Warren County undoubtedly had many residents who had served in the local militia during the various conflicts in the Northwest Territory including the defeat of the armies led by General Josiah Harmar in 1790 and by General Arthur St. Clair in 1791 as well as the American victory at the Battle of Fallen Timbers in 1794 which led to the 1795 Treaty of Greenville. I do not know of any collection of the names of those who served during this time period.
