Although no attack was ever made on the fort by the Indians, yet they often appeared on the hill in its rear, which commanded a full view of its interior. From this elevation they often watched the movements of the inhabitants as they went out to work in their gar dens and adjoining fields, and several were killed within gun shot of the garrison. Of these tragical events no one possesses more inter est than that ia which the Hon. R. J. Meigs, late governor of Ohio, was engaged - it is as follows.

Samuel Prescott Hildreth was an American physician, naturalist, and historian. He was the author of numerous scientific and historical works which provided insight into the early settlement of Marietta, Ohio and the Northwest Territory and the lives of early pioneers.
Background
Samuel Prescott Hildreth was born on September 30, 1783 in Methuen, Massachusetts, United States. He was the son of a physician, Doctor Samuel Hildreth, and of Abigail (Bodwell) Hildreth, and was sixth in descent from Richard Hildreth, an emigrant from England who was admitted as a freeman of the colony of Massachusetts Bay in 1643.
Education
After attending Phillips Andover and Franklin academies Hildreth studied medicine, first in his father's office and later for two years with Dr. Thomas Kittredge of Andover.
He attended one series of lectures in Harvard College, and received his diploma from the Medical Society of Massachusetts in 1805.
He recieved a Honorary Master of Arts degree from Ohio University (1825) and an Honorary Doctor of Laws degree from Marietta College (1859).
Career
Beginning the practice of medicine in Hampstead, New Hampshire, Hildreth lived in the family of John True, whose brother, Doctor Jabez True, was practicing in the Ohio Company's settlement at Marietta, Ohio. Hearing that there was a good opening at that place, Hildreth set out on horseback early in September 1806, and arrived in Marietta on October 4.
A few months later he began practice at Belpre, a New England settlement some twelve miles down the Ohio; but returned in 1808 to Marietta, where he remained in active practice until 1861, three years before his death. He was a successful physician, treating his patients in the methods of the time by bleeding, purging, and sweating, but he recorded also the very modern discoveries of the value of yeast and charcoal in malignant fevers and the curative effect of malaria on epilepsy.
He served in the state legislature in 1810-1811, and secured the enactment of a law regulating the practice of medicine and providing for medical societies. He contributed medical papers descriptive of epidemics--including the great fever epidemic of 1822-1823--their sequelae, and special cases to the Medical Repository, New York, 1808 and 1822; to the Western Medical and Physical Journal, Cincinnati, December 1827; and to the Philadelphia Journal of the Medical and Physical Sciences, February 1824. In 1839 he was president of the third medical convention of Ohio.
His historical works include: "A Brief History of the Floods of the Ohio River from the Year 1772 to the Year 1832" (1838); Address of S. P. Hildreth, President of the Third Medical Convention of Ohio (1839); Pioneer History (1848); "Biographical Sketches of the Early Physicians of Marietta, Ohio"; and other works.
Hildreth died in Marietta, Ohio on July 24, 1863 and was buried at Mound Cemetery in Marietta, along with his father and with many Revolutionary War soldiers and founding pioneer settlers of Marietta and the Northwest Territory.
