THE CURRENCE FAMILY.
The Currence Family. William was the paternal ances- tor of the Currence family in Randolph. He immigrated from Ireland to the colonies, locating in Maryland. He left his na- tive land when 16 years of age. After remaining in Maryland for a few years he pushed farther into the wilderness and settled in the Valley, occupying the land where the town of Beverly is now located. Believing that the county seat would be located farther up the Valley, he traded lands with the Westfalls, obtaining 600 acres where the town of Mill Creek is now located. He built a tub mill on the river, near the mouth of Mill Creek. This is supposed to have been the first water mill within the present limits of Randolph County. Some years later his son. William, built a grist mill on Mill Creek, on the site of the present steam flouring mill of > Jesse Rosencranse. That stream for many years in the pion- eer period bore the name of Currence's Mill Creek. Later the word Currence was dropped and it has since borne the abbreviated name of Mill Creek. He built the Currence Fort, which was located a few hundred yards southeast of the rail- way station in the present town of Mill Creek. It was built

in 1774. Withers incorrectly refers to it as Cassino's fort. In the early days of Randolph, the pioneers carried their iron, ยท salt and other necessities that could not be manufactured at home, from Clarksburg on pack horses. It was while on one of these trips that William Currence met a Miss Steele of Harrison County, whom he married.
William Currence was killed from ambush by the Indians May 12, 1791. Frank Riffle was killed by the savages on the same day, on the same road, and in the same immediate vi- cinity. Whether they were together when they were attacked is not known. They were killed on the flat between Beccas and Riffles Creek, near where the Old Brick Church stood. Mr. Currence was on his way to Haddan's fort, several miles up the river. He then lived in the vicinity of Currence's Fort. The settlers were apprehensive that Indians were in the com- munity and Mr. Currence's family in vain entreated him not to venture on such a perilous trip. His son was sent to the field for the horse and returned with the excuse that the ani- mal could not be caught. But the father was obdurate and under threats of punishment the lad brought the horse to his father. Mr. Currence was shot and killed by a shot from an Indian's rifle and the tradition that he came to his death by falling against a tree when his horse was shot from under him, is incorrect.
Disagreement with his step mother was the cause of William Currence leaving home and coming to America. In the absence of his father a misunderstanding arose between the two. Believing that harmony was no longer possible, he at once entered upon his journey to America. When a short distance from home he met his father, who enquired where he was going. The son replied, "To America." The father after finding admonition unavailing, dismounted and a spirited foot race was the result. The young man finally leaped a ditch which the parent could not cross and eluded the pur- suit of his father.
Ten children were born to Mr. and Mrs. William (Steele) Currence. They were as follows: John, Willliam, Samuel, Sydney, Jane, Sally, Ann. Lydia, and two girls whose names are not known. One of these girls married Samuel Bonner.
