Comments: There is a Richard Robinson in the Russell co.
VA, 1831 Will of George Washington Robinson listed as his brother.
Richard is not in the Russell Co census for 1830. I descend from Richard
Robinson who is in the 1830 census of Rockingham Co. and whose family
stayed in that area. Could Richard P. Russell, referred to as a brother, in the
1831 Russell Co. Will of George Washington Robinson be the same?
Does anyone have information on the Russell Co.
Richard Robinson's whereabouts in the 1830s?

I am a descendant of Bennett and Mary "Polly" (Jones) Creed who are
listed in the 1860 Russell Co VA census. Their son Shadrack Creed
married Mary Margaret Rickman, a daughter of Thomas Robert Rickman and
Jane (Griffith) Rickman. Jane was most likely a daughter of Isaac

Would enjoy hearing from anyone researching any of these surnames.

Comments: Here you will find an email I sent your governor
today. I wonder if there is anything you folks can do.
Sir, I am sure the calamity I am about to relate to you has gone
unnoticed at your office since the site was privately owned and recently
sold to a Texas developer. We came to be aware of it since my parents
visited the site Saturday, October 11, to witness (to their horror)the
beginning of the demolition. My family traces its heritage to the Duffs,
owners of the Scott Fort after the massacre there that put it in the
history books.
Below I have included the text of the tragedy at Wallens creek, the event
I refer to. At the Russel County, VA homepage, the history of the Scott
fort including its use by Daniel Boone as part of the Kentucky Trace is
documented.
The current situation was precipitated by the building's sale to a Texas
developer by a private owner. The building is being torn down as we
speak, the timbers salvaged for shipment to Texas to be rebuilt as a
rustic private residence. All of it (save the timbers) is being burned on
site. The destruction should be complete by Monday, October 13.
I think this situation should be of great concern to your office, and I
know there are a number of family and history researchers with whom we
have become acquainted on line will be appalled to hear the news. I'm
sure it is too late to do much about this fort since it will be only a
memory by the time your staffers get to read my e-mail, but if it is part
of a trend you should know about it.
Thank you for your attention.
Very Respectfully,
Kristen E. Osborn

From the unpublished manuscript, Indian Atrocities Along the Clinch,
Powell and Holston Rivers, pages 136-148.
Archibald Scott settled near the head of Wallen’s Creek, in now Lee Co.,
VA, on a 400 acre tract of land in the year 1776. (1) Here he built a
strong log house on the Kentucky Trace, across from Kane’s Gap of Clinch
Mountain, known as Scott’s Fort, which became a famous stop-over for
people traveling to and from Kentucky. Scott’s Fort was not a palisaded
fort, but simply a strongly built log hose which on the frontier was
known as a fort-house. Just where Scott lived prior to his settlement on
Wallen’s Creek is not definite. It is probable that he was living
someplace in Russell Co. between Castlewood and Big Cedar Creek, for on
August 29, 1774 he was serving int he militia at Glade Hollow Fort, (2)
which would suggest that he lived in the radius of militia coverage for
protecting this fort. He had a brother James Scott who settled on Big
Cedar Creek in 1774, and one Alexander Scott who settled on the same
creek and in the same year, as did James Scott, may also have been a
brother.
Archibald Scott had married Frances "Fanny" Dickenson, daughter of Henry
Dickenson, Sr., and his wife Agness Jennings, of Prince Edward Co., VA.
She had brothers, Humphrey Dickenson, killed by Indians in 1778;
Archelaus Dickenson, who lived at Abingdon; Henry Dickenson, first Clerk
of Russell Co., Va; James Dickenson, and William Dickenson, the latter
supposedly remaining in Prince Edward Co., VA, and at least one sister,
Elizabeth Dickenson, who first married John Hawkins, Sr., and secondly
George Linder.
After the destruction of Scott and his family by Indians, the old Scott
Fort and land on Wallen’s Creek was acquired by Robert Duff, who had
married a niece of Fanny Scott. The Duff family continued to reside there
for many years after the Scott massacre, and some of the descendants
still live on Wallen’s Creek.
Mr. William W. Hoskins of Bluefield, WV, a descendant of the Ball family,
has done considerable research on this tragedy and sent me the following
article:
On the night of June 29, 1785, in that part of Washington County which
was erected into Russell County in 1786, and later in 1792 formed into
Lee County, Archibald Scott, his four children and another young man were
killed and the wife, Mrs. Scott, was taken prisoner. Wide publicity was
given to this incident. After prolonged search I find that there seems to
be four versions of this occurrence, one of a brief nature and three of a
more extended type. These versions vary in date and details, but all
agree in many particulars.
