, so long as Logan remained in the town where Robinson was,
he was kind and attentive to him; and when preparing to go again to
war, got him to write the letter which was afterwards found on
Holstein at the house of a Mr. Robertson, whose family were all
murdered by the Indians. Robinson remained with his adopted mother,
until he was redeemed under the treaty concluded at the close of the
Dunmore campaign.

[1] Mr. Jefferson, in his Notes on Virginia, represents this
as happening at Grave creek, which empties into the Ohio from
the south eastern, or Virginia side of this river, twelve miles
below Wheeling. Those who lived near at the time and are
supposed to have had the best opportunity of ascertaining the
fact, say that it happened near the mouth of Captina, a creek
sixteen miles below Wheeling, and on the Ohio side.

_Comment by R. G. T._--What is called the "Captina affair"
happened April 27th, at Pipe Creek, emptying into the Ohio from
the west, fourteen miles below Wheeling, and six above Captina
Creek. Two friendly Shawnees were killed here by a party
commanded by Michael Cresap, of Redstone, who at the time was
in the neighborhood of Wheeling, surveying and clearing farms
for new settlers. Cresap and his men, among whom was George
Rogers Clark, then a young surveyor who had a claim at the
mouth of Fish Creek, thereupon started out to destroy Chief
Logan's camp, at Baker's Bottom, opposite the mouth of Yellow
Creek, fifty-three miles up the Ohio, and forty miles west of
Pittsburg by land; but as Logan was a well-known friend of the
whites, they became ashamed of their project, and marched on
across country to Fort Redstone. Meanwhile, as will be seen in
due course, others were preparing to destroy Logan's band, and
on April 30th occurred that infamous massacre which Logan
wrongly believed to be Cresap's work.

[2] Capt. Bull was a Delaware chief whose original village
of Oghkwaga was on Unadilla Kiver, an eastern branch of the
Susquehanna, in what is now Boone county, N. Y. He had been the
prime mover in an attempt to interest the Delawares in
Pontiac's conspiracy (1763). In March, 1764, a strong party of
whites and friendly Indians were sent out to capture him, by
