John McClanahan and Robert McClanahan joined their relatives in Rockbridge Co., Virginia [and probably on to NC for a time] before going to Kentucky, and pressing on across the Ohio [River] to successful settlement in Marietta Ohio.
In Virginia he had viewed the slaves with horror and when he found their condition not improved in Kentucky, he at once urged pressing on across the Ohio. He pointed to the success of the Marietta settlement and no doubt felt only _____ ___ ____ was needed.

THE WAR of 1812
The Surrender of Detroit
Painting by John Wycliffe Lowes Forster
These were stirring times and the Scotch-Irish were a stirring people. They watched with Keen interest the progress of the affairs of their new nation; and they were not alone in crediting their mother country England with covetous designs on her former colonies. The War of 1812 did not surprise them in the least -- they were ready to a man. But the surrender of General Hull [on August 16, 1812] astounded the country. It brought too, the keenest apprehension to the Ohioans as they envisaged Indian war anew under the dreaded Shawnee chief, the famed Tecumseh, who was fighting with the British.
John McClanahan, now a strong and sturdy lad of 18, was afire with the rest. When a call came for volunteers to defend our northern boundary, he, with most of his young friends, enlisted. John was in Captain Wade's company (view Roster of Capt. Wade's Company). He was required "to provide himself with a good musket or a good rifle, a sufficient bayonet; a knapsack and two spare flints, a pouch with a box therein to contain not less than twenty-four cartridges and each cartridge to contain a proper quantity of powder and ball."
John provided his own equipment and served in his regiment from July 28 to August 28, 1813. Then the war ended for him. We do not know if this young militiaman ever shot a single one of his twenty-four cartridges in battle. But he must have been an acceptable soldier for, in addition to his pay of $8.25, he received the rank of orderly sergeant.
He seems to have had a natural aptitude for military life and a lively interest in arms, and he remained in the Ohio Militia for twenty-four years. By progressive promotion he was made Major, Brigade Inspector, finally Brigadier General. Hence by this long training, came the title he carried to the end on his life, "General McClanahan."
