Note 9 — CHRONICLES OF BORDER WARFARE (continued 4)

This foray took place March 6––not the 14th, as in the text––at Shawnee Springs, four miles north-east of Harrodsburg. The whites––James Ray, William Ray, Thomas Shores, and William Coomes––were sugar-making, when attacked by about seventy Shawnees, under Black Fish. William Ray was killed, and Shores taken prisoner. James Ray outran his pursuers and gave the alarm. The unsuccessful attack on the incomplete fort of Harrodsburg occurred early the following morning, the 7th. Other brief attacks on Harrodsburg, were on March 18 and 28.––R. G. T.
