jind cljild of *Teneral Gibson. I know he educated the 

 cliild, and took cue of it, as if it liad been his own. 

 Whether Logan had a wife or not, 1 cant say ; but it is 

 probal)lG that as he was a chief, he considered tlieni all 

 as his people. All this I am ready to be qualified to at 

 any time. 



JOHN SAPPINGTON. 

 Attest — Samuel M'Kee, Junr. 



Madison County, Feb. ISth, 1800. 



I do certify further that the above named John Sa})- 

 j)ington told me, at the same time and ]>lacc at which 

 he gave me the above narrative, that he himself was the 

 man who shot the brother of Logan in the house as 

 above related, and that he likewise killed one of the 

 Indians in one of the canoes, which came over from the 

 ojiposite si I ore. 



lie likewise told me, that Cresap never said an an- 

 gry word to him about the matter, although he was 

 frequently in conipanj' with Cresap, and indeed had 

 been, and con inued to be, in habits of intimacy with that 

 gentleman, and was always befriended by him on every 

 occasion. He further told me, that after they had per- 

 petrated the murder, and were flying into the settle- 

 ments, he met with Cresap (if I recollect right, at Red- 

 stone Old Fort ;) and gave him a scalji, a very large 

 fine one, as he expressed it, and adorned with silver. 

 This scalp, I think he told me, was the scalp of Logan's 

 brother; though as to this I am not absolutely certain.
