! Birth: (2,2) Of Scotch-Irish descent. (3a) Eleanor GUY or GAY. (3a,4a,6a)
17 Aug 1740. (3a ) Her ancestors were Scotch. Her maternal grandfather left Scotland
and settled near Londonde rry. (3b,6a) d/o William GAY/Margaret HAMILTON, gd/o
Alexander HAMILTON. (7) d/o William GA Y or GUY/Margaret WALKUP.
Death: (3a,4) 9 Oct 1825. (5a) Will recorded 1825, Woodford Co., Kentucky.
Burial: (3a,4) Pisgah Cemetery next to her husband.
(4) Her maternal great-grandfather had fought in the seige of Londonderry and
her materna l great-grandmother had lived through it. Eleanor had been brought
up on tales of the seige' s horrors. In later years she told these stories to
her own grandchildren.
(6a) Her parents came from Philadelphia to Orange Co., VA with her. (2) Of
VA.
(6a) 1758: The first time Carr's or Kerr's Creek, VA was attacked by Indians,
she escaped i nto the woods with 2 children. Her sister-in-law, wife of her brother
James, was killed.
(4a) 1764, 14 Apr: (1) 14 Apr 1763: Taken captive by the Indians, who took
her to their tow n, Chillicothe. (3a) 1764: She was captured with her children
and carried to Ohio, but was fi nally restored to her family. (4a) She was taken
captive by the Indians from Augusta Co., VA , 20 miles from Staunton, on the
road to the Warm Springs. She had, when she was taken, 3 ch ildren, the eldest
a daughter, seven years old, the second a son four years old, the youngest ,
"your Aunt Hamilton," two years old. When the Indians came to the house,
"your grandfather " had but a short time left. He had eaten his dinner,
and gone to the fields out of sight o f the house, to plough. "Your grandmother"
was sitting just inside the door spinning, the ch ildren were playing at the
door, when, suddenly, they screamed, as though alarmed, and befor e she had time
to rise, an Indian jumped in at the door, there were five of them four men an
d a boy. They immediately went to packing up the clothing; they cut open the
beds, throwin g out the feathers. Several persons had brought their clothing
there, believing it to be th e most secure place in the neighborhood, and intending
to come and build a fort there. The y took all their clothing. There were two
guns in the house, and a new saddle; they took all . She said it was astonishing
the load that they carried. The Indians had never come as ear ly in the season
before, and their visit was utterly unlooked for at the time... (6a) 17 Ma y
1763: Eleanor and her 3 children were captured by the Indians in their 2nd attack
on Carr' s (Kerr's) Creek, VA.
(4a) They were very careful to leave as little (trail) as possible. She said
she frequentl y broke limbs of bushes, until the Indians noticed it and made
her quit. When they left th e house, they went up the side of a hill, in view
of the house, and stopped and sat down o n a log, staying some time, and fixed
her and the children for traveling. They made her pul l off her shoes and put
on moccasins, on her and the two oldest children. She was in three m onths of
having an infant. When they got all fixed, one of the Indians, who spoke good
Englis h turned to her and said it was the Great Spirit that put her in their
hands. She told him s he knew it; but the thought passed through her mind that
the same Great Spirit was able to ta ke her out of their hands before six months.
When they started, she had the child two years o ld to carry. The little boy
gave out after traveling several days. Two of the Indians stoppe d behind with
him; when they came up he was not with them, and she saw him no more. After
tr aveling several days, going up very high and steep mountains, she fell and
was not able to ge t up. The Indians called her to come along, but she lay still.
