Biography

Margaret Durham was born in *1756 and was a member of one of the families that settled close to Fort Freeland. In the fall of 1778, while traveling toward Fort Augusta for protection during the First Great Runaway, Mrs. Durham was attacked just a short distance below the mouth of the Warrior Run Creek by Indians. They shot and killed her infant child in her arms. She fell from her horse, and the Indians proceeded to tomahawk and scalp her. When the men came to bury the dead, she raised herself up and asked for a drink of water. Elias Williams ran and brought her a hat fill of water and gave her a drink of water. They transformed her by canoe where Dr. Plunkett dressed her head. She survived the wounds and lived to the age of 73. She was laid to rest in the Warrior Run Cemetery in 1829.

Margaret was the daughter of John McClintock and Mary Weir.
