386. WH Sat Jan 3, 1795: Knoxville, November 29.
We feel ourselves compelled, not withstanding the pleasing prospect of peace, held forth in our last, to state the following account of murders, &c. by the indians; but we would willingly hope they were not committed by Cherokees: On the 24th of October last, a party of Indians fired upon John Leper and another man, near the house of the former, on the east fork of Red River, Tenesse county. On the same day another party killed and scalped Evan Wetkins, within one hundred yards of Col. Winchester’s mill, in Sumner county. These two places are seventy miles from each other. On the 25th of the same month, a party of twelve fellows were discovered crossing the road between Bledsoe’s Lick and Chaver’s Cabins. On the following day Cornet Evans was fired upon between Bledsoe’s Lick and Col. Winchester, by four fellows; and on the 29th the spies discovered a party of thirteen Indians crossing Cumberland river, towards the settlements, within five miles of Col. Winchester’s. These several parties appearing in and about the settlements nearly at the same time, spreading an unusual degree of alarm among the inhabitants. Families in general throughout the neighborhood shut themselves up in their stations and all intercourse ceased for several days, except by patroling parties. The people exclaimed; Congress could not know their sufferings, and have the feelings of men, or they would take measures to give them effectual protection.
On the first inst. a party of fifty Indians, on the waters of Red River, Tennessee county, fell upon the families of Col. Isaac Titsworth, and his brother John Titsworth, and killed and scalped seven white persons, wounded a negro wench and took a white man, three children, and a negro fellow prisoners. Pursuit was given by the neighbouring militia, and the indians discovered their approach, tomahawked three children and scalped them, taking off the whole skin of their heads. The white men and negro fellow were either killed, or carried off. Our information
from Mero district, supposes these murders to have been committed by Creeks.
On the 12th inst. the Indians killed John Covington, on his way from Red Bank, on the Ohio to Muddy River, Kentucky. On Thursday afternoon, a company of travellers arrived from Mero district. For the news from that quarter, we refer our readers to the following copy of a letter: Clarksville, Tennessee county, Nov. 12. Dear Brothers, Yesterday I was a spectator to the most tragical scene that ever I saw in my life. The Indians made an attack on Col. Sevier’s station, killed Snyder, his wife, one child, King’s wife and child, one of Col. Sevier’s children, and another wounded and scalped, which must die. On hearing the guns, four or five of us ran over; we found the poor old Colonel supporting his house with his wife. It is impossible to describe the scene to you. Mr. James, who goes, and was an eye witness, can give you the particulars. The crying of women and children in town; the bustle and consternation of the people, being all woman and children, but the few of us who went over to Sevier’s, was a scene which cannot be described. This is a stroke we have long expected, and from every intelligence, we
hourly expected this place to be assailed by the enemy. Col. Sevier is now moving, and the town will not stay longer than Mr. Jame’s return. My wife lies now on her bed, so bad that it would be death to move her. Thus we are situated. This place will, without any doubt, be evacuated,
in a day or two, unless succour is given by the people from the interior parts. Pray ask the influence of Major Tatum Douglass, and all our
friends, with General Robertson, to guard us, or at least to help us safe away. Anthony Curtis. Mess. Thos. & Wm. Crutcher, Nashville.

387. WH Sat Jan 3, 1795: New-London, Jan. 1. The 22d ult. Union Lodge, in this city, was constituted in form, at the court-house, and the
Worshipful Brother William Richards installed Master of the same; the Worshipful Master Eliphalet Bulkley and other officers of Wooster-Lodge, in Colchester being authorized by the Most Worshipful Grand Master, for that purpose. After installation and investiture of the different Officers, a procession was formed in masonic order, and proceeded to St. James’ Church, where a much admired and truly masonic sermon was addressed by the Rev. Brother Bishop Seabury, to a numerous collection of the Brethren, and a very crouded audience. After divine service, the Brethren proceeded to the Union Coffee-House, and partook of an elegant entertainment prepared for the occasion; and the evening was spent in a cheerful and fraternal manner, closing with the duties of the Craft.

John Basset. To convey this call to Dr. Dwight, in such a manner as should evince the high esteem of the Church for his talents and piety; a committee of its most respectable Members, was appointed to wait on him with it, and at the
same time to inform him, that besides a very liberal outset or settlement, the church had voted him a salary of a thousand dollars per annum, for life, should he accept of this call.

Clairborne, jun. at present in this city, dated Jonesborough, Dec. 11, 1794. Very dear Sir, I once gave you a melancholy history of the loss of
three of my brothers, but now let me add one more tragical, the loss of my sisters, their offspring, one brother-in-law, and two of my younger
brothers; these not being able to defend themselves, makes the matter more serious than the former; as they were all men grown. The loss of my father’s family is eleven, that have fallen a sacrifice to savage barbarity. I now as a man of feeling, view the superior tribunal of the
United States, which is Congress, with all that indignation’s heart glowing with distress, possibly can, well knowing they have, from time
to time, had information of the many cruel murders and depredations which have been committed on the frontiers of this territory. But
conceiving themselves able to judge, and at the same time friends to a savage nation, determined (if I may so add) that we shall in this
quarter defend ourselves after the bloody hatchet is laid to our heads.