One of them came, broke a sw itch and whipped her severely. She said she never
felt it. While he was whipping her, she tu rned her head and looked at him;
he instantly drew his tomahawk. She turned her face from hi m and waited to
receive the blow, but he did not strike. She made the exertion and got up, a
nd went to the other Indians. They took the child from her, set her on a log,
and sat one ea ch side of it, and appeared to be holding council, whether to
kill it or not. After talkin g together some time, they asked if the child would
have black eyes. She told them it would . One of them remarked her hair was
very black. They immediately decided. One of them tha t had the saddle fixed
it on "your grandmother's" back, so that it gave her the use of her
ar ms, which was a great relief to her. He set the child on top of his pack,
which she said wa s a heavy one, and carried it to the towns. In two days they
got home. He gave the child t o one of his sisters who had lost a little one,
and she saw it no more until it was given u p about six months after. When it
was taken from her it spoke English remarkably well for on e of its years, and
when she next saw it, it could not speak a word of English, but spoke Ind ian
well. Nothing very material transpired until they got to the Indian town. They
went thr ough the mountains to Kenawah, where they had left their canoes, and
went by water most of th e way thereafter.
(4a) Soon after getting to the Indian's home was adopted into the family of
King Bever, an d was treated as one of them. She was, for a large portion of
the time she was with them, a t Zanesville. When the time arrived for her to
be confined, they would not let her stay in t he town, but sent her to the woods,
the squaws attended her and carried her food. Her infan t was born July 25th
1764.
(4a) 1764, fall: The fall after her capture, an army was sent against the Indians,
commande d by General BOQUETTE. The Indians were alarmed and agreed to make
peace and bring in all th e persons they held as captives, when upwards of 200
persons were given up, and among them "y our grandmother," her infant
three months old and the one two years old, the oldest having ta ken sick and
died during the summer. "Your grandfather" was with the army when
the little gi rl was given up. "Your grandmother" knew her immediately,
but he could not recognize her, an d was in great uneasiness, until her mother
asked him if he did not recollect having bled he r in the foot. He said he did,
and stripped of her moccasin. There was the mark. The Grea t Spirit was kind
to her, and delivered her out of their hands in just six months from the ti me
she was taken captive. They returned to Augusta County, from where she was taken,
and rem ained there until 1789, and them moved "here" (Cane Spring,
Woodford Co., Kentucky), where they liv ed until her death. (1) 1765: Escaped
and returned to VA.[alice-boyd.FTW]

kill it or not. After talkin g together some time, they asked if the child would
have black eyes. She told them it would . One of them remarked her hair was
very black. They immediately decided. One of them tha t had the saddle fixed
it on "your grandmother's" back, so that it gave her the use of her
ar ms, which was a great relief to her. He set the child on top of his pack,
which she said wa s a heavy one, and carried it to the towns. In two days they
got home. He gave the child t o one of his sisters who had lost a little one,
and she saw it no more until it was given u p about six months after. When it
was taken from her it spoke English remarkably well for on e of its years, and
when she next saw it, it could not speak a word of English, but spoke Ind ian
well. Nothing very material transpired until they got to the Indian town. They
went thr ough the mountains to Kenawah, where they had left their canoes, and
went by water most of th e way thereafter.
(4a) Soon after getting to the Indian's home was adopted into the family of
King Bever, an d was treated as one of them. She was, for a large portion of
the time she was with them, a t Zanesville. When the time arrived for her to
be confined, they would not let her stay in t he town, but sent her to the woods,
the squaws attended her and carried her food. Her infan t was born July 25th
1764.
(4a) 1764, fall: The fall after her capture, an army was sent against the Indians,
commande d by General BOQUETTE. The Indians were alarmed and agreed to make
peace and bring in all th e persons they held as captives, when upwards of 200
persons were given up, and among them "y our grandmother," her infant
three months old and the one two years old, the oldest having ta ken sick and
died during the summer. "Your grandfather" was with the army when
the little gi rl was given up. "Your grandmother" knew her immediately,
but he could not recognize her, an d was in great uneasiness, until her mother
asked him if he did not recollect having bled he r in the foot. He said he did,
and stripped of her moccasin. There was the mark. The Grea t Spirit was kind
to her, and delivered her out of their hands in just six months from the ti me
she was taken captive. They returned to Augusta County, from where she was taken,
and rem ained there until 1789, and them moved "here" (Cane Spring,
Woodford Co., KY), where they liv ed until her death. (1) 1765: Escaped and returned
