    My Amish ancestor, Jacob Hochstetler Sr., was captured along with two of his sons in Pennsylvania by the Delaware Indians during the French And Indian War. Jacob later escaped and had a similar dream that helped him in his escape. The entire story can be found in the book “Descendants of Jacob Hochstetler” by Harvey Hostetler.

    Jenny Wiley is a cousin from my dads side of the family. My ancestors, Abuid fairchild, John Blair and Noble Blair were the first white men to settle the Johnson County area in what is now Paintsville and Staffordsville. Their Surnames are seen everywhere in the area. The Blairs are the same Blairs that Founded Princeton University and descend from the first families of Virginia at Jamestown. My surname Blair is one of the oldest in America. Jenny Wiley was kidnapped in a very very remote area, and the geography of the area had to make the search nearly impossible. I love that area, my old familys home. They married Rameys, and from those marriages, emerged loretta lynn, chris stapleton, Ricky Scaggs, and more. Music has been in my family since the Old World. Love this video!

    The "messenger/rescue" type dream I've heard before. In the early 1800s a British ship got beached and wrecked on the northern west coast of Africa. The worst area to be stranded as the Sahara Desert runs right into the Atlantic. Plus the storm blew them too far off the shipping lane to be seen. I forget some details but the survivor got captured by Arab nomads who made him a slave and were physically abusive. He had to drink his own urine etc etc.
    He was losing hope when he started having a repeated dream. A man in a British type uniform, standing by a desk in an office kept encouraging him to endure and he would meet the slavers and rescue him. The slave holders decided to dump the sailor before he died on them, so they headed to a Mediterranean coast town. There just happened to be a British outpost in that town. To keep this short, a British officer found the sailor at the slave market. When the sailor saw him he knew this was the exact person who'd been in his dreams. The sailor was bought from his captors and he later returned to Britain.

      Dreams from Heaven do happen though - I dreamt one night I was walking in a very large expanse with an angel - I had no idea where I was or where I was going but saw a man appear in the distance - I wondered who he was & the angel communicated with me 'Your father's friend' (my Dad was deceased) Finally I recognised him as a neighbour of my parents called Stan. Then I woke up, just after 3am - I didn't know what to think or do so finally said a short prayer for Stan & fell asleep. I was staying at my Mum's & related the dream to her over breakfast but of course she thought I was cuckoo. About an hour later the phone rang, my Mum answered & then looked straight at me - I whispered 'Stan?' & she nodded. It transpired that according to this other neighbour, Stan had taken ill during the night & fallen & hit his head. - So, things do happen that we can't explain. - I also had a pre-cognitive dream of my Dad's death (from a heart attack) & it occurred exactly as I had dreamt it about 10yrs prior.

    It is hard to believe one of my far back relatives was captured by Indians, inured grievously, and was scalped and killed at
    " Betsy's run" In west Virginia.; because she was bleeding out despite being tended by her captors. (the creek so named after her Elizabeth Dragoo) Her son lived with the Indians and married a squaw and died with them in Ohio at age 27. His 4 children were sent to live with white men, named Hayes, in a treaty with the Indians, and were taken back to the Appalachia in Kentucky.

    • @Dawn-fz5cu
      @Dawn-fz5cu Рік тому +2

      He doesn't say that this was a fact just that there were other accounts that an Indian girl may have been born to her after her escape. He also points out that there were accounts of her being taken to another location and sold as a wife but that these have very little uniformity and appeared to be conjecture. From this I gather that there is no factual evidence of her giving birth shortly after her escape or that she was defiled.

    Correct me if I'm wrong but the Crown was kicked out of America because it wanted to tax the settlers, perhaps for other reaons too, but primarily to offset the increasing burden on the Crown of protecting the frontiers. After listening to this, I dont think that was such a unreasonable demand that the Crown was making.

    Does this narrative ever acknowledge the vast number of eastern European/western Asian presence in Kentucky by the mid 1700s? The more I learn about where and when certain groups established strongholds, like the Hessians, the more I question what I grew up thinking about our history and legends like this take on a propaganda glow. Kentucky had a lot of Spanish settlements, Celtic, Prussian and Gaelic tribes - some of which have been lost to American history almost entirely but still get mention in the fine print

      @@amberlynmarlowe8704 , Good point for sure, and a fair one. I just know how the vindictiveness of American Indians didn't always stop with humans. They would often take out their anger on innocent animals as well, up to, and including "scalping" cats and dogs if they felt the need! So, that's what I have in mind when I feel so sorry for her poor dog. They may well have burned it alive at the stake, and I'm not joking when I say that!

      Perspective from someone who loves her dogs and found herself trying not to drown in a sinking ship. Unable to provide care and stability for anyone, in uncertain hostile times. My dad held 4 of my Chihuahuas, only 2 survived 😢, an old lady looking for a best friend took another one and he's doing fine, but I'm not and I'm afraid to call to check on her for in case i hear bad news. My oldest grandma of them all stayed with my mom and also died without me, and the 2 survivors are completely different in personality now. Animated by something different, with grips on me with leverage and health issues that could floor me from the inside when a vulnerability is found. Everyone is a liability for bondage with heart strings no more effin dogs.

    It is apparent that you are of European descent, because in your 'story telling' you never once state that these poor white settlers were/had encroached upon lands that were clearly "Indian Land." They were not settlers they were trespassers. The whites were never victims of Indians, the Indians were the victims of white incursion.
    Your bias is typical of most "White History."
