Years later, when the threat of Indian attack had ended, and permanent settlers began to fill the valley, the carved initials were rediscovered and adopted by area residents as the name for the creek, the prairie through which it once meandered, and to the Pike county township that all bear its moniker. Pee Pee Creek, whose waters fill Lake White, derives its name from one of the settlers who, just before the deadly attack, carved his initials into the trunk of a large beech tree. Here in the summer of 1785, Native Americans attacked a group of settlers who were attempting to establish squatter rights to lands in the Scioto Valley. In the 1930s when the waters of Pee Pee were dammed by the state of Ohio and the WPA, its flow was changed so that today it spills into Crooked Creek, which then runs into the Scioto.
