Thanks to lots of help, I found a list of 260 prisoners returned to Col. Bouquet in Russel H. Booth's,"The Tuscarawas Valley in Indian Days 1750-1797: Original Journals and Old Maps" There's a copy for sale at amazon.com. Dr. Booth gives as his source, Ewing, Wm. S., "Indian Captives Released by Col.Bouquet", The Western Pennsylvainia Historical Magazine, V.39 (1956) pp 199-202. He (Booth) says the article provides personal information about some of the prisoners. The link Marsha sent may not be active, but can be access at: http://web.archive.org/web/20000603112129/www.rootsweb.com/~indian/bouquet.htm Scroll down and you'll find two pages re. the released prisoners, the first of which may include the same names as in Booth's book. Thanks so much for all the help. A reminder: I'm still looking for names of the Virginia Independents who joined Bouquet's men in the rescue.

We haven't chatted in a while....but you might look back in the archives to see if there is anything helpful there. It is a very quiet list, so searching the archives should not be a huge job. I can't tell you how much we talked about Col Bouquet and etc....but I am thinking that the website that I sent you to use on the "way back machine" was from discussion on that mail list...and as I said prod me after the holidays and I'll pull out some of my files and piles.
