[1335] Sargent, in picturing the condition of society which thus existed, finds much help in Joseph Doddridge’s Notes of the Settlement and Indian wars of the western parts of Virginia and Pennsylvania, 1763-1783, with a view of the state of society and manners of the first settlers of the western country, Wellsburgh, Va., 1824. (Sargent, Braddock’s Exped., p. 80; Thomson, Bibl. of Ohio, no. 331.) Doddridge was reprinted, with some transpositions, in Kercheval’s Hist. of the Valley of Virginia (Winchester, 1833, and Woodstock, 1850,—Thomson, nos. 668-9); and verbatim at Albany in 1876, edited by Alfred Williams, and accompanied by a memoir of Doddridge by his daughter (Thomson, no. 332).
Another monograph of interest in this study is John A. M’Clung’s Sketches of Western Adventure ... connected with the Settlement of the West from 1755 to 1794, Maysville, Ky., 1832. Some copies have a Philadelphia imprint. There were editions at Cincinnati in 1832, 1836, 1839, 1851, and at Dayton in 1844, 1847, 1852, 1854. An amended edition, with additions by Henry Waller, was printed at Covington, Ky., 1872. (Thomson, Bibliog. of Ohio, nos. 745-749.)
Of some value, also, is Wills De Hass’s History of the Early Settlement and Indian Wars of Western Virginia, previous to 1795, Wheeling, 1851. (Thomson, no. 318.)
[1336] James Maury gives a contemporary comment on this harassing of the frontiers. Maury’s Huguenot Family, p. 403. Samuel Davies pictures them in his Virginia’s Danger and Remedy (Williamsburg, 1756).
