Horatio Hall, while a major in Kentucky militia, had served in the ill-fated expeditions of generals Josiah Harmar and Arthur St. Clair against hostile Indians in the Northwest Territory in 1790 and 1791, respectively. In July 1793, Hall was commissioned lieutenant colonel of a regiment of mounted volunteers in Maj. Gen. Charles Scott’s division of Kentucky militia. Hall later would serve as adjutant general in this same division in 1794. Capt. James Lanier was appointed commander of a company of volunteers in Hall’s regiment on 15 July 1793 and subsequently was commissioned as regimental paymaster on 20 Sept. 1793 (Clark, American Militia, 12–24, 68, 89–91).
