Subject: Long Canes massacre, 1760 From: Slsamz Date: November 24, 1999 In the booklet " The Scotch-Irish and their First Settlements on the Tyger River" written in1861 the author says that "The grandfather of Mr. Samuel Clark, now of Beach Island, and several members of his family, were killed in the attack. The wife and four children escaped." This Indian attack occurred in February 1760 at Long Canes when settlers were being moved to Augusta for protection. Many of you know that Patrick Calhoun, father of John Calhoun was helping move these people and his Mother was killed. Does anyone know about this Clark family? I am researching Clarks in SC about this time. Does anyone know where I might find a list of those killed in the massacre?
