General Notes: Wife - Elizabeth Stevenson


Her father was killed by the Indians, along with several others, whilst harvesting his wheat, and his two children, with a hired girl named Jennie Harper, were taken prisoners. The younger of the two children, a son, was afterward murdered, having his brains dashed out against a tree; the daughter, with the hired girl, was taken to Canada, but afterward exchanged and returned home. She was married to Zachariah Spriggs, and they removed to a farm near to West Liberty, Ohio County, West Virginia. Afterward they made their home in Wheeling, where she and her husband died. The "Spriggs House" in Wheeling was named for her husband, and the proprietors, the Yarnell Brothers, were her grandsons.
