Note 14 — CHRONICLES OF BORDER WARFARE (continued 6)

I am informed by S. R. Harrison, of Clarksburg, W. Va., that the bodies of the victims were buried about five rods from the house, and “the graves are yet marked by the original rude stones.” Mr. Harrison continues, “This burial ground, and also where the house stood, had never been disturbed until March, 1888––a hundred and seven years after the massacre––when the ground about the site of the house was plowed; many interesting relics were turned up, among them a compass and sun-dial in a copper case. I myself found a number of relics among the charred ruins of the house.”––R. G. T.
