Source (Page 94)

"For their protection these early settlers erected two forts, one called Fort Milliken, situated on a beautiful mound on the farm of Mrs. Samuel Braden, the other was named Fort McFarland, and located on the farm of Peter Garrett.  There was a third fort or blockhouse on the farm now owned by Nehemiah Woodruff, Esq., where many bones, arrows, wares, and trinkets are unearthed by the farmer's plough.  [Snip]" [Washington County, Pennsylvania - map]
