http://people.virginia.edu/~mgf2j/warfare.html Fifty-five-year-old John McKee and his pregnant wife Jenny didn't go to Cunningham's after the initial warnings. They sent their children to Timber Ridge, planning to join them later. When the attack came they ran for the woods, but when Jenny faltered McKee kept running. An Indian stopped to knock Jenny in the head with the blunt end of his tomahawk and continued after McKee who made "a short angle" in a thicket and zigzagged through the trees until he found a hiding place. Still conscious, Jenny crawled into a sink hole and bound her head with a handkerchief before dying unscalped.
