JVOTES 0,Y K&XTUCKY Section 4. 'About the 1st of March, 1775, Col.
ISoonc, with forty choice woodsmen from
Powell's Valley, together with Col. Richard Henderson, Capt. N. Hart, Jolm L'ltrel, and Maj. Wm. 13. Smith, again attempted to brave the terrors of a savage wilderness, with the view of making a permanent settlement in the fertile regions of Kentucky. They prosecuted
their journey until within fifteen miles of
where Boonesborough now stands, unmolested, when (on the 20th of Mi rch,a little before day break) they were attacked by a party of Indians, who fired into their tent, and wounded a Capt. Twitty through both' knees, and his servant mortal!). The Indians rushed forward to
Twitty's tent to scalp him, when a faith
ful bull dog of his laid hold of one of
them by the throat and put him down:
hec,i "d out for help to his companions.
when one of Miern tomahawked the dog, and the whole made a precipitate retreat. R ioiic's party lost two men killed and had one wounded. Notwithstanding the enemy were repulsed, on the 23d they returned again, and made a second attack, in which three white men were killed and two wounded, and the enemy again repulsed. Having again arrived
on the bank of the Kentucky River, the party, on the 1st day of April, 1775, began to erect a fort, and called it Boonesborough, (after Col. Boone) and the place has retained that name from that time to the present time. 0 the 4th day of April, the Indians killed one of B one's party on the 14th the fort was finished, when Col. Boone Bet out on his return for his family, whom he had left on Clinch Rv r, .d as goon as the journey could be accomplished, returned with them to Boonesborough. Mrs. Boone and her daughters were the first white women that migrated to Kentucky. On the 24th of December following, the Indians killed one white man and wounded another, near Boonesborough. 1 i the Spring of the same year, (1775,) Benjamin Logan, afterwards gen. Logan, and a conspicuous character in the history of Kentucky, he with William Gillespie, planted and raised a small crop of corn. Logan returned to his family, and on the I3lh of March, 1776, he arrived again at his camp in Kentucky, with Mrs. Logan and the rest of his family. This place was afterwards known by the names ofLgatrs Station and St. Asaph's. L g an endeavored to prevail on some adventurers in the neighborhood of the Crab Orchard to make a stand with him ai his place, but without effect; he was
therefore comoelled. for the safety of
Capt. George Rogers Clark (after
ward General Clark) arrived in Ken
tucky early in 1775, left Leesiown in the Fall, went to Pittsburgh, and retnrn-
ed early in 177G. Ifi 1773. Col. Thomnson. from the
State of Pennsylvania, came down the Ohio and made a number of surveys on the Ohio and Licking Rivers, the latter they called Salt Lick Creek. The company of which Col. Henderson was principal, assumed the title of
the I ransylvania yompany, and a cum
ber became attached to them during tin
early part of this year, after which they
conceived the project of establishing ;
proprietary government, South ot tht
Kentucky river, by the name and style of
Transylvania, ror this purpose
convention was held at Boonesborough;
the members, like the ancient States
General, sat under the noted elm at
that place, where all the civil officers ot the proposed Governmont were appoint-
d.
The adventurers of the South side of
Kentucky were very much divided, on
account of the claim set up by the Iran
sylvania company, within the chartered
units of V irginia, some claiming under
Henderson Co. and some under Vir
ginia. In consequence of this division, a meeting of the People was called at Harrodsburgh on the 1st of June, when a considerable number assembled, and George Rogers Clark, afterwards gen. Clark and John Gabriel Jones, were elected delegates to represent the state
of the country to the Legislature of Virginia. TheTransylvar.ia company used every means in their power to prevent
the election of delegates to V irginia, but failed.
Through the representation of Clark and Jones to the Legislature of Virginia, the county of Kentucky now State was stricken off from the county of Fincastle; and to enable the inhabitants ol Kentucky to defend themselves against the Indians, Clark and Jones were furnished with a quantity of ammunition. They took charge of the ammunition, and with it descended the Ohio river to an Hand near the mouth of Lawrence's or Limestone creek, when for want of horses to carry it on, they deposited it on the Island. A few days after the arrival of Clark
and Jones at M'Clelland's station, the
latter, with nine others, set out on horseback to bring on the ammunition from the island. On the 26th December they were met on Johnson's fork of Licking by a party of I idi.ins, and were routed with the loss. of four of their party. Joseph Rogers was taken prisoner, John G. Jones and YVm.Graden killed, and Josi-
borough.
On the 28th of March, 1777, a large
body of Indians laid siere to Hatreds
burg. Ttiey began their operations by
div dinsj into small parties, and way -lay
ir.g every path ana avenue to the tort
from the fields or forest, concealing them
selves behind trees, bushes, cce. and ihev
also attempted to cut oil all supplies, bv
killing tne cattle. Unable however, to
accomplish their purpose, they retired
from Harrodbur and made a descent
on Boonesborough. During the attack oi
Harrodsburg, Garret Pemlegras was kil led, and Petri- Flinn either killed or ta ken, as his bodv was never found.
Kentucky having t een fonned into a county, on the 18th day of April, Richard Calloway and John Todd were elect
ed to represent the People in the Gen eral Asembly of Virginia.
On the 20th April, Bv-njaminLynn and
b annuel M.'ore, two active woodsmen, se
out from Harrodsburg for Illinois. Their
business was only known toMajr Clark
and a few others, until after their return,

On the 20th of May, 1777, whiM the
women at L.oean s station wen- nviikn u.
ly in the morning, having a rua;d i t
men with them, a lare part) of Indians,
who had been oncealed, made a sudden
attack upon them, in which one man was
killed and two wounded, one of whith mortally ; (he other, t ith the w. men and
the rest of the men, got into the tort.
I he man who was mortally wounded
was left on the ground, as the part v were
unable to bring him elf. Hi name was Burr Harrison. The li dians were
ifraid to attempt to approach the woun
ded man, as he wa within t ii!e hot ot
the fort, and in open view. Af.er eme
time, he was discovered attempting to
rise, when Logan, who had iw vain en
deavored to excite a parly to aid him in
bringing in the wounded man. made the
attempt alone, and uc.eedd, in the
midst ol a sho?er ej bullets di-et.arged at him by the Indians, without receiving a:.y
injury.
O ) the 4th of Jul), Loor.esborough was tesieged by about 200 Indians. They
killed one white man and wounded two.
At that time there were only 22 men ii-
the fort. The siege lusted two da.
dusring which the Indians had eeven of
their party killed.
About tins time, all the stations in the
country were besieged, for the obvious
purpose of preventing the People fiom
ah Dixon missing, who was never after heard of. On the 20th of the same month between 40 and 50 Indians, commanded by a noted Mingo warrior, named Pluggy,
attacked McClelland's fort where Georgetown now stands iti which at that ti ne there were about 20 men; after a few hours the Indians withdrew, having
