(seq. 11)

Upon General Bouquets going thro the Shawanese Country in the year 1764 a peace was
agreed upon, one of the conditions of which was to be the surrender of Captives by the Indians
many of which were in their hands - Among them happend to be a young Woman of
Virginia, who was (tho not handsome) passionately beloved by a young chief with whom
she had lived some time - This Warrior a remarkably handsome man, was struck

His suit was granted, and the unhappy young man was permitted to
accompany his beloved wife, but as soon as an opportunity offered upon

and skalped this poor creature who had behaved so inoffensively on their
March, had furnished them with fresh provisions, and had given proof
of so amiable a constancy and attachment, thus cruelly dissolving
