Person:Richard Rue (3)

Where did the researcher find source 4? Which group of first people captured Rue? Simon Girty worked with the Seneca, Delaware, Shawnee, and Wyandot. Probably one of these groups. Cherokee were in Kentucky in 1771 and robbed Daniel Boone. Might they bee Cherokee instead? Fort Harrod in Kentucky was not started until 1774. First [white] settlers were not in Louisville until 1778. https://www.cs.mcgill.ca/~rwest/wikispeedia/wpcd/wp/h/History_of_Louisville%252C_Kentucky.htm

   Letter Written by Joseph Holman on behalf of his father George Holman.
   Richmond Wayne Cty., Indiana March 17th 1856
   Dear Sir
   
   George Holman an old Revolutionary pensioner of this County, has applied for his land Warrant, which is refused, for some cause. Please have the matter arranged at the proper department, If there is no law providing for these Revolutionary Soldiers, there should certainly be one passed for their benefit. They have served almost half a lifetime in oppression & hard service where others in all other wars for 14 days upward can get a warrant under circumstances much more favorable.
   
   George Holman in 1771 (then a lad about 19 years old under his Uncle Edward Holman) lived at Boons Station in Kentucky. he and Richard Rue were sent as guard for Evin Hinton in the month of February who was employed as an under Commisary to kill & salt Buffalo meat for Col. Slaughter's army there in Louisville Kentucky, and where marching from one point to the other with a waggon they were all taken prissioner by the Indians. Simon Girty with the party of Indians. They killed Hinton after they arrived at the Indian Town. They sold Rue to the British at Detroit and kept Holman as an Indian. Adopted him in the family of Logan. Rue & Holman being released returned home 3 1/2 years after they were taken . Soon after the Indian troubles began again. When Gen'l. Clark gathered a force & marched to Vincennes and retook that fort, and then marched nothward within the Territory of Illinois untill their provisions gave out. Then Col Barnett's Regiment fired their guns & returned for home After Gen'l. Clark, Col. Todd, and Capt. Morris or Morrison, the latter commander the light horsemen of whom George Holman was one a volunteer, found his own horse & equippage; at the retreat of Col. Barnetts Regiment, a council was held; the result was that they all returned for home each were allowed to make their way home as best they could, without provission. Holman lived alone on parched corn & meat until he arrived at Gen'l. Wells Station in Kentucky.
   
   From the year 1776 he lived in kentucky in a garrison and when he could on a farm untill he was taken prisioner when released in 1784. he sowed occasionally through all the troubles of the country untill all the war was done.
   
   Rue & Holman by settlement was entitled to a town lot in the heart of Louisville as it now is in Kentucky. Their absence as prisioners, and the records being burnt, they lost them.
   
   Their services under Gen'l. Clark entitled them to their shares in Clarks Grant, but owing to their absence as prissioners and thereby a want of knowledge, as to what was going on in reference to the matter they were shut out, equal justice would give them their proportionate share in cash or in the lands of the Government, equal to the present value of their lands now, without their improvements, Neither of them have asked the Government for any special favor. When the law passed allowing them, with other pensioners, they applied & procured a small pittance, say $80 per annum each. They moved from Kentucky in 1805 near Richmond in Wayne Cty, Indiana and then in the War of 1812, they were on the frontier & generally harrasssed, were scouting as spies and marching to the Delaware towns, on White River, under my son Capt William Holman & Col. George Hunt who marched a volunteer company into the Indian Country, and was more than sixty days in that employ at that time, have not received any warrant or any other compensation therefor.
   
   Please so arrange the whole matter, in such manner as that equal justice may be done for te foregoing Revolutionary Soldiers that may they have their proper due, as others; and by so doing you will confer a great favor on the undersigned.
   
   Should it be found necessary to employ an attorney to aid you, owing to your quantity of business do so by paying him out of the proceeds recovered or obtained & pay according to the work done; say pay well We have written to Noland and English
   
   Very Respectfully your friend,
   
   George Holman
   
   Joseph Holman
   ==========
   >> in the War of 1812, they were on the frontier & generally harrasssed, were scouting as spies and marching to the Delaware towns, on White River,
   
   If Rue was in Indiana during the War of 1812 then why does the pension record say he served in the Kentucky Militia?

    The Author’s pioneer ancestors were early settlers in the western movement, sometimes trekking roughly cleared pathways behind teams of oxen. Family meetings and marriages at New Ipswich, NH, Watervliet, NY, New Castle, KY, Richmond, IN, Old Oxford, IL, Mt. Pleasant, IW, Firth, NE, and Denver, CO, form the basis of this historical and genealogy story. Family chronicles, deeds, wills, census records, tombstones and written biological sketches form the basis for this book. Research was conducted in 87 counties in 22 states from Maine to Colorado, and also Wales, Scotland and England, over a 16 year period.-----------at least pages 160 and 161 mention Richard Rue, there may be more----1810 elected representative of Dearborn County to territorial legislature---Larue county, KY is named for him---will of Richard Rue 1839, codicil 1844
