point, and spent the night on that side of 

 the river, the next day going on to Logs- 

 town (Darhngton, Gist's Jour., 81, 1893; 

 Washington's Jour, of 1753 in Olden 

 Time, i, 12-26, 184(3; Sparks, Writings of 

 Wash., II, 432-447, 1834). According to 

 Ensign Ward's deposition tlie French 

 under Contracoeur were first noticed by 

 him as they descended the river "at 

 Shanopins Town about two Miles distant 

 from the Fort the 17th. of April last" 

 (Darlington, Gist's Jour., 275, 1893). 

 George Croghan, when on his way to 

 Logstown in 1754, was overtaken at this 

 point by Andrew Montour and John Pat- 

 ten, who were on their way to the west- 

 ern Indians with the two Shawnee pris- 

 oners who had been released from jail in 

 Charleston, S. C. (Col. Rec. Pa., v, 731, 

 1851), Croghan noting that "from Low- 

 ril Hill to Shanopens is butt 46 Miles" 

 (Arch. Pa., ii, 132, 1852). The place is 

 mentioned also in the table of distances 

 as given by John Patten (Col. Rec. Pa., 

 V, 750, 1851). In the examination of 

 Mr West before the Provincial Council, 

 in 1754, he said: "Col. Joshua Fry . . . 

 took an observation on the 16th of June 

 1752, at a Place about a Mile North of 

 Shanoppin Town, and found the Sun's 

 Meridian Altitude to be 72"^ 54° . . . 

 Latitude 40d 29°" (ibid., 751). Richard 

 Peters, in his letter of information to the 

 Governor concerning the distances to the 

 Ohio, says "Who [the traders] all agree 

 that it is 34 Miles from Laurel Hill to 

 Shanoppin, and from Shanoppin to We- 

 ningo 34 Miles by what Mr. Patten and 

 Mr. West have heard" (ibid., 759). 

 According to the statement of Lewis 

 Montour, this was the place of resilience 

 of the Half King (Tanacharison) and 

 Scarouady in 1753 (Col. Rec. Pa., v, 

 702). General Forbes' s army passed by 

 the site in 1758, on its way to the ruins 

 of Ft Duquesne. At that time many of 

 the bodies of the Scotch Highlanders of 

 Grant's ill-fated detachment were found 

 along the river front, where they had 

 been tortured to death. 



The Delaware chief after whom the 

 village was named is first noticed in the 

 letter from Jatnes Le Tort, above noted. 

 He was pre.sent at the council in Phil- 

 adelphia in 1740, at which time he is 

 spoken of as "Schahanapan" (Col. Rec. 

 Pa., i\', 447, 1851). His name appears 

 attached to several letters as "Shawan- 

 noppan" (Arch. Pa., i, 255, 1852). He 

 wrote a letter to Gov. Gordon in 1732, 

 thanking him for the present of a cask of 

 rum (ibid., 341). He died l)etween 1749 

 and 1751, as Gov. Hamilton, in a letter 

 sent to the Indians at Logstown by 

 Croghan and Montour in the latter 

 year, says: "Shawanapon and Others 

 are since dead" (Col. Rec. Pa., v, 519, 

 1851). (G. p. p.)
