A party, consisting of Elder Powell' s paternal grandfather and a brother Robert, and the Elder's father, while crossing a ford of Cheat river (afterwards called Powell's ford), in West Virginia, were assailed by the Indians; the grandfather was shot, and his brother Robert was tortured to death by pine sticks being stuck into the flesh of his legs and set on fire.

Another version ‑ same story Volume II, Book "Monongalia Story" Chapter Three: 1779 Raid on Snowy Creek. On April 11th a band of Indians came to a house on Snowy Creek, where James Brain and Richard Powell lived. Mr. Brain and his sons, and the sons of Mr. Powell were starting their day's work, carrying clapboards for roofing a nearby cabin. The Indians waylaid Mr. Brain and one of his sons, shot and killed the father, and captured the son. Several other boys, some distance away, were then attacked. Three of them were made prisoners, another, one of Powell's sons, concealed himself in an elder thicket. When the Indians discovered that one of their captives, also one of Powell's sons, had but one eye, they stripped him naked, thrust a spear through his body, and scalped him. They then withdrew, taking with them their two little prisoners, Benjamin and Isaac Brain, while the Powell boy ran to alarm the settlers.
