GEORGE CROGHAN was the most conspicuous name in the Western annals, in connection with Indian affairs, for twenty-  five years preceding the Revolutionary War. He was a native of Ireland, and received an ordinary education in  Dublin. Came to America in 1743 or 1744. In 1746 he resided in East Pennsboro Township, Lancaster, (afterwards  Cumberland County), five miles west of Harris' Ferry, now  Harrisburg. (1)

In March, 1749, he was appointed by the Governor and Council one of the Justices of the Peace and Common  Pleas for Lancaster County. He engaged in the Indian trade, going as far as the southwestern border of Lake  Erie in 1746 or 1747.

In 1748 he had a trading house at Logstown, on the Ohio, and afterwards trading establishments at the principal Indian  towns.(2)  France claimed the vast country west of the Alleghenies,  watered by the Ohio and Mississippi rivers. She was now attempting to establish her claim by the establishment of  military posts from the lakes to the Mississippi and along the  Allegheny and Ohio rivers.

The Indian tribes in this region, numerous and warlike, were to be conciliated. Croghan early saw the importance of detaching them from the French by means of presents and more favorable trade. His suggestions on the subject were wisely heeded by the President and Council of the Province of Pennsylvania, and they accordingly appointed him, in 1747, their agent, to deliver presents of goods to the Ohio Indians. (3)

In April, 1748, he met the Indian chiefs at Ohio, returned thanks of the President and Council of Pennsylvania for the French scalp they had sent down last spring, and delivered the present of goods for all their brethren, settled in and about Ohio, powder, lead, vermilion, knives and tobacco, to the amount of £224.5.0. He further stated that a proclamation had been issued, strictly forbidding all traders from carrying strong liquors into the Indian country under severe penalties. The chiefs returned thanks for the presents, approved of the suppression of the traffic in liquor, but as they had recently induced some nations of Indians in the French interest to leave them, and as they had never tasted English rum, they hoped some would be sent to them.(4) They significantly added " We send you this French scalp as a token that we don't go to visit them for nothing." In August, 1749, he was sent west by Governor Hamilton in-consequence of rumors of the French approaching the Ohio, and to secure the Indians to the English interest.(5) He reached Logstown soon after Celeron, with the French troops, had left. The increasing intrusion of white settlers on the unpurchased lands of the Indians west of the Susque- hanna, in spite of the laws, of the Governor's proclamation, and the threats of the Indians themselves, determined the government to expel them by force. Accordingly, in May, 1750, a large company, headed by Secretary Peters, George Croghan and the other magistrates and sheriff of the new County of Cumberland, visited the settlers on the Big Juniata, Sherman's Creek, the Path Valley, Big Cove, Auchquick Creek and other places, removed their household goods and burned the log cabins; doubtless by these effective measures preventing an Indian war. (6) In November of the same year he was dispatched, in company with Andrew Montour, to the Miamis, to renew the chain of friendship and deliver them a present. On their way out, at Logstown, on the Ohio, the few chiefs then there told him " their brothers, the English, ought to have a fort on this river to secure the trade, as they expected war with the French in the spring." (7) At Muskingum he met Christopher Gist. They travelled together to Piqua. There Croghan delivered the message and presents, and made a treaty, for which the Governor censured him, as done without authority, although he said he believed Croghan intended well. The latter in his account says the Assembly rejected the treaty and condemned him for drawing an additional expense on the Government, and the Indians were neglected. (8) The treaty admits two tribes, Ottawas and Pyankeskees, to the friendship and alliance of the King of Great Britain and his subjects, as the other tribes of the Miami's had been. Signed by George Croghan, in the presence of us, Christopher Gist, Robert Callender, Thomas T. K. Kinton, three Miami chiefs, Andrew Montour, John J. P. Peter, a Delaware and a Shawnese chief present. The Governor sent them a message of approval three months later.(9)

