He removed for a time to Canterbury New Hampshire. The History of the town of Canterbury, New Hampshire, 1727-1912, page 210-211 states: "The first reference to the records of the War of 1812 was at a special town meeting held July 28 that year. Lieut. Col. Moody Bedel had orders to raise seven companies for the regular army, establishing a recruiting station at Concord NH. Between May 8 and Sept 16, 1812 he had enlisted 397 men, for the Eleventh United States Infantry, of which Colonel Bedel was an officer. On the roll of field and staff officers of this regiment of United States Infantry is the name of Royal Jackman as chief musician. He was a well known resident of Caterbury. Mr. Chandler E. Potter says of him, "His skill with the drum and astonishing dexterity with the sticks, keeping one in the air while its fellow was continuing its duty in producing correct and excellent music, must be recollected by many men within the limits of the 11th and 38th Regiments." [ They were living in Woodstock New Hampshire during the censuses of 1850 and 1860.]
