Abraham Lincoln Killed by Indians
 Abraham Lincoln, a native of Pennsylvania, staked a claim on Long
Run Creek in 1780. Several years later, he moved onto the land with his wife and
family. In May 1786, he was killed by Indians as he and his three sons returned from
working the land. One of those sons, Tom, was 10 years old at the time. Tom Lincoln became the father of Abraham Lincoln, President of
the United States of America . A historic site on Shelbyville Road near Eastwood
tells the story of Lincoln's grandfather and gives an approximate location of his farm on
Long Run.