The earliest version is that of Arthur Campbell under date of July 5,
1785, just six days after the tragedy. Campbell had been living in
Southwest Virginia about fifteen years and was familiar with that region.
The second version is that which was published in the Freeman’s Journal
in Philadelphia under date of December 15, 1785. This account was
evidently written by some person from a personal recital made by Mrs.
Scott after her escape and return to the settlements. I have photostatic
copies of this report made for me by the New York Historical Society, 170
Central Park West, New York City; The Library of Congress and the
Philadelphia Free Library, Ridgeway Branch, Philadelphia, PA, each of
which has a copy of this issue of the Freeman’s Journal. The report that
was published as indicated here was reprinted in the New Haven Gazette
under date of December 29, 1785, and also reprinted in the New London
Connecticut Gazette under date of January 13, 1786. I have a photostatic
copy of the version reprinted in the New Haven Gazette made for me by the
Connecticut Historical Society, Hartford, CT. The version published in
the New Haven Gazette was reprinted with some minor variations in Joseph
Martin’s Gazateer of Virginia, published in Charlottesville, VA, 1835.
From the letter written me by Mr. Vail quoted in full below it will be
seen that this report as originally printed in the Freeman’s Journal was
given wide publicity.
The next version in order of time was written down by John Kobler, a
Methodist Minister, and published in Francis Asbury’s Journal 1821. John
Kobler performed the funeral rites of Mrs. Johnson when she was buried on
May 9, 1796. In 1843, James P. Carrell prepared a version of this story
and transmitted it to David Campbell, who in turn sent it to Lyman C.
Draper of the Wisconsin Historical Society, Madison, Wisconsin. Carrell
copied the report from Asbury’s Journal and added some of his own
comments. The version in Asbury’s Journal was reprinted in full in
Bennett’s Memorials of Methodism in Virginia from 1772 to 1829, Richmond,
1871.
All three of the above accounts are contemporary documents of the highest
value and may be relied upon for accuracy. The latest version in point of
time is that prepared by Charles B. Coale, for thirty-three years editor
of the Abingdon Virginian and published as a chapter in Wilburn Waters,
Richmond, 1878. It should be noted that the report of Coale was prepared
about eighty or ninety years after the murder of Scott and his children.
This version has some elements that other versions do not have and some
glaring errors.
Each of these three versions and the letter of Mr. Vail are cited in full
and may speak for themselves.
Under the date of July 5, 1785, Col. Arthur Campbell wrote Governor
Patrick Henry:
"By some gentlemen from Kentucky I am informed that in the night of the
29th of June last, Mr. Archibald Scott (who lived on the road leading to
Kentucky, in Powell’s Valley) and all his children, four in number,
together with another young man, were murdered by the Indians, and his
wife supposed to be taken prisoner."

THE FREEMAN’S JOURNAL
A Narrative of the Captivity and Escape of Mrs. Frances Scott, an
inhabitant of Washington Co., VA:
On Wednesday the 29th of June 1785, late in the evening, a large company
of armed men passed the house, on their way to Kentucky, some part of
whom encamped within two miles. Mrs. Scott, living on a frontier part,
generally made the family watchful; but on this calamitious day, after so
large a body of men had passed shortly after night, he lay down in his
bed, and imprudently left one of the doors of his house open; the
children were also in bed, and asleep. Mrs. Scott was nearly undressed,
when, to her unutterable astonishment and horror, she saw rushing in
through the door that was left open, painted savages with presented arms;
raising a hideous shriek - Mrs. Scott being awake, instantly jumped out
of his bed, but was immediately fired at; he forced his way through the
middle of the enemy and got out of the door, but fell a few paces from
thence. An Indian seized Mrs. Scott, and ordered her to a particular
spot, and not to move; others stabbed and cut the throats of the three
youngest children in their bed, and afterwards lifted them up and dashed
them down on the floor, near the mother; the eldest, a beautiful girl of
eight years old, awoke and escaped out of bed, and ran to her parent, and
with the most plaintive accents, cried, ‘O Mama! Mama! Save me’ - the
mother, in deepest anguish of spirit, and with a flood of tears,
entreated the savages to spare her child; but, with a brutal fierceness,
they tomahawked and stabbed her in the mother’s arms. Adjacent to Mrs.
