General Notes: Husband - George Stevenson

---

He was a soldier in the Revolutionary War, serving under Gen. Washington at the battle of Brandywine. At the close of the struggle he came to the home of Zachariah Spriggs, near West Liberty, West Virginia, and whilst in the field plowing corn he was taken prisoner by the Indians under the leadership of the renegade white man, Simon Girty. He was compelled to carry a heavy iron kettle, lashed to his bare back, all the way to Canada. He was also at the same time suffering from a severe gash in the forehead, made by an Indian striking him with a tomahawk at the time of his capture. Three years and five months passed before he was exchanged as a prisoner of war. He married and lived for a time at what became known as Hunter's Mill, on Harmon's creek in Hanover township. He afterward removed to Knox County, Ohio.
