Frequent allusions to these "servants" are found in lettere addressed to Col. Washington in 1774 and 1775 by Valentine Crawford, who re- aided on Jacobs Creek, and asted as general agent in charge of Wash- ington's lande and affairs of improvement in this region. An extract from one of those letters is given below, via. :

"JACOBS ORREK, July 27, 1774.

"DRAB COLONEL,-On Sunday evening or Monday morning, William Orr, one of the most orderly mes I thought I had, ran away, and has taken a borse and other things. I have sent you an advertisement of him. I am convinced he will make for some ship in Potomac River. I bave sent two men after him, and furnished them with horses and money. I have also written to my brother, Richard Stevenson [a half- brother of Crawford's], in Berkeley, and James McCormick to escort the men I sent, and to forward this letter and advertisement to you. . . . I have sold all the men buttwo, and I believe I should have told them but the man who is run away had a very core foot, which was out with an axe and was not long well, and Jobs Smith was not well of the old disorder he had when bo left your house. I sold Peter Miller and John Wood to one Mr. Edward Cook for £46, the money to be applied to the use of build- ing your mill. I sold Thomas MoPherson and his wife and James Lowe to Maj. John McCulloch and Jones Ennis for £66, payable in six months from the date of sale. To my brother I sold William Luke, Thomas White, and the boy, John Knight. He is either to pay you for them or he loses them in case you can prosecute your designs down the river [the opening of a plantation on the Virginia side of the Ohio, between Wheeling and the Little Kanawha]. I took John Smith and William Orr on the same terms; so that, in justice, I am accountable to you for the man if he is never got. I should have sold the whole of the servants, agresable to your letter, if I could have got cash or good pay, but the confusion of the times put it out of my power. . . . I only went down to Fort Pitt a day or two, and two of my own servants and two militia- men ran away. I followed them and caught them all down at Bedford, and brought them back. While I was gone two of your men, John Wood and Peter Miller, stole a quantity of bacon and bread, and were to have started that very night I got home, but a man of mine discovered their design. I sold them immediately, and would have sold the whole if I could, or delivered them to Mr. Simpson, but he would not be con- cerned with them at any rate."

The following is a copy of the advertisement referred to :

"TIVE POUNDS REWARD.

"Run away from the subscriber, living on Jacobs Creek, near Stew- art's Crossing, in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, on Sunday night, the 24th instant, a convict servant man named William Orr, the prop- erty of Col. George Washington. He isa well-made man, about five feet ten inches high, and about twenty-four years of age. He was born in Scotland, and speaks that dialect pretty much. He is of a red com- plexion and very full-faced, with short, candy-colored hair, and very ro- markable thumbs, they both being crooked. He had on and took with him an old felt hat bound with black binding, one white cotton cuat and jacket with black horn buttons, one old brown jacket, one pair of anuff- colored breeches, one pair of troweers made in mailor's fashion, and they are made of mail-duck, and have not been washed, a pair of red leggins, and shoes tied with strings, two Osnaberg shirts and one Holland shirt marked 'V. C.,' which he stole, and a blanket.

" He stole likewise a black horse, about fourteen hande bigh, branded

on the near shoulder and bettook . R. W.,' and chod before. He had seither bridle mor saddle that we know of. I expect he will make to comse cesport town, me he has been much need to the seas. Whoever takes up maid cervant and secures him, co that he and horse may be hed again, shall receive the above reward, or three pounds for the man alone and reasonable charges if brought home paid by me.

THE HANNASTOWN MEETING OF 1775.

The following is transcribed from the " American Archives," fourth ceries, volume ii. page 615:

" MEETING OF THE INNANTANTS OF WESTMORELAND, PENNSYLVANIA.

" At & general meeting of the inhabitants of the County of Westmore- land, held at Hauna's Town the 10th of May, 1776, for taking into com- oideration the very alarming situation of this country, occasioned by the dispute with Great Britain,

" Resolved unanimously, That the Parliament of Great Britain, by sov- cral late Acts, have declared the inbabitants of the Masseskusetts-Bay to be in rebellion, and the Ministry, by cadeavoring to enforce those Acts, have attempted to reduce the maid inhabitants to a more wretobed state of slavery than ever before existed in any state or country. Not content with violating their constitutional and chartered privileges, they would strip them of the rights of humanity, exposing lives to the wanton and unpunishable sport of licentious soldiery, and depriving them of the very means of subsistence.

