Captain Thomas Ingles (aka Ingalls, English or Inglish) of the MONTGOMERY Co. Virginia MILITIA during the American Revolution was held captive by Indians 13 years when he was a child - See story under his Mother, Mary Draper Ingles. In an event reminiscent of his own capture by Indians as a child, Thoms Ingles' own family was attacked by Shawnee Indians in 1782. In the ensuing rescue two of his children were killed and wife, Eleanor, tomahawked so severely that a surgeon removed 13 pieces of skull from her head. Shortly after this occurrence Thomas Ingles, his wife, and infant daughter (Rhoda), moved to Tennessee and settled in succession on the Watauga River at Mossy Creek, and at Fort Knox, now Knoxville. There his daughter, Rhoda, who escaped death, grew up and married Patrick Campbell. Subsequent to the marriage of his daughter in 1800, Thomas Ingles moved to Mississippi with some of his other children where he lived until he died sometime after 1809.
