On July 17, 1789, Shawnees forded the Ohio River and attacked Chenoweth Station, near Middletown KY, home of Richard Chenoweth, one of Louisville’s first settlers. 3 Chenoweth children and 2 soldiers were killed, and the house was burned down. His wife, Peggy Chenoweth, was scalped but lived. The survivors fled to this 2-story springhouse (still standing). A force from Linn’s Station rescued them. It was led by Col. Richard Clough Anderson (likely my great…great uncle) but included William Clark, later of Lewis and Clark.
The Shawnee probably came from Tullytown (near Charlestown IN) and Muscatatuck (near North Vernon IN). They forded the Ohio River at Bull Creek where Armstrong Station was built, maybe to prevent more massacres. [my childhood home was built on Armstrong Station’s remains]

Richard Chenoweth was my 4th Great Grandfather. If you have anymore info on the Chenoweth Massacre, especially William Clark being part of the group who came to their aid…I would appreciate that. Thanks!
There are conflicting stories, so little is known for sure. Richard Clough Anderson came to their rescue. His plantation was across the road from Plainview. I was interested in because he may be a great…uncle, I am still researching him. Hos first wife was William Clark’s sister so I would expect him to be there but don’t know for sure. BTW 1790 Armstrong Station was built on Bull Creek in Indian to keep Shawnee from fording the Ohio and raiding like this again. The blockhouse was torn down and a farmhouse built. I lived there as a baby. House
still there.