" Resolved wwawimeusly, That there is no reason to doubt but the same systeai of tyranny and oppression will (should it meet with success in the Massachusetts-Bay) be extended to every other part of America : it is, therefore, become the indispensable duty of every American, of every man who has any publick virtue or love of his Country, or any bowels for posterity, by every means which Ged has put in his power, to resist sad oppose the execution of it; that for us, we will be ready to oppose it with our lives and fortunes. And the better to enable us to accomplish It, we will immediately form ourselves into a military body, to consist of Companies to be made up out of the several Townships under the follow- ing Association, which is declared to be the Association of Westmoreland county :

" Possessed with the most unshaken loyalty and fidelity to His Ma- jesty King George the Third, whom we acknowledge to be our lawful and rightful King, and who we wish may long be the beloved Sovereign of a free and happy people throughout the whole British Empire; we declare to the world, that we do not mean by this Association to deviate from that loyalty which we hold it our bounden duty to observe; but, animated with the love of liberty, it is no lees our duty to maintain and defend our just rights (which, with sorrow, we have seen of late wan- tonly violated in many instances by a wicked Ministry and a corrupted Parliament) and transmit them entire to our posterity, for which pur- pose we do agree and associate together:

"1st. To arm and form ourselves into a Regiment or Regiments, and choose officers to command us in such proportion as shall be thought necessary.

"2d. We will, with alacrity, endeavor to make ourselves masters of the manual exercise, and such evolutione as shall be necessary to enable us to act in a body with concert; and to that end we will meet at such times and places as shall be appointed either for the Companies or the Regiment, by the officers commanding each when chosen.

"3d. That should our Country be invaded by a foreign enemy, or should Troops be sent from Great Britain to enforce the late arbitrary Acts of its Parliament, we will cheerfully submit to a military dieci- pline, and to the utmost of our power resist and oppose them, or either of them, and will coincide with any plan that may be formed for the defense of America in general, or Pennsylvania in particular.

"4th. That we do not wish or desire any innovation, but only that things may be restored to, und go on in the same way as before the ers of the Stamp Act, when Boston grew great and America was happy. As a proof of this disposition, we will 'quietly mbmit to the laws by which

we have been accustomed to be governed before that period, and will, in our several or associate capacities, be ready when called on to assist the divil magistrate in carrying the same into execution.

"5th. That when the British Parliament shall have repealed their late obnazione Statutes, and shall recede from their claim to tax na, and make lawe for us in every instance, or when some general plan of union er reconciliation has been formed and accepted by America, this, our association, shall be dissolved; but till then it shall remain in full forse; sad to the observation of it we bind ourselves by everything dear and mored amongst men.

" No Hoeneed murder ! no famine introduced by law !

" Resolved, That on Wednesday, the 24th instant, the township meet to accede to the said Association and choose their officers."

THE PITTSBURGH MEETING OF 1775.

AUGUSTA COUNTY (VIRGINTA) COMMITTEE.

" At a meeting of the inhabitants of that part of Augusta County that Lies on the west side of the Lanrel Hill, at Pittsburgh, the 16th day of May, 1775, the following gentlemen were chosen a committee for the said district, viz .: George Croghan, John Campbell, Edward Ward, Thomas Smsallman, John Cannon, John Mccullough, William Gee, George Valandigham, John Gibson, Dorsey Penticost, Edward Cook, William Crawford, Devereux Smith, John Anderson, David Rodgers, Jacob Vanmetre, Henry Enoch, James Ennis, George Willson, William Vance, David Shepherd, William Elliot, Richmond Willis, Samuel Sam- ple, John Ormeby, Richard MeMinher, John Neville, and John Swear-

"The foregoing gentlemen met in committee, and resolved that John Campbell, John Ormeby, Edward Ward, Thomas Smallman, Samuel Sample, John Anderson, and Devereux Smith, or any four of them, be a Standing Committee, and bare full power to meet at such times as they shall judge necessary, and in case of any emergency, to call the commit- tee of this district together, and shall be vested with the same power and authority as the other standing committee and committees of corres- pondence are in the other counties within this colony.

" Resolved unanimously, That the cordial and most grateful thanks of this committee are a tribute due to John Harvie, Esquire, our worthy representative in the late Colonial Convention held at Richmond, for his faithful discharge of that important trust reposed in him; and to John Neville, Esquire, our worthy delegate, whom nothing but sickness pro- vented from representing us in that respectable assembly.

" Resolved unanimously, That this committee have the highest sense of the spirited behavior of their brethren in New England, and do most cordially approve of their opposing the invaders of American rights and privileges to the utmost extreme, and that each member of this commit- tee, respectively, will animate and encourage their neighborhood to fol- low the brave example.