In May, 1751, he was at Logstown with Andrew Montour, having been commissioned to deliver to the Ohio Indians the provincial present, and friendly messages. Jean Creur, the French Agent and interpreter, was there. At the council he was menaced by the chiefs, who ordered the French from their lands. They delivered Croghan a speech for the Governor of Pennsylvania, in which they requested he should build a strong house on the Ohio River soon. Governor Hamilton communicated to the House of Assembly, Croghan and Montour's account of their proceedings, in a special message, and recommended the building of a strong trading house on the Ohio, and offered, on the part of the proprietaries, to bear a portion of the expense. The Assembly declined, and preferred the proprietary would contribute to the expense of the presents to the Indians. That body also asserted that the danger from the French, and the Indians' request to erect a strong trading house, was misunderstood or misrepresented by Croghan. So the matter was dropped. (10) In the latter part of April, 1752, Governor Hamilton, at Philadelphia, received a letter from Croghan, written at the Shawnese town, February 8th, and enclosing a message from the Shawnese to the effect that they intended to war against the French in revenge for the thirty Miamis killed by them, and wanting to be assured of the friendship of the English.(11) In October, 1753, a large deputation of chiefs and warriors of the Six Nations, Delawares, Shawnese, Wyandots and Miamis, held a treaty with the Commissioners of Pennsylvania, at Carlisle. George Croghan was present. (12) These Indians held a treaty at Winchester, in September, with Virginia. Conferences with the Indian chiefs were generally held up to 1754, at George Croghan's house at Penns- boro. The road through the pass on the mountain, about six miles north of Carlisle, and the same distance west of Croghan's, is marked "Croghan's Gap" on Evans Map of 1749, and all others to a recent date, when it seems, changed to Sterrits Gap. In 1753 Croghan built a house at Aughwick or Aughquick Old Town, doubtless the site of an old Indian town, now in the borough of Shirleysburgh, Huntington County, Pa., called Croghan's Fort—Fort Shirley, by Governor Morris in 1756,—when it was enlarged and stockaded. (13) One of the chain of forts established in consequence of the defeat of Braddock. About twenty miles from the settlements Fort Lytellton was built. Fifteen miles northeast of Fort Shirley, near the mouth of a branch of the Juniata, called Kishequokilis, a third fort was erected, called Fort Granville. From Fort Granville towards Susquehanna, at the distance of fifteen miles and about twelve from the river, another fort was established, called Pomfret Castle. Croghan also, this year, 1753, held a tract of nearly 400 acres near the present Bedford town, surveyed by the Deputy Surveyor, Armstrong, and obtained a grant from the Six Nations of a tract in Aughwick.

February 3, 1754.—Again Croghan wrote to Governor Hamilton, and Richard Peters, Secretary, urging the building of a strong log trading house or stockade—in reality a fort, but inexpensive. He mentions that Mr. Trent has just come out with the Virginia Guards and brought a quantity of tools and workmen to build a fort, and as he could not talk the Indian language, "I am obliged to stay and assist in dividing the goods." This was the commencement of the fortification at the Forks of the Ohio, which Ensign Ward was obliged to surrender, when partly finished, to the superior force of Contrecoeur, in April. During the past winter Croghan had a large number of Indians at Aughwick under his charge. The Assembly of Pennsylvania adjourned on March gth, without making, but refusing to make, any appropriation for the defense of the Province. On March 13, 1754, Governor Hamilton wrote to Governor Dinwiddie


 * ” Ever since I had the honor to write you I have been laboring indefatigably with my Assembly to induce them to act vigorously on the present critical juncture of affairs at Ohio, and to grant such supplies as might enable us to resist the invasion of the French." In another letter of the same date he wished Governor Dinwiddie to inform him as to the situation of the French forts, as he believes those at the Forks of the Monongahela to be really within the bounds of Pennsylvania. Governor Dinwiddie replied March 2ist


 * ” I am from all hands assured Logstown is far to the West of Mr. Penn's grant and the Forks of the Ohio also. (l3) " In January I commissioned William Trent to raise one Hundred men ; he had got Seventy and had begun a Fort at the Forks of the Monhongialo. His Majesty sent me out Thirty Pieces of Cannon, Four-Pounders, with Carriages and all necessary Impliments, with Eighty Barrells of Gun Powder." December 6, 1754.—This message was received from the Assembly


 * ”As we apprehend, the Governor will agree with us in the necessity of regulating that Expence (Indian Allies), with all possible economy, and as George Croghan (whose accounts we have allowed) seems resolved to remove from Aughquick, and the Indians by that means will be left without any proper Person to take the necessary Care of providing for their Subsistence, we recommend it to the Governor's Consideration whether it might not be more convenient for the Indians themselves, and less Expence to the Province, if  they were invited to move nearer our Back Inhabitants, till  by Hunting or otherwise, they may be able to subsist themselves  with Safety."

