NB These were all Traders from Pennsylvania except Levy Solomon, and in the Indian Countrey between this and Fort D'Troit when ye Massacre began (except Jno Ormsby) & none escaped being killed & taken except the 2 Traders & 3 Men mentioned here. We hear from Fort D'Troit that Levy Solomon & H. Crawford with 3 of his Men made their escape & got into D'Troit after remaining Prisoners with ye Indians some time. I am positive there were some more Servants that I have not been able to get an Account of.
