d * C i8 3 On the afternoon of the day this action happened , a report pre^oailed that there was a campy or party of Indians on the Ohio below and near the Wheeling In consequence of this information^ captain Cresap with his party^ joined by a number of recruits^ proceeded immediately down the Ohio for the purpose, as was then genearlly understood^ of destroying the Indians above mentioned. On the succeeding day, captain Cresap and his party returned to JVheeling, and it was generally reported by the party that they had killed a number of Indians. Of the truth of this report I had no doubt, as one of Cresap''s party was badly ivounded, and the party had a fresh scalps and a quantity ofpro- perty ^ which they called Indian plunder. At the time of the last mentioned transaction, it was gene- rally reported that the party of Indians down the Ohio were Logan and his family ; but I have rea- son to believe that this report was unfounded.
Within a few days after the transaction above mentioned, a party of Indians were killed at Tel^ low Creek^ But I must do the memory of captain Cresap the justice to say that I do not believe that he was present at the killing of the Indians at TeU low Creek, But there is not the least doubt iti my mindy that the massacre at Tellow Creek was brought on by the two transactions frst stated.
i: '9 ] All the transactions, which I ha'vc related happened in thelatter end ofApril 1774 : and there can scarcely be a doubt that they nvere the cause of the war which immediately followed^ commonly called Dunmore'^s War, I am with much Esteem, Yours, &c, EBENEZER ZANE.
