" ..as William WHITE, Timothy DORMAN & his wife, were going to, and in site of Buchannon Fort, some guns were discharged at them, and White being shot through the hip soon fell from his horse, and was tomahawked, scalped and lacerated in the most frightful manner. Dorman & his wife were taken prisoners."
.." apprehension arose from the fact, that DORMAN was then with the savages, and that to gratify his enmity to particular individuals in the settlement, he would unite with the Indians and from his knowledge of the country, be enabled to conduct them the more securely to blood & plunder. He was a man of...revengeful disposition, prone to quarreling, and had been known to say, that if he caught a particular individuals with whom he was at variance, in the woods alone, he would murder them & attribute it to the Indians."
According to Withers, Timothy DORMAN made a list of captives taken from the West Virginia area. If anyone knows the whereabouts of this list please contact Debbie.
