While on the march to the frontier, the regiment encamped a might at Delaware, and he was there for the first time stationed to do sentinel duty, with instructions to fire upon any man who attempted to enter the encampment without giving the countersign. One of the commissioned officers, thinking it would be interesting to know how the boy, Jacob Myers, would perform sentinel, undertook to pass the lines, thereby testing his fidelity to his trust. Jacob hailed him the requisite number of times without getting any response, and the officer still advancing, he discharged his musket, severely wounding him. For this act he was court-martialed, but it being in proof that he had only obeyed orders, was acquitted.

Many years afterwards a Methodist preacher was announced to preach, one day, in the old log church near which Jacob Myers lived, and, being a Methodist, he attended the service. The preacher, while in the pulpit, saw in Jacob Myers a countenanee that was not utterly strange to him, and the latter thought the features of the preacher were those of a man with whom he was not wholly unfamiliar; but neither remembered the time, place, nor circumstances under which they had thus mutually become familiarized to each other.

Morcan, Diopatr, was born January 23, 1785, at New London, Connecticut; his parents were of Welsh descent. Possessed of good physical constitution and mental ability, he obtained what at that time was considered a fair education. In 1809 he was married to Miss Lucy Church. To their care was given a family of ten children, two sons and eight daughters, who, with one exception, lived to years of maturity. In the government of his children he was stern, at times, even to severity. Yet in the education of so numerous a flock, at a period when school privileges were not, as now, available to the masses, though compelled at times to be clad in the plainest raiment, not one was allowed to miss the advantage of the best schools within the limits of his means, and his last dime was freely given for books and tuition. His first tax was paid under the old Priest tax law, and his first vote cast for the election of James Madison to the Presidency. Unswerving in his -attachment to party as to friends, he has: never since cast any but a Democratic vote, and he hopes yet to live until his party gets control of the Government. Going from Connecticut to New York, he lived there a number of years, and from there, in September, 1825, he came to Licking county, Ohio, where he has resided the greater part of the time since. His reminiscences to children and grandchildren of the appearance and condition of Licking county at that time, are very interesting. The timbered lands were still the home of the wolf and bear; the rude cabin was the abode of nearly every settler. Semi-annual trips to Sandusky, with an ox team, were made for fish; and little less wonderful to us, for the grinding of wheat and corn he must travel to Zanesville. He is now living at the home of his youngest daughter, Mrs. Adams, at Johnstown. Although in his ninety-sixth year, he walks one mile every day, and his carriage and bearing might rival those of persons who bear the impress of fewer years.
