I would like to exchange information or hear from anyone descended from the Becraft family who was at Morgans Station when it was attacked in 1793. Benjamin Becraft was sold as a slave in Detroit released under General Anthony Wayne's Treaty of 1795 and returned to Bath County. Joanne
"James Wade a person of credibility came personally into court and being sworn states that he lived in the neighborhood of Morgans station when the same was taken by the indians in the year 1793 That he was well acquainted with Abraham Becraft the reputed brother of Benjamin Becraft and Peter Becraft and that the said Abraham lived in the immediate? security of the station when the same was taken and his wife and all his children were killed by the indians except three This witness saw their dead bodies and helped bury them The three children that escaped was named Benjamin, Rachel, and Betsy who lived in the immediate neighborhood of the witness until they grew up to men and women The witness was intimately? acquainted with the sd Abraham until his death and knows that he never was married afterward Rachel Becraft married a man by the name of Jacob? Wyning? and Betsy married a man by the name of George Owins which is ordered to be certified"