In a letter to Governor Morris, December 2, 1754, he gives the reasons for wishing to leave Aughquick.


 * "All the Promises made those Indians or any Expectations they have of this  government Doing anything for them, they always expect to  be fulfilled by me, and as it is not in my power to do anything  for them, I think it proper one of the Interpreters  should be sent here to take care of them, they imagine I  have received orders from your Honour to supply them with  such things as they want. I think it is my Duty to acquaint  your Honour what I know of the Indians Sentiments and what  they expect of this Government, which is as follows, The  Ohio Indians in general puts their whole dependence on  this government in regard to the Expedition, as soon as  this government moves they will unite all their force and  attack the French."

R. Peters, in a letter to George Croghan desires him to make his opinion known to the Assembly relative to removing  the Indians from Auchquick, "and insist that a stockade  be made this winter." In George Croghan's answer to Mr. Peters as to the best method of moving the Indians he writes,


 * " I think it would be of very ill consequence, for I think they are full near the Inhabitants already; there was one White  Man killed this summer already by an Indian in a drunken  frolic, and if they lived among them there would be constantly  rioting and quarrelling. I don't know what will  become of the Back parts unless there be a Stockade Fort put  up this side the Blue Hills, as certainly the Indians who come  to the Virginia Camp are Spies come to view the Country and know our strength, for I am certain there is a great body  of French and Indians at the French Fort on Ohio."

In a letter of December 23, 1754 to Governor Morris, he writes :


 * " I am obliged to advertise the Inhabitants of Cumberland County, in your honour's name, not to barter or sell  Liquour to the Indians, or to any persons to bring amongst  them."

Croghan always took an important part in all conferences and treaties with the Indians. (14) Croghan was one of the Commissioners appointed to open a road to the Ohio for the use of troops. May 12, 1755, the Governor wrote to Braddock


 * "Agreeable to your request, immediately upon my return from Alexandria, I sent to  George Croghan, the person entrusted with the management  of the Indians in this Province, to join you with as large a  body of Indians as he could." General Braddock, in his  answer, writes


 * ” I have engaged between forty and fifty Indians from the Frontier of your Province to go with me  over the Mountains, and shall take Croghan and Montour into  Service."  Letter from George Croghan to Governor Morris, May 20,  1755  :"Tomorrow what Indian women and children came to  Fort Cumberland with me will be sent back to Aucquick by  order of the General, the Men entirely go with the General,  and the General insists on my going with him, so that it is  out of my Power to provide for those Women and Children.  The messengers I sent to the Shawnese, Twigtwees and  Owendots, are not yet returned but I hear they are coming,  so that I hope they will join the General before the Army gets  to the Ohio."

After the defeat of Braddock, Croghan returned to Aughquick. The Indians held a conference at Philadelphia and complained of the ignorance of the General  and the haughty way he had treated them.

Letter of Croghan to Charles Swaine, from Aughquick, says


 * ” He had seen an Indian from Ohio, sent to give him warning that he might save his scalp, which he says would be  no small prize to the French, and he desires me, as soon as I  see the Indians remove from Susquehanna back to Ohio, to  shift my quarters, for he says that the French will, if possible,  lay all the back frontiers in ruin this Winter." " I am glad I  have no hand in Indian affairs at this critical time."  November I2th, Croghan writes to Hamilton:


 * " Permit me at this Critical Time to give you information of the designs  of the Enemy. I would have written to the Governor but he  has not thought proper to desire me to give him any accounts  of Indian Affairs since the defeat of General Braddock. The  Six Nations, Delawares, Shawanese, Wyandots and Twig-  trees have held a Conference and determined to proceed  against the Frontiers of Virginia, Maryland and Pennsylvania  this winter."

1755.—Orders were sent to Captain George Croghan


 * "to proceed to Cumberland County and fix on proper places for erecting three stockadoes, viz.: One back of Patterson's, one  upon Kishecoquillas, and one near Sideling Hill, fifty feet  square, with a block-house on two of the corners and a  barrack within, capable of lodging fifty men."

