Note 23 — Chapter II
Reading edition
Little Grave Creek flows into the Ohio from the West Virginia side, a hundred miles below Pittsburg. The village of Elizabethtown now lies at its mouth, upon the left bank. A mile below is Big Grave Creek; and Moundsville, West Virginia, is between the two streams. Near here, frontiersmen murdered a number of Shawnee, in 1774, leading to Lord Dunmore’s War. For other historic incidents of this locality, see Cuming’s Tour, volume iv of our series, notes 77, 78.—Ed.
