mond, to which I refer any perfon for my character, 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 Logan on that occafion, it might have been, or might not, for any thing I know, as I never heard of it till long afterwards. I do not believe that Logan had any rela tions 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 best reason 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 cannot fay; but it is proba ble 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..

JOHN SAPPINGTON.

Madison County, Feb. 13th, 1800.

I do certify further that the above named John Sappington told me, at the same time and place at which he gave me the above narrative, that he himself was the man who fhot the brother of Logan in the house as above related, and that he likewise killed one of the Indians in one of the canoes, which came over from the oppofite fhore.

He likewise told me, that Crefap never faid an angry word to him about the matter, although he was frequently in company with Crefap, and indeed had been, and continued to be, in habits of intimacy with that gentleman, and was always befriended by him on every occafion. He further told me, that after they had perpetrated the murder, and were flying into the fettlements, he met with Crefap (if I recollect right, at Redstone old fort,) and gave him a fcalp, a very large fine one, as he expreffed it, and adorned with filver. This fcalp I think he told me, was the fcalp of Logan's brother; though as to this I am not abfolutely certain.
