[LWRigsbyHistGaFamilies.FTW]
"While Field's company was encamped on the banks of the Little Meadow River, a branch of the Gauley, two of his men, Clay and Doward (or Cowherd) were sent to hunt deer for the company and were attacked by the Indians. Clay was killed, but Coward made his way back to camp, having first killed one of the Indians." This quote is taken from Rigsby's Historic Georgia Families; he follows it with the statement that "this was just before the battle of Point Pleasant, and I believe explains the lack of further information concerning William Clay."
