ASHCRAFT PIONEERS SOURCE: Newspaper called MID LAND Published at Frazeysburg, Ohio February 8, 1894 $1.00 a Year DANIEL ASHCRAFT, the grandfather of the pioneer DANEIL ASHCRAFT, who settled in what is now Pike Township, Coshocton County, four miles north of Frazeysburg, on the farm now owned by LOUIS CHANEY, was born in the North or ENGLAND in 1700. He came to Virginia in 1728 and soon after arrival married a Miss LEWIS, a cousin of Colonel and General Lewis. There were born to this union five children, two boys DANIEL and ICHABOD ASHCRAFT, and three girls, RACHEL, ELIZABETH, and MARGARET ASHCRAFT. The girls married in Virginia and remained there. Nothing definite is known of them or their posterity. DANIEL and ICHABOD ASHCRAFT were both engaged in the Battle of Point Pleasant. This battle was fought October 10, 1744 on the narrow point of land between the Ohio and the great Kanawha River in what is now West Virginia. Here General Lewis ably assisted by his brother, Colonel CHARLES LEWIS, with 1,100 Virginia troops, met and defeated the celebrated Indians under the leadership of CHIEF CORNSTALK, assisted by LOGAN RED EAGLE, retiring at night. Lewis' loss was three officers, his brother, the Colonel being one of the number. Sixty men killed and ninety-five wounded. The Indians lost about the same number. Just before sunset, DANIEL ASHCRAFT was shot dead by an Indian sharpshooter. ICHABOD ASHCRAFT went with the Army. After the battle the Army crossed the Ohio River and searched out into the Indian Country. CHIEF CORNSTALK was murdered by the Whites at Point Pleasant November 10, 1777, three years and one month after the Battle of Point Pleasant.
