Brigetta, who had married Isaac Robinson in Bottetout came with her husband and family to Point Pleasant in the party with her brothers. They settled on Crooked creek not far from her brothers. It was not long before they were to suffer a fate that was unhappily too common to the settlers on the Ohio river at that time.
Late one afternoon in the spring of the year of their coming to Crooked creek, their son Isaac, a boy about 8 years old, was fishing in the river some distance from the house. He was disturbed by the sound of shots and yells from the direction of his home, and immediately set off running across the clearing. He arrived to witness a scene of horror. His father lay dead. Indians were in the act of killing his baby brother, two years old, and his mother and 4 year old brother were prisoners. Isaac was made a prisoner and the savages after rifling the house set fire to it and made off with their captives and loot.
It was some hours later than John Van Bibber discovered the ruined home. He went immediately in pursuit and came upon the 4 year old John lying dead in the road. The Indians had a good start and they traveled fast that night so that he never caught up with them and had to return.
It was five years before Brigetta was heard of when she was purchased by a fur trader and returned to Bottetourt county. She related a story of cruelty and hardship. After two days and nights of rapid flight from Crooked creek, the Indians stopped to rest. That night beneath the stars a baby boy was born to her. Next day the journey was resumed, and a few days later, the baby, becoming burdensome to her captors, was killed and body thrown at her feet.
Arriving at the Indian village, Brigetta was made to cook and sew and do the work of a servant. This might have been bearable had not the only solace to her grief been taken from her, when an Indian brave adopted her son.
In 1795, seven years after her capture and two years after her release, George Wayne signed a treaty with the Indians under which all captives were to be released. Brigetta Robinson set out at once to discover the whereabouts of her son. It was a long and tedious journey. In one of the small Indian villages where she was led in her search, she fell ill with smallpox that had broken out in the village, and it was months before she could proceed further.
When at last she found him, she met disappointment and grief in his refusal to accompany her home. After weeks of entreaty, he was finally persuaded to return with her to his uncle's at Point Pleasant, where after four years his constitution yielded to the restraints of civilization and he died.
