The story of the prisoners is most interesting. After the war in October 1782, Virginia Governor Harrison wrote George Washington to get the release of the prisoners. A few remained as prisoners for 15 years until the 1795 Treaty by General Wayne near Chillicothe, Ohio where there was an exchange program. Two children of Capt Ruddle were adopted by their tribe, and when grown, took Indian wives. Later one became a missionary for the Coopers Run Meeting House.
Lets return to the war zone.
Yes, General Clark was really on the way with help. He had decided that Kentuckians had to chase the Indians or they would return and molest them many times. He issued orders for all able bodied men to meet at Covington August 1st and about 1,000 of them were there when he arrived. They crossed the Ohio, marched 80 miles northward to sack Chillicothe Ohio. The Indians had retreated, so Clark continued northward to Piqua, Ohio.
