    Obituary -- ? paper -- George Redenbaugh died at 12:30 o'clock Sundaymorning, May 25, 1884 age 99 years, 7 months, 7 days. Uncle George,as we always called him, was born Sept 18, 1783 in Cumberland County,Pennsylvania. He emigrated to the state of Indiana in 1813, settledwith his father in Jefferson County. In 1830, he, with his wife,removed to this county. He was married to Margaret Stucker May 25,1820. She died in 1872 at the age of 72 years. Uncle George was thefather of nine children, three sons and two daughters still living.The grandfather of 62 children and the great grandfather of 41. Hewas a veteran of the War of 1812, the eldest of a family of 13, twobrothers and one sister still living. One brother near Yeddo, one inKansas and the sister in Iowa. He had been a member of the unitedBaptist Church at least 50 years, assisted in the organization of theUnited Baptist Church at this place, the first class leader of thechurch. Elder Hutts conducted the funeral service. Although theElder's sermon was short owing to his recent illness, yet it covered agreat many points of interest. Uncle George bore his illness withpatience and during his last suffering of five weeks not a murmurescaped his lips. At last he has received his reward, the reward ofeternal life and happiness. We do hope that his relatives that areleft to mourn over his departure live as upright and pure Christians,so that when Gabriel shall blow his Trumpet they shall all be gatheredtogether in one unbroken family in that Home beyond the skies.[Transcribed 17 November 2006, SLJuhl, compiler]

    George Redenbaugh, farmer, retired, Steam Corner, was b. Sept 18,1793, in Cumberland Co Pa. His parents, Frederick & Margaret (Haney)Redenbaugh, emigrated from Germany to Pa, then to Shenandoah Valley,then to Ohio and next floated on the Ohio river on a flatboat toJefferson Co, IN where they lived 'til 1832. Geo. served in the war of1812 under Gen. Harrison in Col. Tupper's division and was present atthe treaty made by the national forces with 600 warriors, on the W.side of the river, who espoused our cause and fought their brotherreds. H&M R. (this must refer to Henry & Margaret Redenbaugh) in1832 emigrated to Montgomery County, about six mi. from Crawfordsvillewhere they died in a few years. Geo. was marr. to Margaret STUCK andin 1836 moved to Fountain County, IN with a four-horse team. Hearrived May 3, and unloaded his goods under two oak trees. The nextmorning stuck forks in the ground, cut down a tree and made clapboardswith which he covered his shed and rived some boards which he stood upfor sides and thus enclosed his goods and family. The first year herented 14 acres of land near where Steam Corner is, which he plantedto corn. He also cleared 8 acres of his own farm. After planting hehewed logs and built a house 18 x 20 in which he and family lived 10years. He then built a larger log house and next erected his presentresidence. His farm of 160 acres which he entered took all his moneybut about $3.50, $3 of which went to buy corn and he spent 50 centsfor chickens. He knew not from where the next would come but it wasprovided. In tilling his land he used the old Smeller Plow, acuriosity to his few neighbors. Mr. Redenbaugh worked on and graduallythe forest gave way before him. His wife, the helpmate through thesedifficult times died March 3, 1873 aged 73. She was the mother of fourboys & five girls; Margaret, Henry, Frederick, Willis, and Delila,living; Lydia, Isaac, Eliz. and Amy, Dec. Mr. Redenbaugh is a memberof the United Brethren Church. He has been a lifelong and strongdemocrat. He is now far beyond the age allotted to man, and has livedthe history of his township."

    I did find George Redenbaugh in the War of 1812 under General Harrisonin Colonel Tupper's division with Captain Asa Hinckle and LieutenantBenaiah Ayres. He was from probably Butler County, Ohio at the time.Serving with him were several other Redenbaugh's and a Haney who hadto be relatives: Jeremiah, John, Phillip, Adam Redenbaugh, and GeorgeHaney. The dates listed that they all served was from Aug. 11, 1812,until Nov. 30, 1812, and from Jan. 1 until Feb. 15, 1813. FrederickRedenbaugh had to be in a different unit. There are nine units that Ihaven't been able to check as yet. I am having the library inLafayette, Indiana do a search for me through their records since theBattle Grounds for Tippecanoe is in their county to see if they cancome up with Frederick's information on when he served. This sitehas a roster of the soldiers that have been taken from the war rolesso far - as I said there are nine units as yet that the soldiers whoserved in them is not listed yet - the names of the units are on thisweb site:http://www.ohiohistory.org/onlinedoc/war1812/roster/1812/txt/page0012.txt
    William Henry Harrison
    1773-1841
    In the period from 1800 to 1812, Harrison was the governor of theIndiana Territory where his prime function was to conclude treatiesfor the purchase of lands from Native Americans. Some tribes resisted,most notably Tecumseh and his brother, The Prophet. In 1811, Harrisonrouted the Shawnee at the Battle of Tippecanoe.
    During the War of 1812, Harrison replaced the disgraced William Hulland recaptured Detroit in September 1813. In the following monthHarrison?s forces were victorious at the Battle of the Thames north ofLake Erie, a victory that secured the northwest border. Harrisonsecured further land cessions from Native Americans in the Treaty ofGreenville in 1814 and the Treaty of Spring Wells in 1815. If youhave problems getting there just let me know, okay?