"The imminent danger that threatens America in general, from min- Isterial and parliamentary denunciations of our ruin, and is now carry- ing into execution by open acts of unprovoked hostilities in our sister colony of Massachusetts, as well as the danger to be apprehended to this colony in particular from a domestic enemy, said to be prompted by the wicked minions of power to execute our ruin, added to the menaces of an Indian war. likewise maid to be in contemplation, thereby think to en- gare our attention, and divert it from that still more interesting object of liberty and freedom, that deeply and with so much justice hath called forth the attention of all America, for the prevention of all or any of those impending ovila, it is

"Resolved, That the recommendation of the Richmond Convention, of the 20th of last March, relative to the embodying, arming, and disciplin- ing the militia, be immediately carried into execution with the greatest diligence in this country, by the officers appointed for that end ; and that the recommendation of the maid Convention to the several committees of this colony, to collect from their constituents, in such manner as shall be most agreeable to them, so much money as shall be sufficient to pur- chase half a pound of gunpowder and one pound of lead, flints, and cartridge paper for every tithable person in their county, be likewise carried into execution.

"This committee, therefore, out of the deepest sense of the expedienoy of this measure, most earnestly entreat that every member of this com- mittee do collect from each tithable person in their several districts the sums of two shillings and six pence, which we deem no more thad sufi- cleat for the above purpose, and give proper receipta to all such as pay the came into their hands, and the sum so collected to be paid into the nande of Mr. John Campbell, who is to give proper security to this com- mittee or their successors, for the due and faithful application of the

money to deposited with him for the above purpose, by or with the ad- - vice of this committee, or their successors; and this committee, as your representatives; and who are most ardently laboring for your preserva. tion, call on you, our constituents, our friends, brethren, and follow-suf- ferera, in the name of God, of everything you hold mered or valuable, for the sake of your wives, children, and unborn generations, that you will, every one of you, in your several stations, to the utmost of your power, senist in levying such sum, by not only paying yourselves but by assisting those who are not in a condition at present to do so. W. beartily lament the case of all such as have not this sam at command in this day of necessity; to all much we recommend to tender security to such as Providence has enabled to lend them so much ; and this commit- tee do pledge their faith and fortunes to you, their constituents, that we shall, without fee or reward, use our best endeavors to procure, with the money to collected, the ammunition our present exigencies have made to exceedingly necessary.

" As this committee has reason to believe there is a quantity of ammu- nition destined for this place for the purpose of government, and as this country on the west side of the Laurel Hill, is greatly distressed for want of ammunition, and deprived of the means of procuring it, by reason of its situation, as easy as the lower counties of this colony, they do earnestly request the committees of Frederick, Augusta, and Hampshire, that they will not suffer the ammunition to pass through their counties for the purpose of government, but will secure it for the use of this destitute country, and immediately inform this committee of their having done so. " Resolved, That this committee do approve of the resolution of the com- mittee of the other part of the county, relative to the cultivating a friendship with the Indians, and if any person shall be so depraved as to take the life of any Indian that may come to us in a friendly manner, we will, as one man, une our utmost endeavors to bring such offender to condiga punishment.

" Ordered, That the standing committee be directed to secure such arms and ammunition as are not employed in actual service or private prop- erty, and that they get the same repaired and deliver them to such cap- tains of Independent Companies as may make application for the same, and take such captain's receipt for the arms so delivered.

" Resolved, That the ram of fifteen pounds, current money, be raised by subscription, and that the same be transmitted to Robert Carter Nicho- las, Esq., for the use of the depaties sent from this colony to the general Congress. Which sum of money was immediately paid by the commit- tee then present. "-Craig's History of Pittsburgh.

APPENDIX "C." [See Chapter XVII.]

We give herewith a list of the names of those taking the foregoing osth, and returned by Hugh Martin, Esq. Martin was a substantial citizen in his day, was early appointed one of the county justices, and was by reappointment a justice of the pesce nearly all his life. Among the county records his name is met with often. He was one of the com- missioners designated by the Assembly to locate the county-seat, when the report was made in favor of Greensburg. He resided on the Sewickley. This list was found among others in the department buildings at Harris- burg, when the compilers of the new series of the Pennsylvania Archives were ransacking for material, and thus, as we understand, at the desire of a Westmorelander, at the time there, was inserted among others of a dimilar kind to be found in the third volume of that series.
