  King.GEDCOM. Electronic. Date of Import: December13, 2001. [1760681.ged] "In May, 1791, as John McIntire and his wife were returning to their home abo ut two miles above the mouth of the Bingamon Creek, in what is now Clay Distr ict, they passed through the yard of Uriah Ashcraft, and in a short time afte r Mr. Ashcraft startled by the sudden growling and springing up of one of his dogs, stepped quickley to the door to see what had aroused him. He had hard ley reached the door when he espied an Indian on the outside withhis gun pres ented. Closing and making fast the door, he ascended the stairs that he migh t better fire on the intruder, and after snapping his gun several times and d iscovering that there were other Indians in the yard he raised a loud shout t o apprise those who were within the sound of his voice that he was surrounded by danger. Upon this the Indians moved off and three brothers of John McInt ire coming to his relief they all pursued the trail of the savages. "About a mile from Ashcraft's they came upon the body of John McIntire tomahawked, st ripped and scalped, and concluded that Mrs. McIntire had been taken prisoner. They sent intelligence to Clarksburg of what had happened and requested ass istance to follow the Indians and recover the prisoner from captivity. The d esired assistance was immediately afforded and a company of men led on by Joh n Haymond and George Jackson were in pursuit." After a brief fight with the Indians some on the plunder was recovered. "It was here first ascertained tha t Mrs. McIntire had been killed, her scalp being among the things abandoned b y the Indians. Her body was afterwards found a short distance from where tha t of her husband had been previously discovered." History of Harrison County , by Henry Haymond 1973