December 17.—James Hamilton wrote to Governor Morris


 * ” Since you left us, Conrad Weiser, James Galbraith and George Croghan have been in town, and have been fully  examined by the Councils upon all the Points we thought  necessary to be known. The Country is everywhere alarmed.  I have given George Croghan a Captain's Commission. He  is to raise the men immediately and superintend the building  of Stockades."

Governor Morris gave to Governor Hardy this character of Croghan


 * "There were many Indian traders with Braddock, and among others Croghan, who acted as a Captain of the Indians under a Warrant from General Braddock, and I never  heard any objections to his conduct in that capacity. For  many years he had been very largely concerned in the Ohio  trade, was upon that river frequently, and had a considerable  influence among the Indians, speaking the Language of several  nations, and being very liberal or rather profuse in his gifts  to them which, with the losses he sustained by the French,  who seized great quantities of his goods, and by not getting  the debts due to him from the Indians, be became Bankrupt,  and since has lived at a place called Aughwick, in the Back  parts of this Province, where he had generally a number of  Indians with him, for the maintenance of whom the Province  allowed him sums of money from time to time. After  this he went by my order with those Indians and joined  General Braddock; since Braddock's defeat he returned  to Aughwick, where he remained until an act of assembly  was passed here granting him a freedom from arrest for  ten years; this was done that the Province might have the  Benefit of his Knowledge of the woods and his influence  among the Indians. A Captain's commission was given to  him and he was ordered to raise men for the defence of the  Western Frontier, which he did in a very expeditious manner,  he continued in the command of one of the Companies he  had raised, and of Fort Shirley about three months, when,  having a dispute with the Commissioners about some accounts  between them, in which he thought himself ill-used, he resigned  his commission. I hear he is now at Onondago with  Sir William Johnston."

At a Council held at Philadelphia, December 14, 1756, the Governor informed the Council that Sir William Johnston  had appointed Mr. Croghan to transact Indian affairs in this  Province. Mr. Croghan was of opinion that there should be (13)??? a conference held with the Indians as early as possible in the Spring. He was instructed by Sir William Johnston to proceed to Philadelphia as soon as he could, or to any part of  that Province where the good of his Majesty's Indian interest  might require. He was to endeavor to find out the disposition of such Indians as are still living in those parts and  try all means to convince them it is their interest to continue  friends with the English, and to seek out the Delawares and  Shawanese and induce them to join his Majesty's army. During January, 1757, Mr. Croghan dispatched two of the Conestogas to Ohio with messages to the Six Nations,  Delawares and Shawanese. March 29 he wrote from Harris' Ferry " that on arriving there he found 160 Indians, chiefly  Six Nations. Teedyuscung had gone to the Seneca Country  and he expected him soon with not less than 200 Indians." He asked for clothes for them, which request was granted by the Council. The conference with the Indians asked for by George Croghan was held in the court-house at Lancaster, on  Monday, May 16, 1757. Mr. Croghan thought it necessary that presents should be made to the Cherokees, to consist of  such articles as Mr. Croghan might think those warriors stood  most in need of, particularly arms. This request of Mr. Croghan was granted and he was appointed to distribute the presents. The Sachems made the following speech


 * ” As we have finished the business for this time and we design to  part to-morrow, you must be sensible that we have a long  journey and a hilly country to pass over, and several of our  old men very weak, we hope that you will not send us from  your frontiers without a ' walking-stick,' (meaning a keg of  rum)."  In September, 1757, Croghan was at Fort Johnston, New  York, attending conferences between Sir William Johnston  and the Six Nations and Cherokees. Previous to that he had  been sent by Johnston to the German Flats.

June 30, 1758.—He marched with a division of the Indians to join General Abercrombie. Sir William Johnston was with him and nearly 400 Indians, amongst whom there were some  of all the Five Nations. A conference was held in the town of Easton on October 8, 1758, at which George Croghan was present. This conference continued until the 26th.

