>  I'm hoping to find the names of the men who made up the "Virginia
> Independents" and joined Col. Henry Bouquet's Expedition against the
> Indians in 1764. The expedition was somewhat successful in convincing the
> Delaware, Shawnee and other tribes to bring in their hostages.
> I'm also looking for a list --partial or full- of the 200+ hostages the
> tribes brought in to the temporary housing built by Bouquet's men.

>  I  have the info from Terry Gruber's sites and have scanned several
> documents at American Memory (Lib. of Congress), and a small book by Wm
> Henry Engle, "An Illustrated HIstory of the Commonwealth of Penn.
> (Harrisonburg, 1876), but only Terry gives some names, and they are
> limited to a small number of the hostages.

>  In Chalkley's "Chronicles of the Scotch-Irish" is at least one reference

> material is available, and hoping someone is familiar with them and found
> the names of men in the VA Independents and hopefully, more names of the
> hostages rescued.

>  Any indoemation  or suggestions much appreciated.
