(Staunton, Virginia: C.R. Caldwell, 1902).

    ... Early one morning in March, 1780, [William] Montgomery, on going to the
    door of his cabin, was shot and killed by Indians, as was a negro boy by his side.
    Mrs. Montgomery and her youngest child were at Logan's, and her sons Thomas and
    Robert, were absent "spying." Her daughter Jane managed to close the door and
    keep out the savages, while William, a brother of Jane, who lived in an adjoining
    cabin, firing his gun through the opening, killed one Indian and wounded another.
    John, another brother, was shot dead in his bed. While this was going on, Betsy
    Montgomery, some twelve years of age, climbed out of a chimney and fled to
    Pettit's Station, two and a half miles off, with the news of the assault.
    Though pursued by an Indian, she arrived in safety. All the survivors of the
    family then at home, except young William and Jane Montgomery, were marched off
    by the Indians as prisoners. The savage who had pursued Betsy returned after his
    comrades had left and was shot by William from his cabin. ...

    until his death in 1794. ...
