Notes for Sarah (Sally) Mary Green
In 1783 a Cheat region settler, John Green, fell under the blade of the tomahawk. His wife, baby, and two girls were made captive. The baby was murdered outright; the wife escaped four years later; the girls were ramsomed after nine years of captivity. Sarah, a third daughter, was wounded but escaped and later married Joseph Friend of the Youghiogheny, a son of "Old John." Source - Garrett County, A History of Maryland's Tableland, by Stephen Schlosnagle. (see pg. 49.) The incident is covered in more detail in "Indian Blood" by Evelyn Guard Olsen (Chapter IX - The Last Indian Raid).

In 1788, six Minqoes, led by a Shawnee came and killed John Green and his infant son, and took John's wife and two of their daughters captives in the Ohio country. John's daughter, Sarah, who later married Joseph Friend, escaped capture but was wounded by an Indian's bullet. Sarah was 11 years old at the time. She got to Butler's Fort, where she was rescued. Sarah's mother lived in captivity withe the Indians for four yearsbefore escaping (in 1792 ?). Sarah's sisters married Indian traders. One of her sisters married a Sauerhauer. The other, Elizabeth, married John King. John King, "not wihing to leave the natives" sold Elizabeth to Andrew Johnson. Sarah's mother later married a man named Moore. She had two daughters by him, Hannah and Cissia, and a son, Edmission (Evidently a family name, Edmundson; Sarah named one of her children William Edmundson).
