Rev. John Roads or Rhodes, a Mennonite minister, and his family were among the first pioneers in Massanutten in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia in the early 1700s. For more than 20 years, the settlers lived in peace with the native Indians, but as the white population grew, the Indians became more hostile and aggressive. By 1754, raids and attacks on the settlers’ homesteads were frequent. In August 1764, eight Indians and one white man attacked the Roads’ home. Rev. Roads was killed in the doorway and his wife and a son were killed as they ran for the house. Another son climbed a tree, but was discovered and shot, while another was killed when he attempted to cross a stream. One of the daughters grabbed her baby sister and they escaped to a neighbor’s house. Four of the children, two boys and two girls, were captured and led away. One of the boys and both girls were killed on the march. The surviving boy, Michael, was held captive for three years.A Pioneer and Christian father, who with his wife and six of his thirteen children, was a victim of the last Indian massacre in Page County.
