Trans Allegheny Pioneers p.244
"... about sixty Indian warriors made their appearance, led by the
afterwards distinguished Cornstalk. They came professing friendship, and,
as the French and English war had but recently been terminted by treaty
of peace, the settlers did not doubt their sincerity, and treated them
with hospitable kindness; when, suddenly, they fell upon the unsuspecting
whites and killed every man, and killed or made every woman and child
prisoners. Mr. Archibald Clendenin had just returned from a sucessful
hunt, bringing three fine elk, upon which they had a glorious feast, and
after which, at a concerted signal, the massacrew was executed upon their
helpless victims. Thus within a few hours, two prosperous and happy
settlements were exterminated. The brave Mrs. Clendenin, as below
related, made her escape from captivity, but with the sacrifice of her
infant child.
At Clendenin's, a negro woman, who was endeavoring to escape, was
followed by her crying child. To facilitate her own escape, and to
prevent the child falling into Indian hands, she stopped and murdered it
herself.
Mrs. Clendenin, who seems to have been a woman of fearless nerve and
strong force of character, boldly denounced the Indians for their perfidy
and treachery alleging that cowards only could act with such duplicity.
To silence her, they slapped her face with the bloody scalp of her
husband, and raised a tomahawk in a threatening attitude over head; but
she was not to be silenced nor intimidated. She would not hold her peace,
nor her tongue.
In passing over Kenny's Knobs on the retreat, the Indians being in the
front and rear, and the prisoners in the center, Mrs. Clendenin handed
her infant to another woman to hold, and she slipped aside in the brush
and suceeded in making her escape. The crying of the child soon led to
the dicovery of her absence when one of the Indians observing that he
could "bring the cow to her calf: took it by its heels and beat its
brains out against a tree.
Mrs. Clendenin returned to her home, about ten miles distant, that night.
She covered the remains of her husband with brush and weeds and fence
rails to protect it from the wild beasts and after an effort to get some
rest in an adjoining cornfield, tortured by visions of murderers and
murders, she resumed her flight and finally reached in safety the
settlements on Jackson's river.
