Fighters At The Fort: Do you know which brave men defended settlers who were protected by Fort Crawford (near New Ken's Ft. Crawford Elementary)? It was one of the furthermost remote outposts on the American frontier. Ensign Coleman, Billy Brady, Captain Samuel Brady, Major Daniel Brodhead, Captain Thomas Campbell, Colonel James Carnahan, Colonel William Crawford, Captain Irwin, Lieutenant Lawrence Harrison, Brigadier-General Lachlan McIntosh, Captain Samuel Moorhead, Captain Thomas Beal, David Redick, William Ross, and Captain Thomas Stokely all served or presided over Ft. Crawford in the 1770-1792 era. Some of these men, such as Major Brodhead and Captain Brady, are today well-regarded Revolutionary War heroes. Others, such as James Carnahan, were simply local farmers who pitched in to defend their homes and families. This article was taken out of a local mailer.
