Then 3 more generations down to myself.

1) This story is well documented as it appears in "
History of Tazewell County and Southwest Virginia,
1748-1920" by Wm. C. Pendleton and "History
of Middle New River" published in 1906
by David E. Johnston. The John McGriff refered
to was my grgrgrgrgrandfather and his son Thomas
 McGriff my grgrgrgreat uncle. In 1774 bands of
Virginia militia were being formed to march to Ohio
to join Colonel Andrew Lewis and would ultimately
participate in the Battle of Point Pleasant. While
 these companies were being enlisted and assembled,
a small band of Shawnee Indians came up the Tug
River, crossed over to and down Wolf Creek to
New River in what is now Giles County, Virginia.
They proceeded up the stream to the homes of
John Lybrook and John McGriff on the East
 side of New River. just below the mouth of Sinking
Creek. On Sunday, August 7, 1774 they made an
attack upon a group of children who were playing
on the bank of the river. Three of Lybrook's children,
one a nursing infant, a young women by the name of
Scott, and two little girls of a visiting neighbor, a
Mrs Snidow, were killed. John Lybrook was at the
small mill he had built near his home and was wounded
in the arm. John McGriff shot and mortally wounded
one of the Indians. Several years later the remains of
the Indian were found under rocks at the base of a cliff
 near the scene of the tragedy. Three small boys,
Theophilus and Jacob Snidow and Thomas McGriff,
were made captives and taken away by the Indians.
On the following Wednesday night, while camping on
Pipestem Knob on Blue Lake in present Summers
County, West Virginia, two of the boys, Jacob Snidow
and Thomas McGriff, made a daring and successful
escape by hiding in a hollow tree until the Indians got
tired of looking for them and left with their remaining
prisoner, Theophilus Snidow. As the poor boys were
working their way back home they were met by a
band of militia sent to try to rescue them. The two boys
were safely returned home to their families. Many
 years later, Theophilus Snidow would be returned
 home in a prisoner exchange but would die shortly
thereafter suffering greatly as a slave of the Indians.
Jacob Snidow would remain in the Giles County area
and has many descendants still living there today.
Thomas McGriff went on to enlist in the Revolutionary
War in the South Carolina Militia at 16 years old.
He survived the war and eventually moved to
Preble County, Ohio where he and his 11 children
 have many descendants today.


2) All of the following is taken from "The Descendants of
Peter Simmons, Brunswick Co., VA" With Allied Lines of
Hiatt, Mills, Patton, James, Harless, and McGriff, by
Gwen Boyer Bjorkman 
1973 P166: (History of the Middle New River Settlements,
y David E. Johnston, 1906 P 42-46): "One of the marauding
parties left the north bank of the Ohio River making their
way up to the settlements of the Lybrooks, Champmans, and
Snidows, and after prowling around several days it was
discovered by some of the settlers that they were in the
neighborhood, and thereupon most of the families took refuge
in the forts for safety. The family of John Chapman abandoned
their house and went to the Fort. The Indians burned his house
which was the second they had destroyed for him. It has already
been stated that the Chapmans, Lybrooks, McKenseys and
Snidows had a fort on the bank of New river, at the extreme
upper end of the farm now known as the Horsehoe, and that
Adam Harman had a fort or block house at Gunpowder
Spring, in which his family and perhaps others had taken
shelter. Philip Lybrook and a man by the name of McGriff
had built their cabins in a little bottom just below the mouth
of Sinking Creek on the farm lately known as that of Croft
or Hale, and were engaged in the cultivation of a small crop
 of corn on the bottom lands. Mr. Lybrook had built a small
mill on the spring branch. As was the custom in that dya,
when people were few in the country, for the young people
to assemble or get together on Sunday, and so it happened
that on Sunday the 7th of August 1774, that some of the
children of Mrs. Elizabeth Snidow, who has heretofore
been mentioned and a young woman by the name of Scott
went on a visit from the Fort to Lybrook's and McGriff's.
Mr Lybrook was busy about his mill, McGriff was in the
house and the young people and the smaller children were
at the river. Two of the young men, a Snidow and Baltzer
Lybrook, were out some distance in the river bathing, and
three or four of the little boys were playing in the water near
the bank, and a young woman, the daughter of Lybrook, was
out in the river in a canoe with some of the small children
 therein, when an Indian was discovered on the high bank
overlooking the brink of the river, and the alarm was given.
