William DeCoursey's website does not list all the names of the 40 homes that were burned. The scanned copy I have does. The scanned copy did not print out well on my printer. It is a bit fuzzy and since I do not recognize the names of most of these people, I may not get them exactly right, so bear with me. Here are the names of the owners of burned houses as best that I can read them: William James, Sr.; William McNabb; Robert Allison; John Atkins, Esq; John Po---; Robert Haras (Harris?); Thomas Hill; Giles Churchill; Jacob Petty; William Lawrence; Abraham Corro/Garro?; Dennis Rozos (Racer/Decoursa); Robert Parks; Ephraim Culver's saw and grist mills; John Drake, Sr.; John McMichaels; Jammie Curridges (?); Frances Jones; Abraham Harmon; Daniel Brondige (sp?); Benjamin Tidd Jr. (whole family killed as well as burned out); Solomon Jenkins; William Tidd; John Tull; Capt Johnson; Joshua Parker or Packer; Job Barnum (sp?); John Hillman; Mr. Countryman; Daniel Reaver; Samuel Drake; Daniel Logan; Abraham Miller; Jacob Sly; Jacob Racer (DeCoursa/DeCoursey); William James Jr.; Bodewine Vanderlap; William Whittin (?); John Hoey/Howey. Published in the N.Y. Mercury on Dec 29, 1755. If you recognize these names, please post on the list about where they lived. I am guessing, but I think it was in the area of the Forks of the Delaware, but could be wrong. The Indians raided up and down the PA side of the Delaware River at this time. In December 1755 a large group attacked the home of Samuel Dupuy just south of Shawnee, PA, on the Delaware River. The fires they set could be seen across the river in NJ. Luckily, a force of men from NJ arrived, ran off the Indians, and saved the Dupuy families. I have read in some history books that all of the settlers for 50 miles north of the Water Gap in Northampton Co. evacuated the area and crossed the river for safety in Sussex Co., NJ. The only family who stayed was Samuel Dupuy. One reason he stayed was, a unit of soldiers stayed at his place almost all of 1756 so he had some protection. Helen
