p. 46.
(This battle was fought between the Delawares, Shawanese, Mingoes, Wyandots, Mohikons, Miamies & Ottawas and Col. Bouquet's Army, on their way to relieve Fort Pitt. This was Bouquet's first trip out- his Exped. against Inds. was in 1764. A map of the battle, by Thomas Hutchins, may be found in Stevens, et. all., The Papers of Henry Bouquet, facing p. 24.)
Near the fording of Beaver-creek also stood about seven houses, which were deserted and destroyed by the Indians, after their defeat at Bushy-Run [by Bouquet, 1763] when they forsook all their remaining settlements in this part of the country.
