Jamks LeTout was according to R, Conyngham, Esq., a French Hugue- 

 not, and member of the French settlement on the Schuylkill; living among 

 the Indians, he aciiuired a knowledge of their language, and was useful to 

 the government as an Indian agent and interpreter. He lived on or near 

 the banks ot theSusijuehanna, within the present limits of Lancaster county 

 in 1719. From the Colonial Records, \o\. II. p. 100 — it seems he came to 

 this country when quite young. *• Having been bred in it from his infancy," 

 and from p. 1 23, it appears he had been at Concstoga prior to 1703; and accord- 

 ing to Hazzard'o Rc^•i^lcr, vol. XV. p. 82, he penetrated to Cumberland 

 Valley as c irly as 1731, and t'cttlcd at Lc Tort's spring near Carlisle.
