Mason County, Kentucky Deeds:

130 27 Oct 1806 Daniel FEEGANS (FEAGANS) and Violet his wife of Clermont
County, Ohio and Anderson Doniphan of Mason County. Description:
Adjoining lots of German Town, and bounded by Vawter, Tabbs, John Kenton;
to a survey of land laid off for Samuel Thompson and sold by him to Joel
Jackson to a survey made for Myers: then to John Adams Land.

In 1786 Daniel Feagan's family, John Arnold's family and John Kirkpatrick
migrated from Virginia down the Ohio River in flat boats, the only way to
travel in those times. They made their homes for eight or ten years on
the Kentucky side of the Ohio River, not far from Simon Kenton's Station,
near Limestone, now Maysville, and Augusta just below Maysville.

Daniel Feagan knew Kenton before they left Virginia and he warned them on
their way down the river to watch for Indian decoys, such as kettles on
poles for camping along the river. In those days the Indians were on the
warpath and brought sorrow to many pioneer homes.

Captain Feagan was given a Grant of 3000 acres of land for his service in
the Revolutionary War, 2,000 on the Kentucky side of the Ohio and 1000 on
the Ohio side in Brown County, then Clermont County. Hfe made his
clearing near where Georgetown now stands and died there in 1815.

Fielding Feagan and four sons came up from Brown County into Fayette
County in 1809, also John Arnold and John Kirkpatrick. These families were
the very early pioneers in Fayette County, and their descendants did not
stop going West until they reached the Pacific Coast.

The Indian tragedy in Kentucky was near Augusta bout the year 1800.
Fielding Feagan and his brother-in-law Absolem Craig, Josiah Wood a
brother-in-law to Absolem Craig and Cornelius Washburn went on a hunting
trip about 15 miles from the settlement. They made their camp near a
spring, and one day while they were out hunting, the Indians came to their
camp and lay in ambush until they returned. Craig and Feagan started the
fire, then Fielding went to the spring for water when he heard gunfire,
and knew what was up and started for the settlement, with two Indians
after him. He outran them and reached the settlement where they made up a
company and started for the camp. When they arrived, they found Craig had
been scalped and his body thrown across the fire and badly burned. The
Indians had taken their horses, guns and all their equipment. Absolem
Craig had a fine shout pouch, and the powder horn was finished in silver.

A few years after the tragedy, two Indians came to Fielding Feagan's home
over on the Ohio side of the River, and one of them had the shot pouch of
Absolem Craig. Feagan followed them and killed one and the other fled. He
buried the Indian on the West bank of White Oak Creek about one mile below
Georgetown, then threw the rifle of the Indian into the deep water. He
kept all secret until 1832 when the river washed the skeleton up.

The same story is told in the Brown County and Clermont County
histories.

Captain Feagan and his sons were drilled by Simon Kenton in all the
traits of war. At another encounter of Fielding Feagan with and Indian
they fought with dirk knives and Fielding had a scar from his ear to his
chin, which he carried to his grave. Fielding Feagan migrated to Richmond,
Iowa and is buried in the Richmond Cemetery, Washington County, Iowa.