The two young men in the river made for the opposite shore,
the Indians in the mean time began to shoot at them. Being
expert swimmers they turned upon their backs their faces
being turned to the Indians, enabled them to watch their
 movements. The four small boys playing in the water near
the edge of the river, were, viz. Theophilus Snidow, Jacob
Snidow, Thomas McGriff, and John Lybrook. There were
some deep gullies washed down through the banks of the
 river, by way of which wild animals had made their way to
 the river to get water, and when the little boys discovered
the Indians, they attempted to escape by way of these
breaks in the bank, and as they did so the Indians would
head them off. Finally an Indian stooped down and placed
one hand on his knee as a rest for his gun, and attempted
to shoot one of the young men in the river, and at this
moment John Lybrook, a boy only eleven years old, ran
under the muzzle of his gun and made for the house. So
soon as the Indian fired, he pursued John, and coming to
one of the gullies which had washed out to about the width
of twelve feet, the Indian close upon him, John leaped the
gully, and the Indian finding he could not, threw his lariat
at him, striking him on the back of the head, at the same
 time tumbling into the gully. By this time the two young
men in the river had reached the opposite shore, and
were hidden behind the trees, and discovering that John
had safely crossed the gully, they cried out to him,
'Run Joh run", and John ran, and safely reached
the house. While this was transpiring Miss Lybrook,
who was standing in the rear end of the canoe, was
pushing the same to the shore, when an Indian,
who was hiding in the weeds on the bank of the river
came to the water's edge and reached out as the
canoe touched the bank, and pulled the front end
of it to the bank, and stepping therein with
his war club began striking the little children
over their heads and taking their scalps. The
rear end of the canoe being down stream. and
having floated near tot he bank, Miss Lybrook
sprang out and started to the house, the Indian
pursuing her. Her cries brought to her assistance
a large dog, which seized the Indian and finally
threw him, but the Indian succeeded in getting to
his feet, and striking the dog with his club, but in
the meantime, the young woman made her escape.
While a part of the Indians were on the river shooting
at the young men int he river, capturing the boys, and
killing the children, a part of them had gone to the mill
and the house. One shot Mr. Lybrook, breaking his arm
and Mr. McGriff shot and mortally wounded one of the
Indians, whose remains were years afterwards found under
a cliff of rocks not far away from the scene of the tragedy.
Three of the little boys, Theophilus Snidow, Thomas McGriff,
and Jacob Snidow, were captured by the Indians and carried
away by them, and after traveling with them for some two or
three days, they formed a plan of escape, and that was to
slip away at night. They reached Pipestem Knob,now in
Summers County, nad there camped for the night. During
the night, and after all things had gotten quiet, two of the
boys, Jacob Snidow, and Thomas McGriff slipped away
from the camp, not being able to arouse the third boy without
awaking the Indians, and thus they were compelled to go
without him. After they had gotten a few hundred yards
from the camp, knowing that they would probably be
pursued, they crawled into a hollow log. In a few minutes
 thereafterthe Indians discovering their absence raised an
 alarmand went in search of the runaways, and even stood on
the log in which the boys were hidden, and in broken English
cried 'Come back, get lost/" Not being able to find the boys
 they gave up the hunt and returned to the camp. So soon
as everything was quiet, the boys came out of their hiding
place snuck through the woods, and made their way to
Culbertson's Bottom on the New River, where they were
afterwards found by some of the scouts from the settlement,
and who were in pursuit of the Indians. In this attack Mr.
Phillip Lybrook was wounded, three of his children and a
young woman by the name of Scott, two of the children,
(small girls) of Mrs. Snidow were killed, and the three boys
captured. The two young men who were in the river when the
attack began, and had reached the farther bank ran across the
ridges to the Gunpowder Spring, Harman's Fort and halloed
across the river to the people in the fort to bring a canoe and
take them over, but the people being afraid they were Indians
 refused to go. After waiting some time, the young men being
afraid of pursuit by the Indians, plunged into the river, and a
young woman, seeing this insisted that they were white men,
ran to the river, jumped into a canoe, and pushed into the
river to meet the swimmers, just in time to save one of them,
who was sinking the third time, and who no doubt had
taken a cramp by reason of exertion and overheating
in his run across the ridges. She carried them safely to
the fort. Who this young woman was, inquiry fails to disclose,
and now will never be known, but she deserves a place
in history. The number of Indians in this marauding party
numbered six, and all this mischief was done by them
 in a very few minutes. The Indians escaped with their
prisoners though they were pursued by a company of men
 under a Captain Clendenin. The night of the 7th of
August was a sad one at the fort. Mrs. Snidow and Mrs.
