Thank you for the in depth narrative about this little known battle. According to family history, my maternal sixth grandfather William McClung (Captain Billy) ( lost his son who was a private in the Virginia Militia during this battle.
Interesting video. My 4th great grandfather's pension application of 1832 states that he was a volunteer from Fincastle County in a regiment of VA militia commanded by Col. Andrew Lewis, and he marched to the mouth of New River under Capt. Polling's command in an expedition against the Indians in 1774. It also states he was in the battle at Point Pleasant on October 10, 1775. (sic)
