Notes
Misc.
A History . . . Hamilton County . . . 1818 . . Civil War - Acc901 -Page 258 - a part of the John Rhoads Story:
"John and Louan, in the meantime, had called loudly for help, and Owen Williams and Jesse Baker were the first to respond, but they were halted by the slave-hunting party and officers, who were well supplied with arms. Joseph Baker next arrived, and the men ordered him to assist them in making the arrest, but this he refused to do and made for the door of the cabin which John opened for him. John and Louan had made a gallant fight, indeed, but they were largely outnumbered and began to despair, but Joseph Baker's [page 259] appearance gave them new courage and they were again ready for the fight. Owen Williams and Jesse Baker soon spread the news, and it was not long until people from Deming and Westfield heard of this attempted arrest and were upon the scene."
[I am not sure which Joseph Baker this story refers to]
