This is not my family, I post it for your research.
From the Knoxville Gazette of May 18, 1793:
"Lexington, Kentucky, April 6: On the 26th of March, a company consisting of nine men, two women, and eight children, on their way to this State, were attacked about five miles form the Hazel Patch toward Laurel River, about an hour before sunset, by a party of Indians supposed to be about 30. The nine men dismounted and defended the women and children for about 15 minutes, during which time they fired four or five rounds, but being overpowered and the Indians closing in on all sides, the whole were killed or taken, except four, who escaped, one of which is dangerously wounded. Names of the killed and missing:
JOEL CARDER AND HIS FAMILY; James Anthony and his family; Mathew Flournoy; __ Spilman and Thomas Penniston, James Jones wounded. Robert Hill, James McFarland and William Anthony escaped unhurt. The above account is given by one of the men who escaped.
We are just now informed that Penniston, and one of the children which were missing, have just come in."
