I - Concerning the deaths of Burton Litton and William Priest at the hands of the Indians the following description is contained in the Revolutionary War pension affidavit of Isaac Crabtree September 27, 1832 . “In the next year, 1778, he again turned out a volunteer Ranger, he thinks about the last of May, and went to the Elk Garden Fort, joined Capt. John Kincaid and ranged about that Fort. He states that Col. (then Capt., later Col.) Daniel Smith came to Fort and took him and several other men, making 10, and went down the Clinch, and as they came to Glade Hollow Fort, they met about the same number of Indians. He, and Burton Litton and William Priest were some distance in front of the others when they met the Indians. The Indians were laying in ambush in two sinkholes, and on each side of the Trace, and when they arose and placed themselves in a fighting attitude and fired on him. When the firing commenced Col. Smith., and the balance of the men with him, wheeled and ran. He, and his company kept their ground waiting for them to come up, until the Indians, or some of them, were within 30 or 40 yards of affiant and the balls flying around him like hailstones from a thunderstorm. He began to think it was time to take care of himself, saying by this time that the whole of his company had taken flight and left him. He retreated a short distance and was closely pursued by the enemy, and wheeled to see how close they were to him and saw one within 30 yards. He immediately raised his gun and taking aim at his breast, he fired, and the Indian fell back and uttered some course, loud noises. He then overtook some of his company and tried to rally them, but without effect. They continued their retreat and two of them were killed while they were running before him. He then began to mend his gait and soon overtook the foremost man and went by Col. Smith, but was unable to rally. “
