misc. | She may have been captured at Ruddles Fort in 1780
Your message posting regarding Catherine Harrow was sent to our list (Ruddlesfort). The Ruddlesfort group are descendants of the people who were captured by the British and Indians at Ruddell’s and Martin’s Station in 1780. Among those were the Eddleman family, which your Catherine may have been a member. This is what we know:
David and Catherine Eddleman came to Kentucky about 1778 and lived at Logan’s Station.
David served at Logan’s Station in Capt. Richard May’s company as a private in 1778-1779.
About April 1779 he was transferred to Capt. Isaac Ruddell’s company and served until Oct of 1779.
David died during the winter of 1779/80 as his wife Catherine received a settlement certificate for 400 acres of land in present day Bourbon Co., KY.
Ruddell’s Station was attacked by British and Indians on June 24, 1780 and all the people were captured. It’s presumed that the Eddleman’s were still residing at the fort.
The history of Decatur Indiana mentions Daniel Eddleman and his capture by the Indians, but does not specifically say he was at Ruddells.
In a July 1783 issue of the Pennsylvania Gazette, there was a list of people who were still captives of the Indians. Listed were “Caty Etelmaw, Daniel Etelmaw” and “David Etelmaw.” It has been presumed that this was Catherine Eddleman (the mother), Daniel and John. However it could be your Catherine and her two brothers. We’re not sure David is the same as John or not. A bio of Daniel Eddleman mentions that his brother James may have been killed by the Indians. The names in the list were usually listed in order of birth. This would coincide with the birth of your Catherine (abt. 1765), Daniel (abt 1770 ) and John/David (abt. 1775).
Catherine, the mother, later married John Burger about 1785, a fellow captive from Ruddell’s. They lived in Bourbon Co., KY for a while and later settled in Indiana. Catherine received her 400 acres in Kentucky, which was later transferred to John Burger her husband.
Bio of Daniel Eddleman:
( History of Decatur Co., Indiana) “Daniel Eddleman, with his mother and brother, was sheltered in a strong cabin… and while there they were attacked by Indians and Daniel was taken by Indians to near Lafayette, where he was kept until 12 years old, when he was returned to Kentucky and claimed by his mother. It is thought Daniel's brother James was killed or burned to death by the Indians. Daniel died in Jackson County, Indiana, aged 98. He was a hunter, trapper, and loved hunting better than farming. He learned the Indian method of counting on fingers: ‘nequita, nesway, netheny, narroway, nollony, cutatha, nesothy, sathaky, sockaty, and metathy’ and then up to 100 or more by doubling the hands, etc. Eddelmans came to Decatur County in early twenties and settled in Jackson Township. Their log cabin was replaced...”
