Samuel Porter Wilson served in the War of 1812 under Captain James
Paxton. His regiment, commanded by Colonel James McDowell, was
marched from Rockbridge County to army headquarters at Richmond. There it was attached to a regiment commanded by Colonel Coleman and sent to reconnoiter an area between the Rappahonock and
Potomac Rivers. Thereafter it remained at Richmond until Wilson was discharged in December 1814.

In later years Wilson moved to Ohio and then Indiana, where he died.
