What is location and history of Prichett's Fort during the revolutionary war.?

Question

I have the following sentence in a geneological document: "For some time in 1777, he was in command of Prichett's Fort with a detachment at Scott's Mills and was frequently in active service against the hostile Indians who frequently raided the Monongahela Valley." Similarly I would like to know more about Scott's Mills such as a map location. Obviously I would like to know more then, that is near the Monongahela Valley.

Answer 1

it's Pricketts fort here is a map where it is http://www.stateparks.com/pricketts_fort.html

The Fort covers a 110 by 110 foot square, with 12-foot-high log walls and blockhouses at each corner. Lining the
weathered stockade walls are 14 tiny cabins, some with earthen floors. A meetinghouse and a storehouse fill the
common. When the threat of Native American uprisings occurred, up to 80 families from the surrounding
countryside would hurry to the Fort. They would stay as long as the threat existed, from days to weeks. "Forting up"
was simply tolerated by settlers. Life in the cramped quarters could be unpleasant, but such sacrifices were
necessary for survival on the dangerous frontier of the late 1700s.
