  • 1.↑ The Grenadier Squaw KNOW YOUR STATE, Greenbrier Independent, November 2,1962 By Phil Connelly, President Education Foundation, Incorporated Excerpt: Some time after this attack, the Grenadier Squaw moved to Pennsylvania to a place near what is now Pittsburgh. In 1785, she petitioned theCommissioner of Indian Affairs for a grant of land on the Scioto River, her former home and where her mother was buried. It seems that this petition, which was referred to Congress, was never acted upon.
