In 1763 during a skirmish with a party of Indians along the South Branch near this fort, Abraham Kuykendall was seriously wounded by a musket ball through his body and later petitioned the Virginia House of Burgess for compensation but denied. (I mention this to prove that he is not the Abraham (b. 1719) (son of Cornelius and Martije)who came into North Carolina in 1753 and remained until his death in 1812. This was ten years before Abraham (b. ca 1730) of Virignia (son of Jacob and Sarah)was wounded. Suggested reading for serious reseachers is "Frontier Forts Along the Potomac and its Tributaries" by William H. Ansel, Jr."The History of Hardy County 1786-1986" by Richard K. MacMaster. (Hardy Co was cut off from Hampshire.)"History of the Early Settlement and Indian Wars of West Virginia" by Wills De Hass. These three books with sources, will tell you probably more than you want to know.
