Summary
The examination of John Baker, servant man of George Croghan aged about nineteen years. Baker was an indentured servant at Croghan's plantation, now Fort Shirley. One day he was jumped by two Delaware Indians and taken to Kittannim, where he observed over one hundred boys and girls as prisoners. Baker estimated there were over eighty warriors and one hundred fifty French soldiers. He was told he was about thirty miles north of Fort Duquesne. Baker watched several war parties go east. One day, he was told to help a young Indian drive horses across a river. At one point, the Indian asked Baker to hold his gun, so Baker shot him and left for Fort Shirley. Sworn March 31st, 1756 before Benjamin [illegible], recorder.
