Martin Wetzel: Infamous death defying Indian Hunter/Scout and Man of the Frontier

Martin, older brother to Lewis was the oldest son of Captain John Wetzel and was born in Dec 1757 in Rockingham County, VA. In 1769 he came west with his father's family and in 1774 served in Dumnore's War. In 1777 Martin was at the siege of Wheeling and aided in burying the dead after Foreman's defeat. He was captured in April 1779 and adopted into Cornstalk's Shawnee family. He escaped from a ban of Indians by pretending to go to Kentucky to steal horses. Sometime in 1781 he returned to Wilderness Road to his home near Wheeling. There he married Mary Coffle. During the remainder of his life he was much employed in scouting and claimed to have been in 22 skirmishes without receiving a wound. [50]

A braver man had never lived than this Indian hunter. No Tomahawk was more deeply dyed with blood than his. His father was killed by Indians in a canoe with Martin hiding on-board and being able to escape. Martin became remorseless in his revenge. Martin Wetzel had been on an expedition with John Madison (brother of the president) when John was killed by Indians. Wetzel was able to escape but only to later have been captured by the Spanish in New Orleans and then accompanying Lewis and Clark for a short period up the Missouri River. Wetzel died in 1818 after a lingering fever and is said to have died near Natchez, Mississippi. [51].
