November 14, 1606: During an exploratory voyage to Cape Cod one of the settlers was wounded and after being brought back to Port Royal died on November 14, 1606. “At that time the carpenters of France had their own mystery or trade guilds, worked on lines somewhat akin to operative Masonry and using the square and compasses as their emblem. It would seem that the stone marked the grave of a member of a French trade or craft guild, who died in 1606, and to this extent the stone may be regarded as the earliest known trace of Freemasonry in the New World.”[1]
1607
The Five Nations of New York met in a great council at a centrally located village called Onondaga and after considerable discussion, formally established themselves into a highly democratic and tightly knit confederation in which the good of one was the good of all. Now, an attack against any band of the Five Nations would be taken as an act of war aginst the entire confederation. They named their strong new alliance the Mengwe, or Iroquois League.[2] It did make them all the more powerful in respect to neighboring (and even distant) tribes, butt the Shawnees were neither awed nor overcome by their formally confederated foes. They continued to emerge victorious in virtually all encounters, including an intense war in the valley of the Susquehyanna River in 1607.[3]
No. 27.—William CRAWFORD TO George WASHINGTON.
STEWART’S CROSSING, November 14, 1774.
SIR:—I yesterday returned from our late expedition against the Shawanese, and I think we may with propriety say we have had great success; as we have made them sensible of their villainy and weakness, and, I hope, made peace with them on such a footing as will be lasting, if we make them adhere to the terms of the agreement, which are as follows:
First, they have to give up all the prisoners taken ever by them in war with white people; also negroes and all the horses stolen or taken by them since the last war. And further, no Indian for the future is to hunt on the east side of the Ohio, nor any white man on the west side; as that seems to have been the cause of some of the disturbance between our people and them. As a guarantee that they will perform their part of the agreement, they have given up four chiefs men, to be kept as hostages, who are to be relieved yearly, or as they may choose.[4] The Shawanese have complied with the terms, but the Mingoes did not like the conditions, and had a, mind to deceive us [5]; but Lord Dunmore discovered their intentions, which were to slip off while we were settling matters with the Shawanese. The Mingoes intended to go to the Lakes and take their prisoners with them and their horses which they had stolen.[6]
Lord Dunmore ordered myself with two hundred and forty men to set out in the night. We were to march to a town about thirty miles distant from our camp, up the Scioto, where we understood the whole of the Mingoes were to rendezvous upon the following day, in order to pursue their journey. This intelligence came by John Montour,[7] son of Captain Montonr, whom you formerly knew.
Because of the number of Indians in our camp we marched out of it under pretense of going to Hockhocking[8] for more provisions. Few knew of our setting off anyhow, and none knew where we were going to until the next day. Our march was performed with as much speed as possible. We arrived at a town called the Salt-Lick Town[9] the ensuing night, and at daybreak. We got around it with one-half our force, and the remainder were sent to a small village half a mile distant. Unfortunately, one of our men was discovered by an Indian who lay out from the town some distance by a log, which the man was creeping up to. This obliged the man to kill the Indian. This happened before daylight, which did us much damage, as the chief part of the Indians made their escape in the dark but we got fourteen prisoners, and killed six of the enemy, wounding several more. We got all their baggage and horses, ten of their guns, and 200 [two] white prisoners. The plunder sold for four hundred pounds sterling, besides what was returned to a Mohawk Indian that was there. The whole of the Mingoes were ready to start, and were to have set out the morning we attacked them. [10]
Lord Dunmore has eleven prisoners, and has returned the rest to the nation. The residue are to be returned upon compliance with his Lordship’s demand. For other particulars, I refer you to Major Connolly’s letter.
I have run your land at the Round Bottom[11] again and will send you a new draft of it by Valentine Crawford, who is to be at your house in a few days, at or before Christmas. I would send it now, but the bearer cannot wait as he is on his journey. I have drafts of land on the Little Kanawha. I shall send them to you and leave you at your own choice to do as you like.
One favor I would ask of you, if it suits. When those negroes of Mercer’s are sold (and they are to be sold on a credit of twelve months), I would be glad to purchase a boy and girl about fourteen or fifteen years old each, or older, if such are sold; though I would not have you put yourself to any trouble more for me than suits you.[12]
I spoke to Lord Dunmore about your land at Chartier’s and the Round Bottom ; and it happened that Mr. Cresap was present when we spoke of it. Cresap was urging his claim and I was walking by. He wanted it run for him according to a warrant he had purchased. I then told his Lordship the nature of your claim before Cresap’s face; upon which he said nothing more at that time, but wanted me to survey it for him also, and return it. I told him I could not at any rate do such a thing, as I had surveyed it for you.
We have built you a house on your land opposite the mouth of Hockhocking and cleared about eight acres, cutting off all the small timber. My brother Valentine Crawford says if you go on improving your land next summer, he would still do it for you as usual. He has had the misfortune to lose his son Moses. He died with the bilious fever. I am, etc.[13]

[2] The village of Onondaga, which became the seat of the Five Nations or Iroquois League, was on the site of present Rochester, N.Y.
[3] That Dark and Bloody River, by Allen W. Eckert, xix.
[4] Nowhere else, it is believed, are the terms of the agreement between Lord Dunmore and the Shawanese to be found—at least so full as the above. This compact was entered into at what was then called Camp Charlotte, in what is now Pickaway county, Ohio, whither Lord Dunmore had marched his army from Fort Gower. The Shawanese villages were in the immediate vicinity.
[5] Whether Logan, their chief, was satisfied or not, he acquiesced in the conditions imposed by Lord Dunmore. This is evident from his celebrated speech which gives in substance what the proud but disconsolate Mingo desired should be transmitted to Dunmore.
[6] By the phrase “to the Lakes,” is meant Lake Erie; that is, to the Cuyahoga river, which empties into that lake at what is now the city of Cleveland, Ohio.
[7] John Montour, son of Andrew Montour, a half-blood Indian, was a man of information and education, but a great savage. His father, whose Indian name was Sattelihu, was the oldest son of Madame Montour, a French-Canadian woman, and Roland Montour, a Seneca brave. Andrew, who was known to Washington, was a captain of a company of Indians in the English service in the Old French War, and rose to be a major.
[8]This refers to Fort Gower, at the mouth of the Hockhocking, where a supply of provisions had been left under guard.
[9] This village was sometimes called Seekonk, or Seekunk, a corruption of, kseek-he-oong, “a place of salt.” It was within the limits of what is now Franklin county, Ohio.
[10] The destruction of the Salt-Lick Town, by Crawford, was the only actual fighting done by that part of the army, which was under the command of Dunmore in person. The other division, headed by Colonel Andrew Lewis, had descended the Great Kanawha to the Ohio, where the Virginians fought, on the tenth of October, the sanguinary battle of Point Pheasant, opposed principally by the Shawanese and Mingoes, and were victorious. This fact hastened, on the part of the Indians, their negotiations with Dunmore.
[11] The Round Bottom land is known to be surveyed twice by William Crawford. 1st time in the year of 1771 and 2nd time in 1773. This is located in present County of Marshall, State of West Virginia, on the Ohio River, near the city of Moundsville.
(From River Clyde to Tymochtee and Col. William Crawford, by Grace U. Emahiser, 1969, page 116.)
[12] Crawford, like Washington, was a slave-owner. At his death, in 1782, he was possessed of several slaves. In that part of the trans-Alleghany country where Crawford lived, which was finally confirmed to Pennsylvania, no slaves were enumerated after the year 1800.
