SUPPLEMENTAL NOTE.


After these Annals had gone to press, John Jordan, junior, Es- quire, of Philadelphia, found in the library of the Archives of the Moravian Church, at Bethlehem, the Narrative of Anne LeRoy and Barbara Leininger, referred to upon page 12. He writes: "it is in the German language, fourteen pages, and bound in one of the five volumes entitled 'Varia,' in that library, of which Bishop Ed- ward de Schweintz is custodian. It purports to be taken from the lips of the parties, but does not give exact information of the precise places where the girls were captured. They lived on adjoining farms, some miles from Shamokin. They were taken in October, 1755, and reached Philadelphia May 6, 1759."


I am glad the occasion for a note enables me to acknowledge my obligations to WILLIAM H. EGLE, M. D., of Harrisburg, for many valuable suggestions, and for his intelligent and laborious supervision of the proofs; but for which, in a book containing such an abund- ance of names and dates, many errors other than those which may possibly be found must have occurred.
