Subject: [ROOTS-L] 'Dirty Girty'

Darn! Here I thought the Girtys were loyalists trying to preserve the
English government in the new world. The British thought so. Paid them with
land in Canada when the Revolutionary War was over.
I will confess to mixed feelings about Jim Girty, as he and his Indians
attacked a flatboat of my family on the Ohio and later bought a daughter of
the family for a wife. She wasn't particularly submissive as she took the
flat of a sword to him once.
But then again, a direct ancestor married an Indian girl about the same time
and spent the
war on the frontier, protecting settlers from the Indians. Wonder what his
wife thought?
