LaForce descendants...Leonard LaForce and his sisters from L-R . and my cousin Reita Ann (Bynum) Smith from Columbus, Franklin, OH. Reita Ann and (me) Art Thomas, are descendants of slaves who were with the LaForce family when captured by the British and Shawnee Indians at the raid of Martin's Station, KY, in Jun 1780. We (Reita & Art) were attending a 'Gathering' of the descendants from the captured families that were at Martin's Station which was held in Borboun County, KY, near the location of Martin's Station. Picture was taken in Jun 2003. For details on this event reference the Genealogy Report: Descendants of Betty "Bess" (La Force) and in the Related Files section, LaForce Efforts to Recover Slaves. The 'Gathering'was truly a 'moving' experience.