Lybrook walked the floor throughout the night, weeping
and wringing their hands, and saying that 'they knew where
the dead children were, but their hearts went out for the
 little boys, captives. The pursuing party followed the
Indians down the New River until they met the escaped
captives, and after listening to the story of their escape
and calculating that the Indians were too far ahead to be
 over taken, returned with the boys to the settlement,
reaching there on the Wednesday after their capture on
 Sunday, much to the delight and joy of their mothers and
friends. Theophilus Snidow, the other captive boy,
was carried by the Indians to their towns north of the
Ohio, and when he had reached his manhood returned to
his people, but in delicate health with pulmonary troubles
from which he shortly died. (Lybrook and Snidow Mss.)" 2)
There is a second accounting of the above story
recorded in "The History of Tazewell County And
Southwest Virginia, 1748-1920, by Pendleton, p281-283."
 "A small band of Shawnee Indians came up Tug River,
crossed over to and down Wolf Creek to New River,
and went up the latter stream to the homes of Philip
 Lybrook and John McGriff on the east side of New
River, just below the mouth of Sinking Creek, in the
 present county of Giles. On Sunday, the 7th day of
August, 1774, they made an attack upon a group of
children who were playing on the bank of the river.
 Three of Lybrook's children, one a sucking infant, a
young woman by the name of Scott, and two little girls
 of Mrs. Snidow, were killed; and Lybrook, who was
 at a small mill he had built near his home, was wounded
 in the arm. The children were scalped and mangled in
a very cruel manner. McGriff shot and mortally wounded
 one of the Indians. Some years later the remains of the
 Indian were found under rocks at a cliff near the scene
 of the tragedy. Three small boys, Theophilus and
Jacob Snidow and Thomas McGriff, were made c
aptives and taken away by the Indians. On the following
 Wednesday night, while camping at Pipestem Knob,
in the present Summers County, West Virginia,
 two of the boys, Jacob Snidow, and Thomas
McGriff, made a daring and successful escape.
Colonel Preston had sent Major James Robertson,
 with a scouting party of twenty men to Culbertson's
 Bottome, now known as Crump's Bottom, in Summers
 County, West Virginia, to build a fort and give
 warning to the settlers on the river above.
Robertson wrote to Colonel Preston on the 1st of
August, 1774, reporting, in part, as follows; 'About
three hours ago John Draper came here with thirteen
men, which makes our number 33.' He then reported
 that he was keeping scouts out continually, and had
 seen no fresh signs of Indians for four or five days,
but said; 'as John Draper came down yesterday he
surely seen the tracks of five or six Indians, he says,
on Wolf Creek, and they made towards the
settlements.' This was evidently the same party that
 made the attack upon the Lybrooks and Snidows, as
 Colonel preston reported to Lord Dunmore that there
were but six Indians in the bank that killed the
Lybrook and Snidow children. The Indians had
knowledge of the scouting station at Culbertson's and
had adroitlyavoided Robertson's scouts, by traveling
up Tug, crossing over to Wolf Creek and reaching
New River about twenty miles above where Robertson
was stationed. On the 12th of August he again wrote
Colonel Preston from Culbertson's saying; 'This morning
 our scouts met with a couple of poor little boys between
 this and blue stone, one a son of John McGriff's, the
other a son of Widow Snidow at Burks fort, that made
 their escapes from the Indians, last Tuesday night
about midnight away up towards the Clover Bottoms on
Blue Stone or between that and the lower war road on
Blue Stone."

lists all the soldiers who were stationed at Fort Sullivan (which was
renamed Fort Moultrie after the battle there in June 1776) during the
Rev. War. In these notes, "Pri" means "Private," "6 SC" means "6th
SC Regiment," and "RR" stands for "Roll of South Carolina Soldiers,
Revolutionary War (National Archives, RG93, vol. 9: M-853, roll 16)."
The second record, showing that Thomas enlisted on 3 June 1776, is
actually on M-246, roll 89. What is really interesting about these two
records is that one record shows Thomas enlisting on 3 June 1776,
while the other record shows him already enlisted on 9 April 1776, and
not on any roll after 29 July 1776.

4) The biographies say that Patrick McGriff,
son of Thomas, was born in VA, but on the
1850 Census, Patrick says he was born in SC.
Some speculate that if Thomas McGriff was
in SC during the Rev. War that it might explain
his naming his son Patrick possibly after Col.
Patrick McGriff, who was either a brother or
other relative. There is a record there of a
Thomas McGriff who was a private in Reg 27
 of the SC Militia.
