E-mail from Marsha Moses: When I asked Mary Miller if I could share information provided by her in June her answer was: by all means - share, share, share. It does not cost much to get the publication with the complete listing - I only gave a part of it. I would love to hear from anyone with more lists. I understand the eastern newspapers were very interested in any Indian attacks or release of Indian captives on the frontier, so they wrote article about what was going on. I would love to know where to find some of those. Also - since 1750s, 1760s we were British, there are a lot of records of Indian captives in Britian.....would like to find out how to find those. So it would be a big help to me for you to pass on the info and let me know anything you find out. As I said, I found Josiah Ramsey was an Indian captive but nothing on my Henry Turney who was German speaking by the way. He was born around 1742-1750....either in PA or most likely in VA. I have a lot on him and his siblings and connecting families - but cannot trace down that one reference that Henry Turney and Josiah Ramsey were once Indian captives. I know an attack took place not far from where the Turneys were living on North Branch Shenandoah River near Edinburg / Woodstock VA - and that several captives were taken. (I am passing along Mary's reply because she gives some very excellent ideas to follow up on that perhaps someone on this list might be able to help give some guidance on where to find newspapers, etc....) Now below is the e-mail that Mary sent to the Shenandoah mail list in June (there are only a few of the names in the lists below that I don't recognize --as I said before it has been serendipty that I have slowly added to my information--and I would be extremely happy to sort out the remaining people that I don't know. The Williams family, Yokeham, See/Sea, Clendenin, Gilmore, Ewing, and Cunningham are all well recognized in the 1763 event. I haven't looked at the Hamilton nor Counsman before, but it is possible that I have something in my files and piles that I have just forgotten. I tend to only look at this event every fall.): I have some on the list - let me know if they are yours......

Anyway - perhaps you can figure it all out. I hope I got them all. There are perhaps other lists, but these are the ones in the article. Mary Turney Miller
