    Notes 
    • Frederick See and his father George See were one of the early settlers of Augusta County, Virginia arriving in about 1743. Frederick built his cabin home along the Greenbrier river on what was called Muddy Creek. In 1755, war broke out between France and England and the French incited the Native Americans to make war on the back-country settlers of Virginia. Many of the settlers moved to safer areas. In 1762 the Greenbrier settlement was renewed, but it wasn't safe.

      Chief Cornstalk led a party of 80 or 90 Shawnees crossed over the Ohio River and swept up the Kanawha in July 1863. They came to the Frederick See cabin in a friendly manner. The Sees welcomed them, and as it was near to mealtime they offered to share their food with the Indians. After the meal was finished, the Shawnees lounged around for a bit and rested. Suddenly they fell upon their family, killing Fredrick Michael See, his son-in-law (Littleberry Roach) and Felty Yocum, Frederick's cousin.

      The women and children were taken prisoners.
