Draper's Meadows
DRAPER'S MEADOWS
DRAPER'S MEADOWS, the first settlement west of the great Allegheny divide, on the present site of Blacks-burg, Virginia, was founded in 1748 in the New River section by John Draper, Thomas Ingles, and other Scottish and Irish immigrants from Pennsylvania. On 8 July 1755, the settlement was destroyed by a party of Shawnee Indians. Mrs. William Ingles was carried into captivity on the lower Ohio River but made her escape and returned more than 700 miles on foot.
