Exactly when did this incident occur (Fall of 1780?)? There is a legend that three WALKER brothers were attacked by Indians just north of the TN line, probably in the fall of 1780. At that time this are was in Logan County. They were on their way back to TN from "taking up" 800 acres of land near Dripping Springs, and Smith's Grove, KY. The names of these brothers are said to be John, Eben (Ebenezer) and William. It is said that the Indians had wanted their horses, and attacked them just north of the TN line. Eben was killed. The other brothers rode on 15 miles to the first settlement. It is said that this deterred the family from settling in their KY lands for several years. However, after about 1805 we do find John WALKER and his wife, Mary Webb FARRISS WALKER living near Smith's Grove in Warren County, KY.
