Rachel Silverthorns heroic ride 1778
I have recently found an account of a heroic ride by a Rachel Silverthorn in August of 1778 in which she volunteered to ride from Fort Muncy, in then Northumberland Co.,PA., to warn her neighbors of impending indian attacks. I suspect she is in some way related to George(1712-1782)and Sarah Newman Silverthorn of the same place. Does anyone know of this account or of a Rachel consistent with this time and place?
