Events of the Novels
The Fiery Cross
In December 1770, while gathering more able bodied men for the militia, Roger MacKenzie, Fergus Fraser and the rest of the regiment head into Brownsville while Jamie and Claire Fraser go to the Beardsley's trading post.
Upon the arrival of the militia in the town, Lionel Brown and his brother Richard open fire in an attempt to kill Isaiah Morton who had dishonored Lionel's daughter Alicia. They miss their target and Morton runs off to hide. Roger and Fergus defuse the situation the best that they can. Alicia is hysterical and worried that they killed Isaiah, but is relieved to hear they did not.
When Jamie and Claire arrive in Brownsville, Alicia speaks with Claire asking her if she knows ways to perhaps terminate a pregnancy.
After word is received that the militia has been disbanded, Alicia and Isaiah run away together in the middle of the night to avoid being caught by Lionel and Richard.
In May 1771, Lionel and Richard are part of Jamie's company. During the Battle of Alamance, they set their sights on Morton, shooting him in the back. Thinking they killed him, they do not report in after the battle. However, Claire is able to save Morton's life.
