Research Notes

Samuel V. Smock was was present at the Indian attack that saw his brother Matthias [Mathew] killed, and his two brothers Peter and John captured. He suffered only a wound to his arm, this occurring sometime between 1793 and 1794.

Per son John, his father's family "moved from Mercer County to Shelby County [Kentucky] and settled on a creek called Bullskin, six or seven miles west of Shelbyville. Here they were very much annoyed by the Indians. I had one uncle killed [Mathias/Matthew Smock], and two uncles taken prisoners, Peter and John Smock. Father [Samuel] was wounded in the arm at the same time. I also had a cousin tomahawked and scalped and left for dead, but he survived, got well and lived some years afterwards. His name was Isaac Robbins, brother to William Robbins, an early settler in Shelby Township, in Jefferson County, Indiana."
