I'm a descendant of Abraham Jones little brother, Moses, who was taken prisoner by the Chickasaws in the "Battle Creek massacre," or "Clover Bottom attack," or whatever you call it. He escaped 9 years later and wound up in Mercer Co., Ky. Mike McMurray"

2 miles S.E., along Battle Creek in Jan. 1780, settlers fleeing from Renfro's Station on Red River about 17 miles away, were caught by Indians and massacred. The sole survivor was a widow named Jones who made her way 4 days later into a Settlements station.
