Wayne, thanks so much on the information regarding Agnes Laforce. Those inerested should know that in the Sept./Oct 2002 issue of American Spirit Magazine, DAR publication, p. 39 there is some data. The article titled Revolutionary Women Patriots by Hazel Kreinheder "Women patriots on the frontier endured extreme hardships and even death. On June 26, 1780, a combined force of British and Indians under the command of Capt. Henry Bird attacked American settlers in Kentucky County, Va. The combined force captured a group of settlers living on Licking Creek, amomg were --then The Duncan family, the families of the widows LaForce and Mahon, and the families etc. The prisoners were marched from Licking Creek to Canada. Camp John Duncan's recollection of the march from Kentucky via Detroit and Fort Niagra, N.Y. to Montreal appear in the Draper Manuscript Collection at the Wisconsin Historical Society".
As I live in the Chicago areaI am hoping to get to Wisconsin and see the manuscript. I am the 5th g.grandaughter of Rene/Sara LaForce through their daughter Sarah/Wm Harding >Giles>George>Wm. Oliver>Leslie>Nancy Harding Clark then me. Hope the above will help.
Sincerely,
June Clark Chapek
