Jacob Foy-"Roster of Ohio Soldier in War of 1812"-Roll of Captain Odle's Company, page 48 *Notes-Frederick Schrider-According to Levi, his great-grandson, Frederick was killed in the Battle of Brandywine. Five hundred of the wounded and sick were transported to the Ephrata Cloister at the town of Ephrata, Lancaster Co., PAThey were taked to a building that was used to house single women called the "Kedar". It became a makeshift hospital. The dead were buried in unmarked graves near the hospital . This was the start of what is known as Mt. Zion Cememtery. Two hundred are reported buried there. A monument was placed there in theirmemory.

A record of the march from that place to Perth Amboy was published in this journal. From the article it would seem that the battalion was formed and marched at the same time.

The Indian problem the Tulpehocken Region was experiencing may have had an influence on Johann Adam Anspach's decision to take his family to Ohio in 1804 to take advantage of his land grant. In 1801 he moved his family to Lancaster Co. PA, and in 1804, when his children were ages 24-4, he moved to Ohio and settled in New Reading township.
