Remember that since Botetourt covered such a wide expanse during early days, the area of WV was included. Most Indian captures that took place along the early frontier were probably Shawnee. I have records of severl Carpenter children being captured around 1750s by the Shawnees. One early fairly well-known settler named Abraham Carpenter was captured at age eight and raised until age 18 when he was ransomed. He eventually settled in what is now central WV. Sue
