Hugh was killed by indians in the Fall of 1778, one source gave 1780. His family, children and wife taken captive by Indians.
Copied from the Edwards book, page 46, by Lela Lillian Lones.
"During the winter of 1778 great preparations were made for security against any renewed hostilities. The manpower of many settlements was increased by the number of persons immigrating to them. When the invasions began in 1779, the whole frontier was better prepared to protect itself. The Indian raids began in April and continued into Oct. On the upper Monongahela, Hacker's Creek Settlement was abandoned and West's Fort was burned by the Indians.In the month of July 1779 a party of Wyandot Indians from Sandusky River made their appearance in Greenbrier Co., Va. and killed or took prisoners, many of the white citizens, burning or destroying such properties as they could not carry away with them. Among the sufferers was a family by the name of McKivor (McKeever), the wife was Ann (Nancy) Edwards, dau. of Thomas Edwards and Mary Hiatt. The husband and father was shot down in his own doorway, and the mother and 3 small children, the youngest but an infant of 6 months was taken prisoners. The house was pillaged and burned and the prisoners hurried away towards the Indian headquarters on the Sandusky River. The woman could, in after years, could give but little idea of their line of travel further that this: That the Indians, fearing pursuit, took the most direct route to Upper Sandusky. Soon after reaching Upper Sandusky, the youyngest child died and the other two, both girls were taken from her to some place unknown. Here she remained a prisoner and slave 3 years and 9 months. In the spring of 1783, by the aid of an Indian trader by the name of Isaac Zane, she made her escape and got back to her family in Hampshire Co., Va. For a more complete account of Ann Edwards McKeever, as written by a grandson, see the history of Licking Co., Ohio, pages 505 - 606.
Hale, in Trans Allegheny pioneers Page 248, mentions the date of 1780. The Indian raid into Greenbrier and the killing of John Pryor and Hugh McKeever and the capture of their wives.
From the sources of Maude Pugh in her writings, and from Charles House, we
are able to establish a connection to indicate another daughter of Thomas and
Mary Edwards.Nancy married Hugh McIvor, McKeever, who was killed by Indians about 1778. Nancy was taken captive, along with her children. She was able to escape after about 5 years, but never again saw any of her children. She then appears to have married Samuel Parks, her sisters husband, after Hannah died.
In the Edwards book by Lela Lillian Lones, 1985, page 35, she records the
story as told by Maude Pugh. Maude published the Hiatt version of the
incident, called the Greenbrier Incident.No two histories agree in detail reguarding this incident, nor do they
mention the children and the return of the mother. All but one give the year
as the spring of 1778, the exception mentions 1780.
We have no real explanation as to why Nancy is not mentioned in the will of her father, except that perhaps she had still not escaped the Indians, or
perhaps she had been disowned by the Quaker Church, and her family.
Also sent by Charles House, he came to the same conclusion independently,
and writes that Nancy may be the daughter of Thomas Edwards and Mary Hiatt. He also wrote about the Indian incident and further that she had two daughters and an infant child 6 months old.
The life story of Nancy Edward McKeever Park is an unusual and dramatic
one. Although the date of her marriage is not known, it appears that Nancy Ann Edwards married Hugh McKeever (or McIvor) and they went to live in the valley of the Greenbriar River in Vir, remote from any white settlements. They were the parents of 3 children. In July 1779 a party of Wyandot Indians from the Sandusky River raided the area killing and taking prisoner many of the white settlers. Hugh McKeever was shot down in his own door-yard and Nancy and her three small children were taken prisoner and carried away to Upper Sandusky. The youngest child, an infant of six months, died on the trail and Nancy Ann was separated from her other two daughters and never saw them again. She was held a prisoner and slave for three years and nine months until the Spring of 1783 when with the aid of an Indian trader by the name of Isaac Zane she escaped and returned to Hampshire County, Vir. On Nov 7, 1785 at Winchester, Vir., Nancy Ann and Samuel Park were married. They were the parents of 6 children, the first born of whom was John Park who was born in Hampshire County on Feb.6, 1786. Samuel died in Hampshire Co., Feb 18, 1815 and their son John who was then living in Union Township, Ohio, returned to Vir. and brought his mother to his home in Licking Co., where she lived for 14 years and until her death.See above source, page 46-47.
During the Winter of 1778, greater preparations were made for security against any renewd hostilities. The manpower of many settlements was increased by the nubmer of persons emmigrating to them. When the invasions began in 1779, the whole frontier was better prepared to protect itself. TheIndian raids began in April and continued into October. On the Upper Monongahela, Hacker's Creek settlement was abandoned and West's Fort was burned by the Indians.
"In the month of July, 1779, a party of Wyandot Indians from Sandusky River made their appearance in Greenbriar County, Virginia, and killed or took prisoners many white citizens, burning or destorying such property as they could not carry away with them. Among the sufferers was a family by the name of McKeepver. (The wife was Nanncy Ann Edwards, daugher of Thomas Edwards and Mary Hiatt.) THe husband and father were shot down in his own dooryard and hte mother and three small children, the youngest but an infant of six months, were taken prisoners. THe house was pillaged and burned, and the prisoners hurried away toward the Indian Headquarters on the Sandusky River. The women could in after years give but little idea of their line of travel further than this: That the Indians, fearing pursuit, took the most direct route to Upper Sandusky. Soon after reaching Upper Sandusky, the youngest child died, and hte other two, both girls, were taken from her to some place to her unknown. Here she remained a prisoner and slave three yeasr and nine months. --- In the Spring of 1783, by the aid of an Indian trader by the name of Isaac Zane, she made her escape and got back to her family (IN Hapshire County)." For a more complete account of Ann Edwards McKeever as written by a grandson, see The History of Licking County, OH. Pages 605-606.
Hale, in Tans Allegheny Pioneers, page 248, mentions the date of 1780, the Indian raid into Greenbrier andthe killing of John Pryor and Hugh McIvor (McKeever), and the capture of their wives.
Hannah (Edwards) Parke, daughter of Thomas Edwards and Mary HIATT, deid after the birth of her twin daughters, Mary and Martha, on 3 October 1784. The widower, Samuel Parke, son of Andrew Parke and Rachael Moseley, married Hannah's sister, Ann McKeever, on 11 November 1785.
Hostilities on the Viriginia frontier lessened but did nto cease after the treaty terminated the Revolutinary War in 1783. The Indians were less able to carry on the war against the border country without the aid of the British.
Small war parties continued to harass the settlements of Ohio, Kentucky, and Virginia until the treaty with the Indians, 3 August 1795. The raids were primarily horse stealing, though some murders resulted and some inhabitants were carried into captivity.
This dau. was one that was taken captive by the indians in the 1778 raid
against Greenbrier, Hampshire Co., Va. She was never heard from again.
This child, sex not known, was taken with the mother and other children by
the Indians. The infant child of 6 months died when after the party had
reached the Upper Sandusky River, a stronghold of the raiding Indians.