On March 28, 1759, Mr. Croghan, in conference with the Governor, gave it as his opinion, that there should be no invitations  sent fixing the time of meeting for the Ohio Indians. If any further invitation was necessary, it should be general, intimating that we expected to see them, and leave the particular  time to themselves, not knowing what time would suit  the Indians, who were so far distant one from another. Mr. Croghan said further, that the Indians in town were exceedingly uneasy, and desired an audience of General Stanwix,  on which the Governor wrote a letter to the General, desiring  him to give the Indians an audience and to make them presents  to their satisfaction.

July, 1759.—A conference was held at Pittsburgh by George Croghan, Deputy Agent. Col. Hugh Mercer, a number of officers of the garrison and chiefs of the Six Nations,  Shawanese and Delawares were present. Captain Croghan held a private conference, relative to the price of goods and  skins.

May, 1760.—Croghan wrote to R. Peters, recommending to him six Mohock Indians, who had come to Fort Pitt with Montour, and informing him that several Indian Nations seem  bent on carrying on a war against the Southern Indians, but  are deterred by scarcity of ammunition. A conference was held at Pittsburgh, on the I2th of August, by Brigadier-General  Moncton, with the Western Nation of Indians, at which  Deputy Agent Croghan was present. Croghan accompanied Major Rogers to Detroit, to receive the surrender of that and the other posts of the French in the west. Captain Croghan kept a journal of this expedition, which has been published. July, 1760.—He accompanied Colonel Bouquet, from Fort Pitt to Venango, with a detachment of troops. During the Pontiac War, Croghan was active; he was with Captain  Ecuyer, during the investment of Fort Pitt by the Indians. After it was relieved by Bouquet, he resigned out of the service, intending to sail for England; he wrote thus from Carlisle,  October n, 1763


 * ”I know many people will think I am wrong, but had I continued, I could be of no more service  than I have been this eighteen months past, which was none,  as no regard was had to any intelligence I sent, no more than  to my opinion." General Gage, succeeding Amherst, ordered  Croghan to remain. Sir William Johnston, in 1763, sent him  to England, to confer with the ministry, about an Indian  boundary line. In this voyage, he was shipwrecked on the  coast of France.

February 28.—He was present at an Indian conference, at Fort Pitt, a journal of which has been published. While on his way, in 1765, to pacify the Illinois Indians, he was attacked, June 8, wounded and taken to Vincennes, but  was soon released, and accomplished his mission. In May, 1766, he made a settlement, four miles above Fort Pitt. He continued to render valuable service in pacifying the Indians,  until 1776. He was an object of suspicion to the Revolutionary authorities, in 1778, but as he continued to reside on his  farm, he was doubtless unjustly accused.

George Croghan's 'settlement was undoubtedly the first, except Gist's, within the County of Allegheny. The house stood on the bank of the Allegheny River, a few rods from  the late residence of Judge McCandless. Two ancient apple trees mark the exact spot, on the draft of survey. The White Mingo Castle is marked on the north side of the river, at the mouth of Pine Creek. At his residence here, he held frequent conferences with the Indians, some of whom were  frequently there when he was at home. In Washington's " Journal of a Tour to the Ohio River," in 1770, is entered, October 18, "Dined with Col. Croghan."

In the MS. copy of Land Office Survey, in June, 1769, for George Croghan's tract of 1,352 acres, the White  Mingoes' Castle is laid down on the north side of the river,  opposite to the land surveyed, and near the mouth of Pine  Creek, on the east side. Clarkson's Diary, of 1766, refers t*o this " Indian Settlement of the Mingoes," and as the " White  Mingo's Town," in Schoolcraft's "American Abridged Archives,"  Volume IV, pp. 269-271. It was, however, a much older place of resort by the Indians. The present Kittanning road, from half a mile above the mouth of Pine Creek, direct  to Kittanning, was the old Kittanning path of the Indians,  and so called by the older white settlers, within the memory  of the writer. In 1753-4, William Trent and George Croghan, partners in the Indian trade, had a storehouse above the  mouth of Pine Creek; also fenced fields of Indian corn and  numbers of large canoes and batteaux, all of which were  seized by the French in 1754. (15)

