The Muddy Creek Massacre
On Saturday, July 16, 1763, a party of 80 to 90 Shawnees, led by Hakolesqua, better known as Cornstalk, and assisted by the great war chief Puksinwah, crossed over the Ohio and swept up the Kanawha River on a murderous rampage. Without warning the Indians killed and scalped Fredrick Michael See and son-in-law Littleberry Roach. Records state that Catherine and seven children were taken prisoner by the Shawnee Indians and held captive at Old Town for about one year. Then there was a prisoner exchange however the youngest son of Catherine, John, was left behind and raised by an Indian family that had lost a son. Later Johns' uncle, Adam See, brother of Michael, rescued him and took John back to Hampshire Co., Va. and raised him. Adam made the arrangements for ransom for Catherine and the other children.
Daughter Elizabeth, a twin girl of Catherine, was held captive for another nine years as the wife of Chief Cornstalk. Later she either escaped or was ransomed by Adam and then married Peter Shoemaker.
