Narrative

Little is known about the English born Daniel Stephen Radcliffe. The Stalnaker Family Bible record claims he made his way up the "James River" or South Branch of the Potomac to the frontier area of Hampshire County, Virginia. There he raised a large family of many sons who became scouts, hunters, trappers and farmers. Four sons served together in the Revolutionary War-Stephen, William, Benjamin and Edward. As the sons matured they moved into western Virginia, Kentuckventually Ohio and Illinois. Daniel died in 1784, killed by Indians while visiting Harrison County, in what is now West Virginia, where two sons resided. Harrison court records show a man named James Arnold was charged initially with Daniel's murder and with haken Henry Flesher's horses. Arnold was acquitted months after the incident.
