    Notes:

    According to an account by William Gaines Looney : Michael Looney, his brother Jonathan Looney and Benjamin (about 35) went buffalo hunting northwest of Black Mountain in Harlan County, Kentucky. On their return, when near Cumberland Gap, they noticed some "whet rocks" where they had been exposed by the uprooting of a tree during a storm. It was late in the day and they did not stop, because they susupected the presence of Indians from the behavior of their horses, but pushed on some distance before camping. Next morning while backtracking for the whet rocks they were attacked. Ben was wounded and Johnathan captured. Sometime later while Ben was resting, perhaps mortally wounded, an Indian killed him, and Michael escaped with nothing but his flint-lock rifle and on charge which he needed to get food during the three day and night return trip on foot. (Johnathan escaped much later, after he was gradually permitted increased liberty of movement.)
