Rendezvous At Carnahan's Blockhouse Before Loughery's Defeat

Loughery's defeat....:

"It had been given out that this expedition [spearheaded by George Rogers Clark] was against the Indians of the North-west, and the designs on Detroit were kept in the background, but nevertheless Brant, the Indian Chief, was well informed as to its purpose. It was...decided to make the Falls of the Ohio his base of operation."

"Col. Archibald Laughery or Loughery was the County Lieutenant of Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, and upon Clark's requisition he raised...a party of one hundred and seven mounted volunteers. This company rendezvoused at Carnahan's Blockhouse, eleven miles west of Hannastown on August 2, 1781, and marched by way of Pittsburg to Fort Henry (Wheeling), where they arrived on the 8th about twelve hours after Col. Clark with all the men, boats, and stores he could gather had departed leaving orders for Col. Loughery to follow and overtake him at the mouth of Little Kanawha Several days were consumed by Col Loughery in getting started."

"This force failing to join Clark, who still continued to precede them, was decoyed into an ambush and cut off to a man--all being either killed or taken prisoners. Their terrible fate is one of the most distressing episodes in the history of Western Pennsylvania." [Source]
