 Includes NotesNotes for Robert Magill:

The new nation won political independence in the war from 1775 to 1783, but
another hard struggle was necessary to secure commercial independence. The
conspicuous part taken in the Revolution by the new county of Rockingham has
already been indicated, and it may be shown that in the war from 1812 to 1815 it
was not found wanting. In 1813 and 1814 no less than five companies, aggregating
nearly 400 men, went into the military service of the nation from Rockingham
County. The captains of these companies were Robert Magill, Thomas Hopkins,
William Harrison, Robert Hooke, and Daniel Matthews; the names of their men may
be found in the muster rolls in the Appendix. It is quite probable that other
soldiers from Rockingham, not listed in these rolls, also took part in the
second war for independence.
