What happened here

An account from the chapter on Colerain township, in the words of 1881.

1881, Colerain Township

Population Jared Cloud

of Colerain township, was born on St. Patrick's day, the seventeenth of March, 1808; is Of Welsh, and Enghsh descent on his father's side and of French descent on that of his mother. Mason Jones Cloud, his grandfather, came from Virginia about the year 1778, and settled in Boone county, Kentucky. Unfortunately for the fate of Mason, he was required to return to Virginia for a sum of money there due him, and after only a three days' stay in his new home, in company with two others, set out on his perilous trip, and, with his companions, was massacred on Licking river by the hostile Indians.
