Near here stood a fort first known as Crissman's
Fort, and later as Carter's or Rye Cove Fort,
and by militia officers as Fort Lee.
Built by
Isaac Crissman, Sr. in 1774, it was acquired by
Thomas Carter
(1731 1803) after Crissman's
death at the hands of Indians in 1776. The
fort was rebuilt in 1777 by Col. Joseph Martin
and his militia troops who occupied it until at
least 1794. The fort was under the command of
Captain Andrew Lewis, Jr. from 1792 to 1794.
