Born about 1729 and died 1777 in Pendleton County Virginia.\u00a0 Some say her maiden name was Miller but there is no source documentation.\u00a0 Her name is given as A. Margreta on her daughters baptism record.\u00a0 There is a dna project that would like to find the pure maternal to complete and mtDna test to confirm her line.\u00a0 \u00a0If this is you, go to FTDNA for more information.<\/p>\n
Proper standardization of German names in this time frame is to Anglicize the middle name and use it as the given name.\u00a0 The middle name was the \u201ccall\u201d name used by family.\u00a0 The first name in German was a religious name in honor of a saint.\u00a0 Most men were named in honor of St. John (with Johann or Johan for the first name) and most women were named Anna (for St. Anne) although Mary and Eva are sometimes found as religious names.<\/p>\n
So her birth name was likely Anna Margreta and she was later referred to as Margaret.\u00a0 She married Johann Michael Mallow<\/a> about 1745 probably Rockingham Virginia.\u00a0 After being a captive of the Shawnee in Ohio, she did return to Pendleton, Virginia where she died 1777.\u00a0 See move below on the captives from Fort Seybert.<\/p>\n In 1756, George Washington-who, at age 24, was the highest-ranking officer in the Virginia militia-had ordered the construction of Upper Tract, Seybert, and other forts to protect settlers against this type of Indian attack.<\/p>\n On April 27, 1758, Delaware and Shawnee Indian warriors attacked Fort Upper Tract in present Pendleton County. The English name of the Indians\u2019 war chief was Killbuck. During the French and Indian War, he led a number of bloody raids against frontier settlements in what is now eastern West Virginia. Eventually, most of the captives returned to Pendleton County. Two or more of the smaller children remained with the Indians in Ohio, and at least three others died in the Indian villages.<\/p>\n Best evidence is that Margaret was the mother of all of Johann Michael Mallow\u2019s children through the birth of their son Henry who was born while Margaret was in captivity.\u00a0 Some concluded that Henry was potentially Native American but dna evidence of the descendants have proven that incorrect.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Born about 1729 and died 1777 in Pendleton County Virginia.\u00a0 Some say her maiden name was Miller but there is no source documentation.\u00a0 Her name is given as A.

\nThe day after his assault on Upper Tract, Killbuck attacked Fort Seybert, nine miles to the east. His warriors intimidated Fort Seybert\u2019s garrison into surrendering-after which, they executed 17 adults and captured 24 women and children, who were forced to return with the Indians to their villages in the Ohio country.<\/p>\n
