Thomson, nos. 449, 940. Thomas Cresap writes in 1751, “Mr. Muntour tells me the Indians on the Ohio would be very glad if the French traders were taken, for they have as great a dislike to them as we have, and think we are afraid of them, because we patiently suffer our men to be taken by them.” Palmer’s Calendar of Virginia State Papers, p. 247.
