    Excerpt: "Elexious, the youngest son of David and Annie Musick, who was only 4 years old at the time of their capture, cried a great deal on the way and one of the Indians rubbed the young boy's face viciously against the bark of an oak tree. As a result of this ill treatment, Elexious carried scars the remainder of his life." Taken from: David Musick (b. 1752, d. August 12, 1792).
