30 June 1776 the Cherokees and Tories arried at the Hampton house. Elizabeth was visiting her parents while her husband was away recruiting militia. Of her brothers, only Preston was there. He had stopped to talk with his father before going into the Cherokee Nation with his wagonload of goods. Elizabeth left her infant son in the care of her mother and went to visit the Sadler family on the next plantation.
Probably the most accurate versions of the famous Hampton massacre is the eyewitness account of John Mynum, as related by J.B.O. Landrum in Colonial and Revolutionary History of Upper South Carolina.
"When the Indians appeared at the Hampton house, Preston saw a friendly chief in the part and went outside to greet him. His father followed him into the yard. Old Mr. Hampton gave the Chief a cordial welcome and handclasp, but almost immediately Preston was shot down by a Tory, and the hand Anthony had held sent a tomahawk through his skull. Mrs. Hampton appeared and was killed in like manner. The Indians entered the house, drank some brandy, and pillaged the family wardrobes.
Hearing the war whoops, Elizabeth Harrison and Mrs. Sadler crept across the canebrake to investigate, Coming in sight of the house, they saw the mutilated bodies of Mr. and Mrs. Hampton and Preston in the yard. As the terrifed women watched, a Cherokee brave carried Elizabeth's infant into the yard and holding him by the feet, dashed his brains out against a tree. Mrs. Sadler clasped her hand over Elizabeth's mouth to stifle her scream and pulled her back through the canebrake to a place where their horses were tethered. Mounting bareback, they galloped to Wood's Fort for help.
A search party was sent out, but by the time they reached the Hampton place the Indians had burned the house and departed, taking Preston's wagons and the Hamptons' nine year old grandson, John Bynum, with them. The marauders had disappeared over the mountains into Cherokee country. It is said that the raiding party stopped at Preston's home som distance away and murdered his two children. His wife fled through the swamp and was found several days later wandering through the woods, her clothing torn to rags. She was so frightened that her mind never fully recovered from the ordeal".
Another band of Cherokees galloped north and before their raids were over had murdered members of the Hannon family in the vicinity of Earle's Fort.
The Hite, Hampton, and Hannon massacres meant war with the Indians. Col. Andrew Williamson, who headed the 96th Whig militia, and Anthony's old friend, Col Griffith Rutherford of NC, led their troops over the mountains into the Cherokee Nation. Joining Williamson were all five of the Hampton sons, John, Edward, Henry, Wade, and Richard. In a series of bloody conflicts, they defeated the Indians and burned all their villages and crops in the valleys. The Cherokees sued for peace and in the Treaty of 1777 returned all captives, including John Bynum. They also ceded to SC the territory of present Greenville, Pickens, and Oconee counties.
