Notes:
The Cresaps were institutions unto themselves on the Maryland frontier.
A Mr. Cresap ran a trading post in what is now Oldtown, Alleghey Co.,
Maryland.
He was a hunter, trapper, mountain man.
He launched a small border war with Pennsylvania, over what he considered to
be border incursions. He was a friend to the local Indians, and traded with
the Tuscaroras, when they were passing through on their migration from the
Carolinas to New York. They went out of their way to visit the Cresap trading
post.
The Tuscaroras go fed up with all the whites moving into the Carolinas, and
decided to make a major move of their entire people to link up with the Five
Nations of the Iroquois Federation - to make is six.
Despite all the grief they encountered in the interim, it saved them from
deportation under Andrew Jackson to the Indian Territy (now Oklahoma), re the
Trail of Tears, with the other Southern U.S. tribes.
A Cresap led the first contingent of Maryland riflemen, with their fringed
doeskin smocks and long rifes, on the very long hike from Western Maryland to
New England to join the Continental Army.
They became the "core" of famous "Maryland Line" of the revolution.
