"Daniel Asbury, at the age of 15, was scalped by the Indians but survived and his wound healed. He was adopted by the Chief and lived with the Indians for about 7 years. He left the tribe after having converted many of them to the Methodist religion. Throughout his life, Daniel always wore a wig or cloth over his head to cover up his baldness caused by the scalping.

He came to this area from Virginia. His Mother was a Jennings before marriage. He did leave a Will, probated in July, 1825. He mentions his three daughters Martha Abernethy, Susanna L. Wilkinson, and Letty Cornelius...There is much information on this family at the Lincoln County Library and Catawba County Library in Newton."
