armed as the firft. They attempted to land below our men ; but were fired upon, had one killed, and retreated, at the fame time firing back. To the beft of my recollection there were three of the Great-houfes engaged in this bufinefs. This is a true reprefentation of the affair from beginning to end. I was inti- mately acquainted with Crefap, and know he had no hand in that tranfaction. He told me himfelf afterwards at Redftone Old Fort, that the day be- fore Logan's people were killed, he, with a fmall party, had an engagement with a party of Indians on Capteener, about forty-four miles lower down.
Logan's people were killed at the mouth of Yellow creek, on the 24th of May, 1774; and the 23d, the day before, Crefap was engaged as already ftated.
I know likewife that he was generally blamed for it, and believed by all who were not acquainted with the circumftances, to have been the perpetra- tor of it. I know that he defpifed and hated the Great-houfes ever after- wards on account of it. I was intimately acquainted with General Gibfon, and ferved under him during the late war, and I have a difcharge from him now lying in the land-office at Richmond, to which I refer any perfon for my charafter, who might be difpofed to fcruple my veracity. I was likewife at the treaty held by Lord Dunmore with the Indians at Chelicothe. As for the fpeech faid to have been delivered by Logan on that occafion, it might have been, or might not, for any thing I know, as I never heard of it till long af- terwards. I do not believe that Logan had any relations killed, except his brother. Neither of the fquaws who were killed was his wife. Two of them were old women, and the third, with her child which was faved, I have the beft reafon in the world to believe was the wife and child of general Gibfon. I know he educated the child, and took care of it, as if it had been his own. Whether Logan had a wife or not, I cant fay ; but it is pro- bable that as he was a chief, he confidered them all as his people. All this I am ready to be qualified to at any time.
