MCFALL, JOHN Sr. (c.1728-c.1807) John McFall is listed among the prisoners "taken from their farms" during the attacks on Ruddell's and Martin's forts.
MCFALL, BARBARA. Mrs. McFall was the wife of John McFall and was captured with her family at Ruddell's Station. She was liberated in 1782 during George Rogers Clark's raid into Ohio. She is listed alongside her husband, John, in the Pennsylvania Gazette article, dated August 13, 1783, as a prisoner of the Indians. In the 1846 History of Ohio, the reminiscences of Abraham Thomas were published and said "a party of Indians on horseback with their squaws came out of a trace that led to some Indian villages near the present site of Granville. They were going on a frolic, or powwow, to be held at Piqua, and had with them a Mrs. McFall, who was some time before taken prisoner from Kentucky; the Indians escaped into the woods leaving their women, with Mrs. McFall, to the mercy of our company. We took those along with us to Piqua and Mrs. McFall returned to Kentucky.
