An Indian attempted to scalp the boy and at the same time capture TabithaClay. She was trying to defend the body of her dead brother and prevent  the Indiana from scalping her brother. In this struggle, Tabitha was cut  to pieces by the Indian with a butcher knife. The younger girls made it  to the house safely.  About this time, a man named Liggon Blankenship called at the Clay cabin.  Mrs. Clay begged Blankenship to shoot the savage and save the life of her  daughter Tabitha. But Blankenship ran away from the scene and reported to  settlers on New River that the Clay family had been murdered by the  Indians.  The Indians got the scalps of Bartley and Tabitha Clay and captured  Ezekiel Clay. Mrs. Clay took the bodies of Bartley and Tabitha to the  house and laid them down on the bed. She took her small children and went  to the home of a neighbor James Bailey, about six miles away[22916872.ged]
