[Footnote: I have understood, (from
unauthenticated sources however,) that soon after the revolutionary war,
Doct. Night published a pamphlet, containing an account of the battle at
Sandusky, and of his own sufferings. My information on this subject, was
derived from a different quarter.
The subject of this narrative in giving the account of her last husband,
Hiokatoo, referred us to Mr. George Jemison, who, (as it will be noticed)
lived on her land a number of years, and who had frequently heard the old
Chief relate the story of his life; particularly that part which related
to his military career. Mr. Jemison; on being enquired of, gave the
foregoing account, partly from his own personal knowledge, and the
remainder, from the account given by Hiokatoo.
Mr. Jemison was in the battle, was personally acquainted with Col.
Crawford, and one that escaped with Lt. Col. Williamson. We have no doubt
of the truth of the statement, and have therefore inserted the whole
account, as an addition to the historical facts which are daily coming
into a state of preservation, in relation to the American Revolution.