Scott’s dwelling house another family lived, of the name of Ball. The
Indians also attacked them at the same instant they did Mr. Scott’s; but
the door being shut, the enemy fired into the house through an opening
between two logs, and killed a young lad, and then essayed to force the
door open; but a surviving brother fired through the door, and the enemy
desisted, and went off; the remaining part of the family ran out of the
house and escaped. In Mr. Scott’s house were four good rifles well
loaded, and a good deal of clothing, and furniture, part of which
belonged to people that had left it on their way to Kentucky. The Indians
loaded themselves with plunder, being 13 in number, then speedily made
off, and continued traveling all night; next morning their chief allotted
to each man his share an detached nine of a party to steal horses from
the inhabitants of Clinch.
The eleventh day after Mrs. Scott’s captivity, the four Indians that had
her in charge, stopped at a place fixed upon for a rendezvous, and to
hunt, being now in great want of provisions. Three went out, and the
chief, being an old man, was left to take care of the prisoner, who, by
this time, expressed a willingness to proceed to the Indian Towns, which
seemed to have the desired effect of lessening her keeper’s vigilance. In
the day time, as the old man was graining a deer skin, the captive
pondering on her situation, and anxiously looking for an opportunity to
make her escape, took the resolution and went to the Indian carelessly,
asked liberty to go a small distance to a stream of water, to wash the
blood off her apron, that had remained besmeared since the fatal night of
the murder of her little daughter. He told her in the English tongue "go
along"; she then passed by him, his face being in a contrary direction
from that she was going, and he very busy. She, after getting to the
water, proceeded on without delay, made to a high barren mountain, and
traveled until late in the evening, when she came down into the valley,
in search of the track she had been taken along; hoping thereby to find
the way back, without the risk of being lost, and perishing with hunger
in uninhabitated parts. On coming across the valley to the riverside,
supposed to be the easterly branch of Kentucky River, she observed in the
sand tracks of two men, that had gone up the river, and just returned.
She concluded these to have been her pursuers which excited emotions of
gratitude and thankfulness to divine providence for so timeous a
deliverance. Being without any provisions, having no kind of weapon or
tool to assist her in getting any, and being almost destitute of any
clothing, also knowing that a vast track of rugged high mountain
intervened, between where she was and the inhabitants eastwardly, and the
distance of the Kentucky settlements unknown, and she almost as ignorant
as a child of the method of steering through the woods, excited painful
sensations. But certain death, either by hunger or wild beasts, seemed
preferable rather than to be in the power of beings, who had excited in
her mind such horror. She addressed heaven for protection, and taking
courage, proceeded onward.
After traveling three days, she had nearly met with the Indians, as she
supposed, that had been sent to Clinch to steal horses, but
providentially hearing their approach, concealed herself among the cane,
until the enemy had passed. This giving a fresh alarm, and her mind being
filled with consternation, she got lost, proceeding backwards and
forwards for several days; at length, she came to a river, that seemed to
come from the east; concluding it was Sandy River, she accordingly
resolved to trace it to its source, which is adjacent to the Clinch
settlement. After proceeding up the same several days, she came to where
the river runs through the great Laurel mountain, (3) where is a
prodigious waterfall, and numerous high craggy clifts along the water
edge; that may seem impassable, the mountain steep and difficult.
However, our mournful traveller concluded that the latter way was the
best. She therefore ascended for some time, but coming to a range of
inaccessible rocks, she turned her course towards the foot of the
mountain and the river side; after getting into a deep gulley, and
passing over several high steep rocks, she reached the river side, where,
to her inexpressible affliction, she found that a perpendicular rock, or
rather one that hung over of 15 or 20 feet high, formed the bank. Here a
solemn pause took place; she essayed to return, but the height of the
steeps and rocks she had descended over, prevented her. She then returned
to the edge of the precipice, and viewed the bottom of it, as the certain
spot to end all her troubles, or remain away to pine away with hunger, or
be devoured by wild beasts. After serious meditation, and devout
exercises, she determined on leaping from the height, and accordingly
jumped off. Although the place where she had to alight was covered with
uneven rocks, not a bone was broken; but, being exceedingly stunned with
the fall, she remained unable to proceed for some space of time. The dry
season caused the river to be shallow - she traveled in it, and where she
could, by its edge, until she got through the mountain, which she
concluded was several miles. After this, as she was travelling along the
bank of the river, a venomous snake bit her on the ankle; she had
strength to kill it, and knowing its kind, concluded that death must soon
overtake her. By this time, Mrs. Scott was reduced to a mere skeleton
with fatigue, hunger and grief; probably this state of her body was the
means of preserving her from the effects of the poison; be that as it
may, so it was that very little pain succeeded the bite, and what little
swelling there was, it fell into her feet. Our wanderer now left the
river, and, after proceeding a good distance, she came to where the
valley parted into two, each leading a different course. Here a painful
suspense took place; a forlorn creature almost exhausted, and certain, if
she was far led out of the way, she would never see a human creature.
