Barb Johnson gives birth place as nr. Bethlehem, PA (Lower Saucon Twsp) and date between 1768 and 1770, and eastern Indiana web site said New York.1 Listed as being one of early settlers at Fort Coleraine in Nelson's History of Hamilton Co. (1894), along with brothers David and John, and brother-in-law Henry Whitinger. He was there by April 1790.4 5 William was at fort during the Indian attack. About 500 Indians attacked the station, which was defended by Lieutenant Kingsbury, thirteen regulars and about eight to ten armed residents. The Indians attacked on the 10th, tortured a prisoner within sight of the fort that night, then attacked the next day until they heard that reinforcements were coming, when they gave up the attack. William was a scout for General St. Clair during the battle with the Indians on the Wabash in Nov. 1791 and elsewhere. Known as "a red-headed Indian Scout" in Mary Coates Martin's "Colonial Pioneers, Martin and Bell Families and their Kin." Tradition that he was of Scoth-Irish descent. Also tradition that the character of Nathaniel Bumppo in "Leather Stocking Tales" was based on William.8 William had moved into Kentucky shortly after the Revolution (when it was still part of VA).9 4 William was at Dunlap's Station from about 1790 to 1792, at which time he moved, along with the other settlers, to North Bend and then on to Daraugh's Station He later moved to a property where he set up a farm that he eventually passed on to Abraham.4 10 William was one of the first settlers at Daraugh's Station, which he moved to after leaving Dunlap's Station in the spring of 1792.11 3 Father: Peter Crum b: ABT 1740 in Somerset Co., New Jersey Mother: Mary Cronis b: ?unknown Marriage 1 Roseanna Whitinger b: ABT 1784 in Pennsylvania

John moved with his family from Pennsylvania to Dunlap's Station, Hamilton Co., Ohio, in 1790. This was located in present-day Coleraine Twsp, just north of Cincinnati on the Great Miami River. John probably was captured and adopted by Indians. The story, however, has inconsistencies. There are two main sources: Samuel Hahn's account, recorded in Cist and John Felton's account. The accounts, based on memory, seem to have confused or impossible details. It is even possible it was another John Crum, perhaps a nephew? Samuel Hahn's account and the History of Hamilton County say the capture of John Crum took place at Dunlap's Station (which would make it ca. 1790-91). On the other hand, Wiseman's account of the attack on Dunlap's Station says only that David Gibson was captured, and the Felton account says the John Crum capture took place at Daraugh's Station (making it about 1792), so it is uncertain where this took place.

...In the list of formal complaints against Great Britain, the American colonists (chiefly Thomas Jefferson) accused King George of using the Indians to war against the colonists. In the 29th paragraph of the Declaration of Independence, we read this historical statement:
He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavored to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian savages, whose known rule of warfare, is undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.
Jefferson saw Indians as genocide mongers, working for England? Whatever the cause, Indian genocide against whites would certainly be the opposite view of all modern white, anti-American liberals regarding American history..."
