The Company of Captain Lewis
(Emmitsburg Area) served from
July 23, 1814 until January 10,
1815. They served at
Bladensburg, Annapolis and
Baltimore. According to one
veteran, Captain Lewis Weaver
commanded the company at the
Battle of Bladensburg and after
the engagement took his company
to Baltimore. They arrived at
camp outside of Baltimore on
September 4, 1814. At some point
he was cashiered and succeeded
by Captain James Huston who in
turn was succeeded by Captain
Joseph Green of Emmitsburg who
remained in command until the
company was discharged on
January 10, 1815 at Annapolis.
Sergeant Martin Shultz stated
that when Captain Huston was
taken sick he returned to
Frederick and never rejoined the
regiment. From that point the
company remained under the
command of Lieutenant Thomas W.
Morgan until Captain Green took
command and retained it until
the company was discharged. A
reference is made in the
Frederick-town Herald to the
departure of a company under the
command of Captain James Huston
during the last week of July of
1814. From this item it can be
concluded that Huston first
commanded the company followed
by Weaver,, perhaps Morgan, and
finally Green.
On December 31, 1814, a
reward was posted in the
Frederick-town Herald for
deserters from this company.
Fifty had deserted in Baltimore,
three deserted at Annapolis and
two had deserted at Bladensburg.
Captain Green offered $550.00
for the return of the men at his
headquarters at Annapolis.
