1813
Turning from Ft. Meigs , at the urging of the Indians, the Britishforces moved the attack to Ft. Stephenson on the Sandusky river.Commanded by Major Croghan, newly promoted, and Lt. Shipp of the 17th,The fort was only lightly defended and had only one 6-pounder gun.Still, by judicious use of grapeshot and a lack of spirit among theBritish assault party, Croghan was able to defend his post. This,despite disobedience to orders to abandon the fort, made Croghan ahero and he was breveted to Lt. Colonel.
Niagara Campaign
Summer 1814
Following Perrys Victory on Lake Erie, the British retreated back toCanada and eventual defeat at the river Thames. The 17th was sent backto occupy Detroit with the bulk of the Northwest Army. With a reducedneed for men, Capt. Chunn's company of the 17th was detached withanother company of the 19th infantry for operations on the Niagarafrontier. Arriving in Buffalo, Chunn's company was assigned to thetraining camp at Flint Hill, commanded by Gen. Winfield Scott toprepare for the invasion of Canada. On their way there, they werediverted to a raid on Dover, Canada on May 14. There they wereemployed to burn food stores and public property.
The main invasion began on July 2nd with the attack and capture of Ft.Erie from the British. Assigned to Gen. Ripley's ,brigade, Capt.Chunn's company was attached to the 21st infantry along with Lt.Riddle's company of the 19th infantry. Together they were participantsin the battle of Lundy's Lane on July 25th, attacking the Britishcenter, taking the crest of the hill and the artillery positions.
Withdrawing to Ft. Erie, they remained for the siege of the fort bythe British. The remainder of the 17th arrived at Ft. Erie fromDetroit on October 6th onboard the Brig Niagara. Capt. Chunn was citedfor bravery and brevetted to Major for his defense of the Americanfortifications on Snake Hill during the British assault of August.
Following the abandonment of Ft. Erie by the Americans in the fall of1814, the 17th regiment was taken into winter quarters in Erie,Pennsylvania. They were here when the war ended in December. Theregiment was disbanded during the post-war reductions, and the remnantwas taken into the 3rd infantry.
Other Campaigns.
While in Detroit in the summer on 1814, a portion of the 17th wasdetached to an expedition conducted by the Navy and Army to recaptureFt. Mackinaw. While able to cut off supplies to the British on theupper Great Lakes, the campaign soon became hindered by the loss ofships to Canadian raiding parties. Trying to repeat the Britishlanding on Mackinaw Island also met with defeat. With these setbacks,the American force retired to Detroit where it remained for most ofthe war, conducting occasional raids into Canada. [Transcribed 05March 2006, SLJuhl, compiler]

In the 1850 Federal Census for Montgomery County, Scott Township, Jane Huthert Douglass was living with her son-in-law Henry R. Redenbaugh and wife Mary Douglass Redenbaugh (Jane's daughter).
Now in my Mother's (Joyce Lorraine Clore Elkins) notes she had that the two families knew each other as far back as 1800. Since Mary Douglas was born in 1799 in England and she married Henry in 1823 in Ohio, the families could only have known each other shortly after the Douglas arrived in America between that time, probably not in Pennsylvania. We also know that Henry R. Redenbaugh was born in Reddin, Ohio in 1800. So, it is very likely that they did all know each other in Ohio from the very early 1800's on; However, I have nothing that says they knew each other in Pennsylvania. SLJuhl.
