Effa McElwain, a daughter of Nancy Rector) McElwain, was born
about 1754. She married Vinett Fine. He was a son of Thomas Sr. and
Agnes (Merchant) Fine. Vinett was killed by Indians in NC in February
1784. In the Winter of 1783, Indians began to steal horses and cattle
from the Big Pigeon settlements in Cocke County TN. Major Peter Fine and
Captain John McNabb raised a company of men and followed the Indians
across the mountains into
and wounded another, but recovered the stolen horses. The Indians fired
upon them, killing Vinett Fine, and wounding Thomas Holland, and a man
by the name of Bingham. Because there was no time for grave-digging and
apparently no safety in trying to escape with the body, the ice in the
creek was broken and the body placed there. Before the men could return
for it, the creek became flooded by a sudden change in temperature, and
the body was washed away and was never recovered. To this day, the creek
is known as Fine's Creek. Fine's Branch, in 1998, is in
TN.
Later, Effa married Reuben Redaford. Effa reportedly had three
children with Reuben Redaford, but nothing is known of them.

volunteered as an Indian Spy for three months under Captain Robert Davis
in what is now
Evicks Fort and placed under Colonel Gregg. He with others of Captain
Davis Company was ordered to spy westward in the
and as far as the top of the Allegany mountains which separates the
waters that falls into Cheat river from those of the North fork and
other waters of the South Branch of Potomac. He done so until in
November 1776 when he was discharged by Captain Davis. Then in March
1777 he volunteered to serve six months as an Indian Spy under the same
Captain Robert Davis.
Captain Davis was this year under
he was again ordered to spy from Eviks fort to a fort at a place called
the upper tract and so westward on the North fork and its waters around
their sources to the top of the Allegany. This year a man named Wilfong
was returning home with a web from the weavers and a keg of five gallons
of whiskey was taken prisoner by the Indians. On the succeeding night
on the head of a right hand branch of Seneca creek, which empties into
the North fork, he procured the Indians all to be drunk on the whiskey
