Indians, sixty of them, attacked this fort, known as the BYRD's party, in June, 1780. The fort was burned but no prisoners were taken. Forty men from Bryan's Station went to help and found two men, both named STUCKER and a woman named MITCHELL killed. James INGLES, Jr. was born at Grant's Fort in November, 1779. In 1784 the fort was rebuilt but the GRANT family sold out to the INGLES and moved away from the fort. The site was approximately 1 =BD miles from the Antioch Christian Church near the border of Fayette County. One Timothy PEYTON was shot by the Indians about =BD mile from the fort. James STARK carried him to the fort where he later died. Peyton's Run is named for him. John GRANT wrote a letter dated 24 April 1780 to Col. John TODD who was a delegate at Harrodsburg.
