The New Hampshire Gazette And Historical Chronicle

We have it from the very best Authority, that SIR WILLIAM JOHNSON was lately visited by above three Hundred Friendly Indians of the Five Nations; as also by some Deputies from the Senecas, who were accompanied by one Hans Eie. a German, formerly taken near Fort Cumberland, and delivered up, with several other Prisoners, to Sir William about two Years ago? But, being a profligate Person, immediately made his Escape to the Senecas, whom he has since accompanied, by his own Confession, to War against the English, and committed several Acts of Cruelty, by the Report of others.--On which Information Sir William caused him to be apprehended, and committed to Albany Gaol. And has also obtained from a Village of Friendly Senecas, one Gabriel Ellison, an Englishman, who says he has Relations in Bucks County, in the Province of Pennsylvania, and was taken in November 1762, and carried to Kanawagan, a Castle of Enemy Senecas, from whence he made his Escape to Kanadaego, a Castle of Friendly Indians of that Nation (next to Cayuga,) which Indians having remained neuter during the late Hostilities, have now delivered him up at Sir William Johnson's Request.
