Hi There, Quoted in *The Border Ward of the Upper Ohio Valley (1769-1794)* by William Hintzen. 1. Here is a brief mention of a man killed in 1777 (The Year of the Bloody Sevens) . "An article in the *Maryland Journal* in the spring of 1777 gives only an inkling; referring to incidents beginning in mid-April they reported: ....The same day another express arrived who brought an account of a man being found murdered near Wheeling"; *also one Ogden, a Jersey man, was found killed and scalped near the mouth of Racoon Creek...." * (I have other relatives who were on that creek = Fulk, Beeler) * * 2. There are several mentions of Col. David Shepherd, William Shepherd ,his oldest son, and Shepherd's Fort. Kathie -- M. Kathleen Felsted mkfelsted@gmail.com

Hi -Kathleen this caught my attention- do you know - Is racoon creek in Md. or the Upper Ohio Valley? Are both of these sources listed refering to the same occurrances? I have many New Jersey Ogdens. We corresponded already on the Husteds so you might recall that. Any first name available regarding the Ogden killed by Indians? Thanks Nancy Shean ----- Original Message ----- From: "M.
