Pioneer Survivor of Indian Attack: The Story of Barbara Culp McKinney

My 5th great grandmother is Barbara Culp McKinney.   Her story is a remarkable example of pioneer grit, bravery and survival.   As I explored my genealogy, I came across her story and was reminded of the strength we can gain from our ancestor's experiences.   Barbara survived a brutal Indian attack that occurred in Chester, South Carolina in 1761.   She was brutally scalped and left for dead by a band of Cherokee Indians.
 This is the story of her courageous survival.