During this soliloquy, a beautiful bird (1) passed close by her,
fluttering along the ground, and went out of sight up one of the valleys.
This drew her attention, and, whilst considering what it might mean,
another bird of the same appearance in like manner fluttered past her,
and took the same valley the other had done. This determined her choice
of the way; in two days, which was the 11th day of August, she reached
the settlement on Clinch, called new Garden; whereas (she is since
informed by woodmen) had she taken the other valley, it would have led
her back towards the Ohio. Mrs. Scott relates that the Indians told her
that the party was composed of four different nations, two of whom she
thinks they named Delawares and Mingoes.
She further relates that, during her wandering, from the tenth of July to
the eleventh of August, she had no other subsistence but chewing and
swallowing the juice of young cane stalks, sassafras leaves, and some
other plants she did not know the names of; that, on her journey, she saw
Buffaloes, Elks, Deer, and frequently Bears and Wolves; not one of which
although some passed very near her, offered to do her the least harm. One
day a Bear came near her, with a young fawn in his mouth, and on
discovering her, he dropped his prey and ran off. Hunger prompted her to
go and take the flesh and eat it; but, on reflection, she desisted,
thinking that the Bear might return and devour her; besides she had an
aversion to taste raw flesh. Mrs. Scott continues in a law state of
health, and remains inconsolable for the loss of her family, particularly
bewailing the cruel death of her little daughter.
The Alderman Library has a small booklet, 3 ½" x 3" of 14 pages with
title, "A Remarkable Narrative of the Captivity and Escape of Mrs.
Frances Scott, an Inhabitant of Washington County, Virginia," printed at
Newburyport about 1800 that seems to be a reprint of the account that
appeared in the Freeman’s Journal under date of December 14, 1785. This
is one of the many reprints listed by Mr. Vail.
Rev. Francis Asbury’s Journal, Vol. II, pages 251-253:
Monday, May 9, 1796. I hobbled over the ridge, through the capital part
of Russell County, sixteen miles to B-----’s; (Bickleys) these people
have lived in peace ever since the death of Ben(ge), the half-blooded
Indian warrior, who was shot through the head while carrying off two
women. He was a dreadful wicked wretch, who by report may have been the
agent of death to nearly one hundred people in the wilderness, and in
Russell. Here I preached to a few insensible people; and had time to
read, write, and sleep in quiet. Yesterday our prayers were requested on
behalf of F. D------- (Fanny Dickenson). This day in the evening brother
K-----(Kobler) was called upon to perform her funeral solemities. Perhaps
she had been as great a female sufferer as I have heard of. The following
account, in substance, was taken from her own mouth, some time ago, by J.
Kobler, who performed her funeral rites.
Her maiden name was Dickenson. She was married to a Mr. Scott, and lived
in Powell’s Valley; at which time the Indians were very troublesome,
often killing and plundering the inhabitants. On a certain evening, her
husband and children being in bed, eight or nine Indians rushed into the
house; her husband being alarmed, started up, when all that had guns,
fired at him. Although he was badly wounded, he broke through them all,
and got out of the house; several of them closely pursued him, and put an
end to his life; they then murdered and scalped all her children before
her eyes, plundered her house, and took her prisoner. The remainder of
the night they spent around a fire in the woods, drinking, shouting, and
dancing. The next day they divided the plunder, with great equality;
amongst the rest of the goods was one of Mr. Wesley’s hymn books; she
asked them for it, and they gave it to her, but when they saw her reading
often therein, they were displeased, called her a conjurer, and took it
from her. After this they travelled several days’ journey toward the
Indian towns; but, said she, my grief was so great, I could hardly
believe my situation was a reality, but thought I dreamed. To aggravate
my grief, one of the Indians hung my husband’s and children’s scalps to
his back, and would walk the next before me. In walking up and down the
hills and mountains, I was worn out with fatigue and sorrow, they would
often laugh when they saw me almost spent, and mimic my panting for
breath. There was one Indian who was more humane than the rest; he would
get me water, and make the others stop when I wanted to rest; thus they
carried me on eleven days’ journey, until they were all greatly
distressed with hunger; then they committed me to the care of an old
Indian at the cap, while they went off a hunting.
