Hi Deborah, I have a book titled - Simon, Peter and Polly 1775-1825 A Chronicle of MALOTT and GIRTY Families By Madeline Hilborn Malott of Kingsville, Ontario, Canada 1994 ISBN 0-9698158-0-8 A map on page 51 shows Ft. Redstone on the Monogahela River south of Fort Pitt. A footnote on page 53 says: "Ft. Redstone, sometimes named Redstone Old Fort, existed as a place of defense after settlements began -- it was a kind of government fort, for the storage of ammunition and suppies, guarded by soldiers, its proper name after 1759 was Fort Burd, but this name was seldom used. Closest to the site today is Brownsville, PA." My wife's ancestor Peter MALOTT and family traveled by trail from Washington Co., MD to Fort Redstone in 1779. They wintered there and obtained flatboats for a journey on the Ohio River to KY which began in March 1780. The party of settlers was attacked by Native Americans along the Ohio River. Some were killed in the fighting, some captured, and some escaped and returned to Maryland. Some of the MALOTTs that were captured eventually made their way to Essex Co., Ontario, Canada where many descendants still reside. Regards from your neighbor, Gary R.
