Dated 1774. Andrew Fowler answers that he was a soldier at battle of Great Meadows and in Braddock's War. Sworn to in Bath County. Mary Horn of Spottsylvania County answers. She is sister of Wm.Magee, a volunteer in 1754 and 1755 in Braddock's War, and died in service. She was married 5th May, 1763, to Herod Horn in Spottsylvania County. James Neal made a settlement at mouth of Little Kanawha in 1772. In same year Benj. Harding made a settlement adjoining. Mark Harding, ditto. Henry Castle ditto, in 1773. James Gillespie petitions to be made a defendant. Owner of tract under Paul Armstrong who made the settlement. James Neal answers. In 1753 encouragements were held out by the Royal Government to settlers on western waters. Washington, on his return from Venango in December, 1753, or January, 1754, met many families crossing the Alleghenies. The Legislature, which was prorogued 14th February, 1754, appropriated £10,000 for encouragement and protection of western settlers. On 19th February, 1754, Dinwiddie issued a proclamation promising a land bounty to volunteer in the service and assist to expel French and Indians and help erect a fort at Forks of Monongalia. A regiment under Col. Joshua Fry was immediately raised and marched from Alexandria, about middle or latter end of March, 1754. Fry died at Patterson's Creek, and command devolved on Col. Washington, who had been defeated at Great Meadows on 17th April, 1754, having been dispatched from Williamsburg to Fort Cumberland in February, 1754, and having taken command of one Company from New York and one from South Carolina, as well as some Virginia Companies which had been previously raised and stationed upon frontier, from whence Washington rushed into the western country, meets and defeats a certain Jumonville, one of the enemy only escaping. Washington finds that the French were turning out of Fort Duquesne (now Pittsburg) too strong for him to withstand, retreats to Great Meadows, is attacked and compelled to surrender to De Villiere, but marches out of his little fortification with honors of war and returns to Wills Creek, viz: Fort Cumberland. At this surrender Lieutenants Stobo and Van Braam were surrendered to that officer as hostages. Within a year the First Virginia Regiment was disbanded, though raised again, or another in its stead, and that one or two other regiments were also raised in Virginia, prior to reduction of Fort Duquesne, for that was not evacuated by French until November, 1758. During that war one regiment was raised by Col. Washington, one by Col. Bird, and one by Col. Stephen, yet it appears the whole of the 200,000 acres were granted only to [p.169] CIRCUIT COURT RECORDS, SECTION "I." JUDGMENTS. page 171 1773, by viz: Francis Self, Robert MURPHY, Jno.
