Alexander Stephen, of the county of Lancaster, personally appeared 

 before Thomas Foster, Esq., one of the Magistrates, and being duly qual- 

 ified according to law, doth say, that Connayak Sally, an Indian woman, 

 told him that the Conestogue Indians had killed Jegrea, an Indian, because 

 he would not join the Conestogue Indians in destroying the English.

 old William Hamilton, on Sherman's Creek, and also another man, with
