Letter from Pennsylvania Gazette of 12-08-1763 from Captain William Christian, dating 10-19-1763. "Being joined by Captain Hickenbotham, with 25 of the Amherst militia, we marched on Tuesday last to Winston's Meadows, where our scouts informed us, that they had discovered a party of Indians and about three miles off. Night coming on, prevented our meeting them; and next day, being rainy, made it difficult to follow their tracks. As they were on their return, Captain Hickenbotham marched to join captain Ingles down New River, etc." The letter does not state which Higgenbotham he is referring to. There were six brothers in Amherst Co in 1863." Src: Catherine Walker
