Memories of A.D. Harper;
Killed by the Indians at North Bend, OH where Gen. Harrison's house now stands.
Saw Lord Cornwallae surrender his sword to Gen. O. Harty and Washington at York Town which closed the Revolutionary War.
BIOGRAPHY: The following narrative was related by the Hon. J. Scott HARRISON, son of President HARRISON, in an address
~pg 322 of Hamilton County History~ to the Whitewater and Miami Valley Pioneer association, at Cleves, September 8, 1866:
A party of men residing at the Point (mouth of Big Miami), were returning from a small mill near North Bend, and with one exception, stopped at the old log house lately occupied by Andrew Mc'DONALD, where a tavern was then kept; and as this was before the days of temperance societies, it is a very fair inference that they stopped to take a drink.
One man (DEMOSS) more temperate, perhaps, than his fellows, continued on his way up the hill - the trace to the Point then running over the hill, near the old graveyard, and on the bluff of the ridge. The revelers had hardly time to accomplish the object of their stop before the report of a rifle was heard on the hill. The party at the tavern, supposing it was only an intimation from their more sober companion to cease their revels and continue their way home, rushed out of the house with a wild whoop, mounted their horses, and rode up the hill. But what must have been the horror of the party, on arriving at the crown of the hill, to find their companion dead and weltering in his blood! The undischarged rifle of DEMOSS, and the missing meal-bag, too plainly explained the manner and cause of his death. Pursuit was immediately given, in a northwesterly direction, and the meal, but not the Indian, found. The Indian, in order to save his own life, had dropped that which had evidently incited him to commit the murder.

Catherine Demoss, (also spelled as Demos), is reported to have been born in what was then Frederick County, Virginia* in 1743. The identification of her parents has yet to be fully proven. A good possibility is William Demoss born 22 Sep 1716 in Deer Creek Hundred, Baltimore County, Maryland, and died 1770 in that area of Frederick County which now lies in Berkeley County, West Virginia**, and his wife Rachel Winchell born 1717 at Deer Creek Hundred. William's parents are Louis DeMoss III born 1694 in Holland, died 19 Mar 1743 most likely at Opequon, Frederick County, Virginia***, and Catherine Callet, born 1684 in Harford County, Maryland, died 1743 at Opequon, Frederick County, Virginia.
