Bond--Attachment Bond

...are held and firmly bound to William Roark...

$500.

Elihu Horton mentioned in the article below:

“Earthenware at the said Foulk’s Pothouse in Morgantown” was his method of paying for land."

"Whatever Foulk’s financial status, it could not have been helped by his frequent legal difficulties.  Charges against him include...wife beating, suing to avoid paying $50 owed for a bet on a horse race, suing to restrain his father-in-law, Elihu Horton, from providing shelter for Horton’s battered daughter, perjury, and two instances of fathering a baseborn child. He was even sued by his father for debts. Hough reports that in order to make lead glaze, Foulk stripped the lead liner from tea chests and oxidized the lead in an open iron pan. It is tempting to suggest that lead poisoning from this practice contributed to his egregious behavior."

Rendezvous At Carnahan's Blockhouse Before Loughery's Defeat

Loughery's defeat....:

Source

"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]
