10. Note: Johannes Hess II was killed by Indians about 1768-1770. A sudden attack by Marauding Indians forced him and his wife to take refuge in the woods, taking with them what food they could hurriedly seize. After a few days, thinking the Indians had left, he ventured from their hiding place, but they were lying in wait and captured him. Scalping and then killing him, within hearing of his wife and kids. The family remain secreted for some time longer, when two of the boys ventured to return to the house, which the Indians had burned. They were captured by the lurking redskins and dragged away. Daniel, aged 9, escaped the second day, but Fredrick aged 16 years was kept prisioner for 3 years.
