This came from another genealogy newsletter, but I thought it might be of interest to those of you who want to historical research for TN. I have no idea where you'd get it, but it'd be interesting to find out. Bernice Raymond ---------Original Message------------ Doing research on my Capt. John "Jack: GORDON in TN, in Ramsey's THE ANNALS OF TENNESSEE by J.G.M. Ramsey, AM, MD. I found the following, p.608: "On the 6th of July, 1794, Isaac Mayfield was killed by Indiana within five miles of Nashville. He was standing sentinel for his son-in-law while he hoed corn, and got the first fire at the Indiana; but there being from twelve to fifteen of them, and very near to him, he could not escape." Eight balls penetrated his body ; he was scalped, a new English bayonet was thrust through his face, and two bloody tomahawks left near his mauled body. He was the sixth person of his name who had been killed or captured by the Creeks and Cherokees." This was in 1794. Sorry but it appears quite a few Mayfields lost their lives this way. Hope this helps someone, as gruesome as it is.