Whilst the old man was busily employed in dressing a deer skin, I walked
backward and forward through the woods, until I observed he took no
notice of me; I then slipped off, and ran a considerable distance and
came to a canebrake, where I hid myself very securely. Through most of
the night I heard the Indians searching for me, and answering each other
with a voice like that of an owl. Thus was I left alone in the savage
wilderness, far from any inhabitants, without a morsel of food, or any
friend to help, but the common Saviour and friend of all; to Him I poured
out my complaint in fervent prayer that he would not forsake me in this
distressing circumstance. I then set out the course I thought Kentucky
lay, though with very little expectation of seeing a human face again,
except that of the savages; whom I looked upon so as many friends from
the bottomless pit; and my greatest dread was that of meeting some of
them whilst wandering in the wilderness.
One day as I was travelling, I heard a loud human voice, and, a
prodigious noise, like horses running; I ran into a safe place and hid
myself, and saw a company of Indians pass by, furiously driving a gang of
horses which they had stolen from the white people. I had nothing to
subsist upon but roots, young grave-vines, sweet cane, and such like
produce of the woods. I accidentally came where a bear was eating a deer,
and drew near in hopes of getting some, but he growled and looked angry;
so I left him, and quickly passed on. At night when I lay down to rest, I
never slept, but I dreamed of eating. In my lonesome travels, I came to a
very large shelving rock, under which was a fine bed of leaves; I crept
in among them, and determined there to end my days of sorrow. I lay there
several hours until my bones ached in so distressing a manner that I was
obliged to stir again. I then thought of, and wished for home; and
travelled on several days, till I came where Cumberland River breaks
through the mountain.
I went down the cliffs a considerable distance, until I was affrighted,
and made an attempt to go back, but found the place down which I had gone
so steep that I could not return. I then saw but one way that I could go,
which was a considerable perpendicular distance down to the bank of the
river. I took hold of the top of a little bush, and for a half an hour
prayed fervently to God for assistance; I then let myself down by the
little bush until it broke, and I went with great violence down to the
bottom. This was early in the morning, and I lay there a considerable
time with a determination to go no farther. About ten o’clock I grew so
thirsty that I concluded to crawl to the water and drink, after which I
found I could walk. The place I came through, as I have been since
informed, is only two miles, and I was four days in getting through it. I
travelled on until I came to a little path, one end of which led to the
inhabitants, and the other to the wilderness; I knew not which end of the
path to take - after standing and praying to the Lord for direction, I
turned to take the end that led to the wilderness; immediately there came
a little bird of a dove color near to my feet, and fluttered along the
path that led to the inhabitants. I did not observe this much at first,
until it did it a second or third time; I then understood this as a
direction of Providence, and took the path which led to the inhabitants.
Immediately after her safe arrival, she embraced religion, and lived and
died an humble follower of Christ.
The Alderman Library of the University of Virginia has two sets of the
Journal of Francis Asbury, one set of three volumes and another set in
six volumes, both being identical in content. The account of Mrs. Scott
appears on pages 251-253 of the second volume and of the three volume
edition and on pages 251-253 of volume four of the six volume edition.
To the four versions mentioned in the foregoing might be added a fifth
version - that of Lt. Col. William Martin, by a letter written to Dr.
Lyman C. Draper on July 7, 1842. (5) William Martin was a son of Col.
Joseph Martin, builder of Martin’s Station in Powell Valley, and at the
time of the slaying of the Scotts he was a young man around 25 years of
age and was living at his father’s station in Powell Valley. In this
letter Martin states:
"...Among the families settled as above were those of Archibald Scott, a
man of more than ordinary considerations in those regions, and _____
Ball, (6) who had settled together about midway between Clinch and the
Station (Martin’s). With these families, especially Scott’s, I became
intimate in traveling back and forthward. At length, I had been to Clinch
on business, returning in company with William Hord, my mate, a term then
used among us for intimates. We called at Scott’s and got refreshments.
This was in the month of June, 1785. Some four or five days after this
the Indians killed Scott, and all his family, except his wife. Her they
took prisoner. She finally escaped and returned. I saw her soon after,
and she gave me the following narrative, viz: ‘One night, just after
dark, her husband and children having gone to bed, she, being up, and the
door open, the Indians jumped into the house, the first notice they had,
and shot and killed her husband as he arose from his bed, and then
dispatched the children. In the meantime, one fellow laid hold on her and
protected her against the violence of the others. They then rifled the
house of such things they thought proper to take, and among others, her
saddle.
The other family, Balls, defended themselves and were not injured..."
None of the past writers mention the name of the Ball boy who was slain
at the time of this tragedy.
Some years after the death of Archibald Scott, his widow, Fanny, was
married to Thomas Johnston, the same for whom that county in Tennessee
was named, and reared a family, names and number not known to this
writer.
