Capt. John Brady was ambushed and killed by Indians near this spot while bringing supplies to beleaguered Fort Brady. He was an officer in the Pontiac and French and Indian Wars, became Major of Associations in 1775, served as a captain under General George Washington at Brandywine in 1777, and was seriously wounded at the Battle of Germantown. He was the father of four sons, all of whom rendered distinguished service in defense of their country from Concord to New Orleans. Men of this type founded America’s greatness.
