July 1764 CE

Native raids on frontier settlements escalate in the spring and summer of 1764.

The hardest hit colony this year is Virginia, where more raids occur on July 26, when four Delaware native soldiers kill and scalp a school teacher and ten children in what is now Franklin County, Pennsylvania.

Incidents such as these prompt the Pennsylvania Assembly, with the approval of Governor Penn, to reintroduce the scalp bounties offered during the French and Indian War, which pay money for every native killed above the age of ten, including women.
