Killough massacre
Native American attack on white settlers in Texas (1838)
Killough massacre
The Killough massacre, in which 18 white settlers were either killed or abducted by Cherokee raiders, took place on October 5, 1838, near Larissa, Texas, in the northwestern part of Cherokee County. The 18 victims included Isaac Killough, Sr., and his extended family (viz. the families of four sons and two daughters). They had immigrated to the Republic of Texas from Talladega County, Alabama, in 1837. It is believed to have been both the largest and last such Native American attack on settlers in East Texas.
