Joseph Doddridge

Joseph Doddridge (1746–1826) was a historian, horticulturist, physician, clergyman, and author, notable for his work in the trans-Allegheny West and Upper Ohio River Valley in what is now Western Pennsylvania and West Virginia. He is primarily recognized for his historical writings, especially Notes on the Settlements and Indian Wars of the Western Parts of Virginia, which documents the experiences of early European settlers and their conflicts with Native American tribes, particularly the Mingo. Additionally, Doddridge played a significant role in the establishment of Episcopal congregations in the Upper Ohio Valley.
