This would be Thomas Robinson. I have found a great deal of information online, thanks to the links and messages sent previously. I have even found the original house where my ancestor John Tidd was killed and scalped by Indians. The history of this area is really quite fascinating. It is very much like the Last of the Mohicans and I would love to direct a movie or two about it.
