Fort Findlay at what is today the modern city of Findlay, Ohio was erected{{when|date=December 2018}} by Col. James Findlay under the orders of General Hull and it was named in honor of the Colonel. It was a stockade style fort consisting of blockhouses at each corner comprising about fifty yards total space. The fort was garrisoned by a company under the command of Captain Arthur Thomas during its occupancy during the War of 1812. No fighting is recorded there during the war of 1812 as reported by Jacob Kimmell{{who|date=December 2018}} "So far as known there were no battles fought at Findlay and the garrison duty was no doubt monotonous and irksome. After the close of the war, Captain Thomas' company returned to Urbana. On their journey home, the Captain and his son lost their horses and separated from the rest of the company in search of them. They encamped at the Big Spring near Solomonstown, about five miles from Bellefontaine and the next morning were found murdered and scalped."[1] References1. ^{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=eOAyAQAAMAAJ|title=Twentieth Century History of Findlay and Hancock County and Representative Citizens|last=Kimmell|first=Jacob A.|date=1910-01-01|publisher=Richmond-Arnold|language=en}} 3 : Findlay, Ohio|Forts in Ohio|War of 1812 |
