"To the Editors of the National Republican.
Gentlemen--In your paper of the 13th June I perceived an article signed "An Enemy to Aristocracy," and I must confess that I am somewhat surprised from his communication to find that there was any one base enough to maliciously misrepresent the Convention of the Methodist Episcopal church, held at Pittsburgh... For to my knowledge, we neither had a secret or public conclave assembled for the purpose of testing our strength upon the Presidential question; and as for our making any attempts to become the National Church, it would have been spurned as soon by the members of the Convention generally as it would be by the community at large...

"The earliest appearance of a Methodist itinerant near Oxford was early in the Spring of 1805… This traveler gave his name as Moses Crume, and the object of his visitation to the wild country was as a missionary of the Methodist Episcopal Church, sent out by the authorities of that society to the Indians… Mr. Crume lived in Oxford with his family many years.
Soon after the settlement of the township Mr. Crume made his appearance in Oxford, and left an appointment for preaching. The place of worship was in a log schoolhouse directly opposite and north of the present school building. This house was used by all religious sects for worship, and by the public generally for holding meetings for many years. These appointments were continued irregularly by the Methodists until 1818 or 1819. Mr. Crume, with great faithfulness, continued to minister to the infant Church, planted by his own hand, for a number of years. His appointments were for every sixth Sabbath. This band continued to prosper until the little log-house became too small for their accommodation. In 1813 Mr. Crume was appointed to the Oxford Circuit. He was succeeded in 1814 by the eloquent John Strange."4Will of Moses Crume, vol. 2 (old), pp. 354-355, 24 Aug 1838, Butler County Records Center and Archives, Hamilton, OH.

Patterson was a very bold squatter, and staked off for himself a large body of land, declaring that Providence had designed it for the use of Christian people to raise food upon, and not for Indian war-dances. ... He was a man of some intelligence, and held in supreme contempt the Penn family and their treaties with the Indians. He declared that the Albany treaty did not give them a shadow of right to the land; and, as it was not considered morally wrong for the Penns to wheedle the Indians out of millions of acres of land for the paltry sum of £400, he did not see any wrong in his cheating the Penn family out of a farm. For some years peace and quiet reigned in the neighborhood; but in the spring of 1763 the red man again lifted the hatchet, and the settlers were thrown into awe and consternation... On Sunday, while resting from their labors, some ten or twelve Shawnee Indians approached the house of William White, where all the settlers were spending the Sabbath. They crawled up to the house unperceived, and fired a volley through the open door, killing Mr. White and wounding some of his family. The wildest consternation seized upon the party within, and, in the great confusion which followed, all escaped by the back-door except William Riddle."

"On Tuesday, the twenty-second of May, ... justices of the said county of Cumberland ... came to Big Juniata, situated at the distance of twenty miles from the mouth thereof, and about ten miles north from the Blue Hills -- a place much esteemed by the Indians for some of their best hunting-ground; and there they found five cabins or log-houses; one possessed by William White, another by George Cahoon, ... Of these persons, William White and George and William Galloway, David Hiddleston, and George Cahoon, appeared before the magistrates, and, being asked by what right or authority they had possessed themselves of those lands and erected cabins thereon, they replied by no right or authority, but that the land belonged to the proprietaries of Pennsylvania... Hereupon the said William White, George and William Galloway, David Hiddleston, and George Cahoon, being convicted by said justices on their view, the under-sheriff was charged with them, and he took William White, David Hiddleston, and George Cahoon into custody...5Jones, Uriah James, History of the early settlement of the Juniata Valley, Harrisbury, Pa.: The Telegraph Press, c. 1940; reprint of 1889 edition publ. by Harrisburg Pub.

The contemporary account of the attack by the Indians upon the family of William White, an early settler on the Juniata, we glean from the Pennsylvania Gazette, published at Philadelphia: Carlisle, July 12, 1763. On Sunday morning, the 10th instant, about nine or ten o'clock, at the house of one William White, on Juniata, between thirty and forty miles hence, there being in said house four men and a lad, the Indians came rushing upon them, and shot White, at the door, just stepping out to see what the noise meant. Our people then pulled in White and shut the door; but observing, through a window, the Indians setting fire to a house, they attempted to force their way out at the door; but the first that stept out being shot down, they drew him in and again shut the door, after which one, attempting to escape out of a window on the loft, was shot through the head, and the lad wounded in the arm. The only one now remaining, William Riddle, broke a hole through the roof of the house, and an Indian, who saw him looking out, alleged he was about to fire on him, withdrew, which afforded Riddle an opportunity to make his escape. The house, with the other four in it, was burned down..."

There was another war in July, 1763. The Indians came to Juniata, it being harvest time, and the white people were come back to reap their crops; they came first to the house of William White; it was on the Sabbath day; the reapers were all in the house; the Indians crept up nigh to the door and shot the people lying on the floor, and killed William White; and all his family that was there, excepting one boy, who, when he heard the guns, leapt out of the window and made his escape."
