Notes for Robert PUSEY

---

In the spring of 1758 the Shawnees made another attack upon frontier Halifax, seizing and carrying into captivity one of the leading citizens of the county, Robert Pusey, a justice of the peace. Pusey was a large land owner as shown by his patents; he made his home on Otter Creek of Smith River. In a petition to the General Assembly in 1775, he stated that he and his wife and child were captured by the Shawnees in March, 1758, and carried into captivity where he was held a long time until he redeemed his liberty. He thereby lost all of his property and prayed for some relief. Robert Pusey had taken up lands on Otter Creek of Smith River, where he made his home. *From The History of Pittsylvania Co., Va.
