of California; Baltimore, 1925 John Hopkins Press; pg 135, Appendix I;
"FORT NEALLY. Fort Neally was a small stockade structure on Opequon River in
what is now Berkeley Co., WVA. It was attacked and captured at daybreak Sept.
17, 1756, by a band of Indians who massacred the garrison, and then carried
away a number of prisoners from the vicinity. Among these prisoners was
Isabella Stockton, a little girl ten years old. Her story, as given by
Samuel Kercheval, is as remarkable as it is interesting and romantic.
Sometime after her return from captivity she became the wife of Colonel
William McCleery, prominent in the early history of Monongalia County. The
story of her captivity has been a theme of exciting interest around the
firesides of homes in and about Martinsburg for a hundred and fifty years says
Vergil A. Lewis. (pp 211-212)

McConnell's Co., Col. Joseph Armstrong's reg., Cumberland Co., PA militia, He
located in Fleming Co., KY, where he died.
"THE STOCKTON FAMILY OF NJ", DR.T.C.STOCKTON, 1911, APPENDIX, PG 248; SAME AS
CREAGER, AND CITES COLLINS HISTORY OF KY (in part) "George Stockton who,
in his infancy, had been taken prisoner together with his sister, by the
Indians in VA, and carried to NY, there remained until he became too much
attached to the Indian manner of living, that the desire to see his friends
and family could scarely overcome his reluctance to part with those whom
association had made dear. After he had grown up, he accompanied his tribe
on a trading expedition to PA, and there determined to visit his friends in
VA. A fondness for forest life had so intertwined itself with his very
nature, that he could ill support the dull uniformity of society, and he
soon set out for KY to enjoy the glorious solitude and freedom of the
woods. He settled at Stockton's station, in sight of Flemingsburg, in 1787
... He was a member of the Convention of 1792, which formed the first
constitution of KY, held in Danville.
HISTORY OF FLEMING CO., KY, FIRST 100 YEARS, by R.S. Cotterill, O.S.V.
Library 537197-g976.9 c847hi; "George was born 20 JAN 1745 in Frederick Co.,
VA; In SEP 1756 at the beginning of the French and Indian war, George and
his sister Isabella were carried away as captives by a raiding party of
French Indians who took them north to the vicinity of Detroit. George
became fond of indian life. He had lost interest in civilized life. Finally
in 1766 he accompanied an indian hunting party into PA and took the
opportunity to visit his parents in VA. His mothers entreaties finally
persuaded him to permanently settle down at home. He was a giant of a man, 6
feet 3 inches in height and possessed enormous strenghth and vitality. In
1775 he married Rachel Dorsey of a well known MD family. (the daughter of
Richard Dorsey of Ann Arundel Co., MD)
CLIFF NEILSON NOTES: "According to "The Kentucky Encyclopedia", Lexington, The
University Press of KY, (no date), p. 229: Cotterill was born in Fleming Co.,
KY in 1884 and died in Tallahassee, FL in 1967. At his dean, 'he had
completed in draft form a well-researched history of Fleming County, KY'. He
received a PhD from the Univ. of WI and was a life-long historian and college
professor." Cliff discovered Cotterill thoroughly documented the
continental U.S. portions of his 2 works (History of Fleming Co., KY and John
Fleming, Pioneer of Fleming Co.) and used Cotterills sources to prepare his
Robert Stockton manuscript.
