About the last Indian raid that was made in this valley was about the year 1785. This was when Captain Phillips, with seven or eight of his scouts had come across the Tussey Mountain from the Cove at a point near where the State Road leading from Fredericksburg, intersects with the Woodcock Valley Road..... etc.

The Shoup's had several children by this time (1785); the first a girl, and they named her Sarah; then two boys, Henry and John.

Shoup Sarah; then Henry; John;
Henry Putt +Sarah Shoup Henry Putt II, Michael, Abel, Jacob, Jonathon, Abraham and William~(William Putt was the writer's Grandfather)Mary + Samuel Blake

In Holland, Mr. Shoup's family had neighbors by the name of Putt, who also had a son named Henry. Young Henry had often heard his parents talk of the Shoup's who had gone to America, so he planned that when he grew up and had saved enough money to make the trip, that he would go to America also. When he was in his early twenties, he left for the new country, found his way to the Juniata Valley and the home of Mr. Shoup, and went to work on his farm.

Henry Putt became the father of seven boys, whose names were: Henry Putt II, Michael, Abel, Jacob, Jonathon, Abraham and William. (William Putt was the writer's Grandfather.)

Mary Putt Blake is William Putt's daughter.

Obituary of Mary Ann Putt Blake
obit, children: Frank; Charles Blake, Margaret Ann Donaldson all of Saxton. Miles Blake of Lakemount.

[There was Frank, Oliver, (myself -- Miles), Simon, Charles, Samuel, Savilla, Margaret and Elizabeth. Of the six boys only two had children. The elder one, Frank, had two girls, no boys; and myself, Miles, five girls and one boy, Ralph, who is married to Arvilla Frederick. My son has no children, so you see, of the William Blake that migrated from England, Ralph Blake is the last of his descendants in this line.]
