I
Ice, Immanuel
659; Frederick Ice was a Hollander from Amsterdam who settled in Monongalia
County on the Cheat River in 1767. Two of his children, William and an unnamed
daughter, were captured by Indians. William, "was adopted and raised as an
Indian, acquired all of their habits, but never quite forgot his white
relations and frequently would make his escape and coming back to his old home,
remaining until his 'acquired indolence' would cause some friction with his
parents or some member of the family when he would leave and go back to the
Indians. . . . His sister married an Indian and was the mother of thrirteen
children, two of whom became famous amongst his red brethren, Tecumseh and his
brother, the prophet, who gave the colonial government a vast amount of
trouble" (2437-38). Ice's Ferry is a town on Cheat Lake, the result of the damming of the Cheat River. [1]
