August 1762 James Walker who lived on the farm where John D Walker now resides, near Fannettsburg was on his way home from the Fort at Loudon, and when near Richmond, on the old Braddock Road, was fired at by a party of Indians. His horse was killed under him, and in falling the horse fell on him in such a way that before he could extricate himself the Indians captured him. They took the saddle off the horse, and fastening it on his back compelled him to carry it, and started over the Tucarora Mountain westward. The first night they stopped near Fort Littleton, and to make their prisoner secure, they tied his hands and an Indian slept on each side of him. James had a knife secreted in his boot, which fortunately his Indians had failed to discover, James cut the rope. James raised to his feet and plunged his knife into the throat , being awakened to the scuffle the Indians fled. James became bewildered and sometimes traveled in a wrong direction. Many days later James recovered and made it back to Path Valley.
