Biography

Note

Killed by Susquehanna Indians (called Conestogas in PA). From wikipedia: In 1675, the Susquehannocks were invited by colonists to Maryland, where they relocated because of pressure from the Iroquois. They became embroiled in Bacon's Rebellion the following year. After some Doeg Indians killed some Virginians, Virginians crossed into Maryland and killed some Susquehannocks. Virginia militia in alliance with Maryland militia surrounded the Susquehannock village on the Potomac. The Susquehannock held out for six weeks.

From "Thomas-Fuhrer" at ancestry.com: The Susquerhannock Indian War lasted from 1675 to 1676 on the borders of Virginia and Maryland. The Marylanders were led by Major Thomas Truman and the Virginians by Col. John Washington, great grandfather of George. The main event of the war was the siege of Susquehannock Fort from 25 or 26 Sep 1675 until about 4 Nov 1675. This fort was located where the Piscataway Creek meets the Potomac, directly across the Potomac from Mt Vernon. Between 50 and 100 colonists lost their lives in this battle. Among these were Giles Cole and Stephen Cawood (probably). ..
