An interesting article on the Battle of Lochry's Creek which took place August 24, 1781. As the article mentions, it was one of the few Revolutionary War battles to take place in Indiana, but involved many of the Ohio Shawnee and Wyandot under the leadership of Joseph Brandt and George Girty, brother of renegade Simon Girty. www.commonpatriot.com/lochrycreek.html

There ia a book published by the Dearborn Ind. Historical Society, The Best Men of Westmoreland by Chris McHenry. This book covers the trip down the Ohio to rendezvous with George Rogers Clark and the subsequent massacre. The History of the Girtys covers this in detail. hope these little tidbits help.
