Her father George told her the story of her grandfather Frederick. Chief cornstalk and his 50 Shawnee braves came down to eat a meal with their family. After they fed the Indians a nice meal they let out a death cry. They hacked the males to death with their tomahawks. Then they scalped all the men. They took all the women and children captive and marched them from Virginia to Ohio. Her father was a young boy who endured the harsh life of an Indian for over a year before being rescued. This shortened oral story has been passed from one generation to another.

This is known as the massacre of Muddy Creek.
