Notes

Known as "Old Lonely Ice" because he always lived around by himself and wasn't very friendly. He told that the indians had murdered his mother and sweetheart and stolen off his brother and 2 sisters and that he had killed 16 of them for it. The account continues about the murder of John Ice in 1797 not by indians but by a group of outlaws known as "Old Doanes Whelps" while working for President Madison.