    "George "Redinbo:
    According to an 1855 affidavit contained in his National Archiveswarrant file, George Redenbaugh was born about 1793 (probably in BerksCounty, PA), son of Frederick & Anna Margaret (Haney) Redinbo (a.k.a.Redenbaugh). Frederick and Anna probably moved to Hamilton County,Ohio, along with the rest of the "Redinbo" family about 1795. Atabout the age of 19, George, along with his father Frederick, enlistedat Hamilton County in the 1st Ohio Militia Regiment of VolunteerRiflemen and were assigned to the Company of Capt. Asa Hinkle. Fatherand son both served in that capacity until they were mustered out withthe company at Ft. St. Mary's, Ohio, on February 11, 1813. Georgereceived a "bounty land" award of 80 acres for his services. One ofthe affidavits contained in George's National Archives warrant filegives a brief outline of the chain-of-command organization of the OhioMilitia as it existed in August of 1812. It reads: "He (GeorgeRedenbaugh) says further that the said Company of Captain Hinckle(sic) was a Rifle Company, and that all the able bodied men of thecompany volunteered. He says that their superior officer was GeneralTupper . . . and that their Major's name was Joseph Jenkison (a.k.a.Jenkins) and that they were under the command of Gen. Harrison." The"Gen. Harrison" referred to was, of course, General William HenryHarrison who subsequently became the ninth President of the UnitedStates. To put George Redenbaugh's enlistment date of August 11,1812, into historical perspective: it was on that same day that thecommander of the Ohio Militia, General William Hull, crossed theDetroit River to occupy Ft. Detroit with his 2,500 American troops.Five days later, Hull surrendered the fort to the British and Indiansessentially without a fight, an act which has forever branded Hull asa coward. Harrison was subsequently appointed Hull's successor,primarily on the strength of Harrison's earlier victory over theforces of Tecumseh at the Battle of Tippecanoe in 1811. Harrisonimmediately set about gathering an irresistible force of Ohiovolunteers which would have included the likes of Asa Hinkle'sCompany. Harrison led his troops northward up the western side ofOhio, following a line of established forts at Piqua, St. Mary's, andDefiance. The Ohio Militia was also joined by thousands of volunteersfrom Kentucky, Pennsylvania, and Virginia and these diverse militaryunits all joined forces on the banks of the Maumee River inpreparation to retake Ft. Detroit. The British and their Indianallies prudently abandoned the fort but were pursued into Canada andwere there defeated at the Battle of the Thames River where Tecumsehwas killed. It is only assumed that George Redenbaugh returned toHamilton County following his six-month term of enlistment. It isknown that he eventually moved to Fountain County, Indiana (probablynear the town of Covington). It was from there that George filedaffidavits in 1850 and in 1855 pertaining to his "bounty land" claims. George is thought to have had at least four children: Henry, Isaac,Fredrick (sic), and Amy."

A class wasorganized at Abraham Myers' about 1837 by John hooble r. This was onScotts Prairie. Here George Redenbaugh, D. Simons, J. Wolf, Wm .Myers, and others met for worship. In 1841, Wm.

This was known as the Myersclass, and was organized by John Hoobler and J. Dunham, a visiterhere. James Griffith and William Hoobler were early itinerants. About1843 a log house was built, about 20' by 22', round logs, puncheonbenches, etc. This was then used as a meeting house The churchnumbered at that time 12 or 15 members. David Simons
    was class leader, and Wm. Myers , steward; then Wm myers class leader,David Simons, st eward. George Redenbaugh was also a early classleader. In about 10 years aft er, a new school house was built, thistime frame. Meetings were held here f or a time. In 1871, feelingsuffiently strong, it was decided to build a hous e of worship acontract was led to Wm. Ervin to build a house 31' by 40' for which herec'vd 913 dollors. When the church was dedicated Ira Mater was present. Membership at that time was about a 100.
