This is part of the McIndoo History
written by Norman Eugene McIndoo (Oct 1982)
Shortly after our relatives arrived in Kentucky, John McIndoo (g-son
of John the Scotsman) and his son Joseph, say that James Heady and
John the Scotsman, were among those ordered by the government to run
a keel boat to take provisions and ammunition to the fort at Vincennes.
They floated down the Kentucky & Ohio Rivers to the mouth of the
Wabash River. Then the two sets of men, taking turns, rowed the boat
up stream to Vincennes. In the fall or winter of 1787, on the first trip,
when these men were about 20 miles south of Vincennes, John McIndoo
and an Irishman, who had finished their turn of rowing, thought they
heard wild turkeys, so they went ashore to shoot the turkeys. When
they were some distance from shore, the supposed turkeys proved to be
Indians who suddenly arose from their hiding places, surrounded and
captured these two men. Then the savages heavily loaded them with
property which had been stolen from the white settlements. After
traveling a considerable distance with the Indians who were going
north, John became exhausted under his heavy load, because he was a
small man, while the Irishman, who was large and robust, continued
carrying his load until he escaped. John was brutally tomahawked,
scalped and left dying in the wilderness, which was said to be near the
junction of the White & Eel Rivers near where Worthing is now situated
in Green County, Indiana.
John married Charity HEADY in 1781 in Fayette City, Fayette, Pennsylvania. Charity (daughter of Thomas HEADY, Sr. and Rebecca) was born in 1767 in Jersey City, Hudson, New Jersey; died in 1868 in ,Bartholomew, Indiana; was buried in 1868 in New Hope Cemetery, Bartholomew, Indiana. [Group Sheet]
