An excerpt from the "History of Pike County 1822-1932" by Lizzie Mitchell:

The Indian War

My father tells me this - "The year 1836 was one of great excitement in Pike
as well as in all the western counties of the state. For the first time
since the organization of the county the tocsin of war was heard in the
land. Indians had murdered several families and committed other depredations
which produced great alarm among the citizens along the western border of
the state, so much so that the governor called for troops to quell the
disturbance. Pike, as she has always done, responded to the call, sending
three companies - one a cavalry company commanded by Capt. Berry Lynch, and
two of infantry commanded by Capt. D.N. Varner and Capt. Young D. Allen. The
trouble was soon settled - none of the companies remaining out longer than
three months."
