1793 family killed by indians in KY .::.
KENTUCKY GAZETTE Vol. #VI, No. XXIX - April 13, 1793
Lexington, April 6
On the 26th of March, a company consisting of 9 men, 2 women & eight children, on their way to this state, were attacked about five miles from the Hazle Patch toward Larel river, about an hour before sun set, by a party of Indians supposed to be about thirty. The nine men dismounted and defended the women and children for about fifteen minutes, during which time they fired four or five rounds, but being over powered and the Indians closing on in all sides, the whole were killed or taken, except four who escaped, on of which is dangerously wounded.
Names of the killed and missing... Joel Corder and his family; James Anthony and family; Mathews Flourney; _____ Spilman and Thomas Peniston, James Jones, wounded. Robt. Hill, James M. Farland 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, that was missing has since come in.
KENTUCKY GAZETTE Vol. #VI, No. XXX, April 13, 1793
We are informed that a party of men under Maj. Wheatly who went to the place where the company was defeated in the Wilderness on the 26th ult. have returned, and brought in with them the most of the horses and baggage belonging to the party defeated, as also two of the children that were missing -- it is supposed some sudden alarm caused the Indians to leave the ground immediately, by means of which the children were preserved. They also found and brought in a child that was taken by the Indians from a company they defeated about the first of March. It had straggled off from their camp whilst they were making the attack on the company of the 26th- The children had suffered very much for want of food.
HOWEVER... family lore stated that Elizabeth escaped the indians and married a Cartwright.
According to the will of John Corder found in Smith Co., TN, this was proven to be true.. but it also states that John was not aware if she was even alive at that time. (1814)
HOWEVER, your dates for the children can not be the correct family because it was proven that James Anthony married Elizabeth Corder 7.Feb.1781 in Yancyville, Caswell County, North Carolina via Hudson Berry (Bondsman)
By these facts, it plainly shows that Elizabeth Corder became a ANTHONY before she became a Cartwright. Not the other way around.
James Anthony was killed 26.Mar.1793 near Hazel Patch, Pulaski County boarder, Kentucky
To what we understand, the 2 children of James Anthony survived, these were Pembrook Anthony who married Asa Pal 27.Aug.1803 in Casswell County, NC and Lewis Corder Anthony who married Nancy Kirby reported by the family in Tennessee on 22.Aug.1804. No marriage record has been found as of yet to suppor this.
These two children became ward of the courts and the family helped raise them to adulthood.
So.. by these records found, the information you have posted "cannot be the same family" that is of Elizabeth Corder Anthony Cartwright.
