• Notes

  Source Medium: Book In Virginia, while living on the South Branch, about 1763, Wilhelm WAGGONER born about 1706 Germany, built a fort-like home for his family. One day Wilhelm & daughter Mary & son Peter were working in the fields some distance from the fort when Indians came upon them & killed, scalped the old man then taking Mary & Peter captive. The rescue party found two Indians & Mary setting about a fire. They killed one Indian & wounded the other. One of the balls unluckily hit Mary & she died the next day. Peter was carried to their towns & remained with the Indians for some time; he later found his way to Philadelphia with some Frenchmen. Wilhelm's son John WAGGONER married Margaret BONNET. An Indian massacre at their home on Jesse's Run at Hacker's Creek: First Tecumseh shot at John Waggoner. John escaped to a neighbor, the HARDMAN home. One small boy was found killed & scalped in the front yard & the Indians took Mrs. Waggoner prisoner & six of their children. A mile from the house they found another small boy killed & still further on they found Mrs. Waggoner & 2 more small boys brutally murdered. Two girls & Peter were taken to the Indians town in Ohio. The eldest girl Elizabeth, age 12, was sold into slavery to an Indian squaw & treated cruelly. In 1795 Elizabeth was returned to her father. Mary was returned with the signing of the Treaty at Greenville. Peter Waggoner lived with the Indians for 20 years marrying an Indian woman & had 2 daughters before his father convinced him to return home.
