m1.John GREEN-at least 4 children m2.Unknown MOORE-3 children m3.John SPURGEON John and Mary GREEN had 3 daughters and a son This John GREEN was killed by Indians in 1788 on the run near the Cheat Cheat River in (West) Virginia. The son was also killed, two daughters were kidnapped, and a daughter, Sally, escaped during the Indian raid. At the time he was killed, John Green was killed John Green was preparing to build a mill on Green's Run which was named after him. The two daughters were eventually rescued and married traders. ... This John Green had built a cabin to the West of Morgan's Run in Monogalia County, (West) Virginia, near an overlooking bluff near a second stream called Green's Run. This land was part of 400 acres he had pattented in 1783. W. Scott Friend, a grandson of Sarah Green, who was abducted in the Indian raid is told:

"John Green was an early settler on Cheat River in Western Virginia, where he pattented a tract of land in 1783. In the spring of 1788 hostile Indians attacked the Green Settlement. They shot Sarah, a half-grown daughter, in the arm. She feel(sic) and the red men attacked the family in the cabin. There was a fight, but the father was taken outside and tomahawked. The mother, with a baby in her arms, and two girls, were made captives. As they marched westward, the baby cried so much the savages became annoyed. Two men led the mother ahead while another took the baby. When she turned to look she saw the Indian beat out his brains against a sapling. Mrs. Mary Green was kept a prisoner for four years. There were several prisoners at the Indian camp when a feast was held. One of the prisoners gave their guard a bottle of whiskey. While he slept they escaped. They traveled four days to the settlement with only some turkey eggs to suck. Mrs. Green married a Spurgeon. The girls remained with the Indians until they were ransomed by two white traders, whom they married - Elizabeth to Andrew Johnson and Mary to a man named Surhaver. When the
Indians attacked the family in the cabin, Sarah hid under the root of a tree. After they left she made her way to friends. Her arm was
permanently crippled. She married Joseph Friend of Friendsville.
Joseph and Sarah deeded one hundred acres of the Green property to Moses Royse in 1796."

"The story from a different perspective, and in some points in contrast, and with additional facts is told:"

"Overshadowing all else in excitement during the year 1788 was the Indian raid occurring near Kingswood. In the course of this raid, John Green and his family were the innocent victims of another settler's deeds. To the west of Morgan's Run in MonongaliaCounty, Virginia, flowed a second stream called Green's Run, where, near the overlooking bluff, John Green built his cabin. (In after years when a little girl named Lillian Byrne Morris played around it, a deserted log structure near the ford on the Cheat River, she called 'the Faery House'. Its site was part of 400 acres John had patented in 1783. In the attack, six Mingos led by a Shawne ... attack(ed) ... in retribution for an old ignominy ... in 1799. In 1779, David Morgan, whose home was on the Run paralleling Green's, Run had killed two Indians, flayed them and had their skins tanned and made into shot pouches and saddle seats ... he also presented pieces of skin to his friends as trophies. When they came, the Indians mistook Green's Run for Morgan's Run. When they arrived at the Green cabin, all the family were inside, except 11 year old Sarah (or Sally) , who had gone out to the spring for water. A Daniel Lewis had been nearby splitting rails, and (for) protection had John Green's gun. The Indians first slew Mr. Lewis, they then fired at Sally for they saw her leave the house. They wounded her in the hand or wrist. She fell and threw her bloody hand over her face. While the Indians concentrated on the cabin she crawled into a depression, under a 'clay root' where a tree had blown down, and surrounded by laurel and brush, there concealed herself. It is told how John stood at the door of his house with an axe in his hands which he wielded mightily against the Indians, but they overpowered him and killed him. The Indians, aware their situation in the settler's country was precarious, knew they must hasten, so while they would take Mrs. Green and the two older daughters as prisoners to their western villages (Ohio country), the baby, who would hamper their speed, should be slain. Scott Friend, her descendant said, "The hardest thing grandmother had to go through
with was losing her babe. The old cheif told the men to take her
and run off with her. A big Indian stepped up and took the babe.
She looked back just in time to see the the Indian take the baby by
the heels and knock its head against the house. When Sarah dared
to come out, she saw her baby brother dead, brained against the cabin's chimney. Her father was where he had fallen in his lost battle, and out in the field was the lifeless body of Mr. Lewis ... Sally wrapped her buckskin strings of her bonnet around her wounded arm and made her way to Butler's Fort. She stood on the bank opposite and waved her red scarf until someone in the fort noticed her and came in a boat across the Cheat (River) and got her.' Some histories state Mrs. Green was released, but Scott stated she escaped. Regarding her experiences, he said, "Grandmother Green said the Indians would come in with wet moccasins, and have the squaws pull them off. The sqaws would get hominy for supper, then take the deer the men had killed and turn the maw out and empty it into the stew. (In this way Grandmother Green was getting excellent food for the partially digested moss and twigs contained valuable vitamins, but she, imbued with white man's views, did not conceive the fact).
Sometimes they cut up a deer whole and put it into the pot. It made her sick, but had to eat their food. She lived with them four years then escaped. Some traders aided her. They attended an Indian
dance, they then gave a quart of rum to the Indian Indian guards,
and when the Indians were sleeping, grandmother escaped. The traders hid her in a hollow log. Over it the searching Indians actually walked looking for her, but failed to discover the hiding hiding place. She said, afterwards, her heartbeat was so loud that she was afraid the Indians would hear it.' Travelling early in the morning while the Indians were sleeping, they all succeeded in reaching safety."
