Isaac Crabtree, born 1757 in Baltimore County, Maryland, United States; died 1847 in Wayne County, Kentucky; married Sally Pike Aft. January 01, 1780 in Baltimore, Maryland, USA.

Isaac Crabtree, served in the Virginia Militia as did his brothers. In 1773 he was the lone survivor of the James Boone Massacre. A small group of settlers led by Daniel Boone's son, James, was attacked by Indians. This attack convinced Daniel Boone to postpone his settling Kentucky until the Indians became less hostile. The only survivor of the "James Boone Party Massacre" All in the party were killed save Isaac Crabtree and the two Negroes. Adam, after watching the massacre from the driftwood, ran into the woods, tried to find his way back to Castle's Woods but got lost and wandered alone several days before finding his way out.

Negro Charles was taken prisoner and forced to travel with his captors. About forty miles from the scene of the attack, two Indians quarreled over possession of him, each wanting to take him North to sell him. Unable to settle the dispute, the leader of the party slew Charles with a tomahawk; and, then, the disputants ceased to argue.

Isaac Crabtree might have continued on the trail to tell Daniel Boone what had happened to his son; but, instead, he took to the woods and returned to Castle's Woods. Because of the outrage he became deeply embittered toward all Indians and swore revenge; and later he did stir up trouble, which only made Indian threats on the settlers more pronounced.