Pine Creek empties into the Allegheny River, on the north side, five Miles above the site of Fort Pitt, near the present  towns of Sharpsburgh and Etna. Indians of the Six Nations appear to have built the town at this point, soon after the erection  of Fort Pitt. It was known as the " White Mingo Town," from the head chief. These Indians came from the "Mingo town," on the northwest side of the Ohio, about three miles  below the site of the present city of Steubenville, near the  mouth of Indian Cross Creek and "Mingo Junction," of the  Pittsburgh, St. Louis and Pittsburgh and Wheeling railways. It was a town inhabited chiefly by the Senecas, called with others of the Six Nations, " Mingoes." (16) Washington visited it in October and November, 1770, on his way to and from  the Kanawha. He states that it then had about twenty cabins and seventy inhabitants of the Six Nations. According to Thomas Hutchins, it was the only Indian village, in  1766, between Fort Pitt and the Falls of the Ohio. It then contained sixty families. The Monsies were a tribe of the Delawares, speaking a somewhat different dialect. Their settlement was probably the Sewickly town on Evans' Map of  1755, and Scull's of 1770, where the town of Springdale now  stands, twelve miles above Pittsburgh, on the northwest  side of the Allegheny River. Conrad Weiser passed a night there. John Conolly and Captain Ed. Ward were relatives of George Croghan; their exact relationship is not known. Susannah, wife of General Prevost, was his only child; she died at Milgrove, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, March,  1791. Her heirs tried to recover part of his property, but were unsuccessful. The history of George Croghan, the Indians' friend and generous protector, is the history of the  Indians of Pennsylvania;—their conferences, treaties, and  treatment by the white usurpers. (17) George Croghan's house, on the Allegheny, was erected in 1759-60; burned by the  Indians during their outbreak in the Summer of 1763 ; rebuilt  on the same spot; was standing the beginning of this century.

DEED TO GEORGE CROGHAN.

Whereas Johonisse, Scarayoday and Teedyuscung chiefs or sachems of the Six united Nations of Indians did by their deed  duly executed having date the 2d day of August A D 1749 for  the consideration therein mentioned grant bargain and sell to  George Croghan in fee a certain tract of land Beginning on the  eastern side of the river Ohio to the northward of an old Indian  town called Shannopins Town at the mouth of a run called  the Two mile run and running thence up the said two mile  run to where it intersects with the heads of the two mile  springs where it empties into the Monongahela river, thence  down the said two mile springs the same course thereof  into the said river Monongahela, thence up the said river  Monongahela to where Turtle creek empties itself into  the said river, thence up the said creek to the first forks  thereof, thence up the north or northerly branch of the said  creek to the head of the same, thence north or a northerly  course until it strikes Plumb Creek, thence down said  Plumb creek until it empties itself into the river Allegheny  and thence down the said river Allegheny to the place of  beginning where the aforesaid two mile run discharges itself  into the said river Ohio containing by estimate Forty thousand  Acres be the same more or less as by the same deed more fully  appears. And whereas said Chiefs or Sachems fully representing the six united Nations aforesaid in full council assembled  at Fort Stanwix did by their Deed Poll duly executed  bearing date the nth November 1768 for the consideration  therein mentioned, granted and conveyed to his most sacred  Majesty George III king of Great Britain, for the benefit and  behoof of said George Croghan all the before mentioned tract  of land ; for part of which said lands George Croghan made  application unto the Secretarys office at Philadelphia April  ist 1769 and obtained a special grant for part of the same  from the Proprietor of Pennsylvania as appears from the  records of the Land Office at Philadelphia, reference being  had thereto may more fully appear, which application with French and Indians coming down the river, the Indians are  in such confusion that there is no knowing who to trust. I expect they will all join the French except the Delawares, as  they expect no assistance from the English. The Low Dutchmans name that was with the Party that robbed our People is Philip Philips, his mother lives near Col. Johnsons, he was  taken by the French Indians about six years ago and has lived  ever since with them; he intends sometime this summer to  go and see his mother, if your Honour pleases to acquaint the  Governor of New York with it, he may possibly get him  secured by keeping it secret, and acquainting Col. Johnson  with it and ordering him to apprehend him ; if the Dutchman  once come to understand it, they will contrive to send him  word to keep out of the way. I intend leaving directly for Allegheny with provisions for our People that are coming through the woods and up the  river. I am your Honours most obedient humble servant.
