Would our lives bent to God’s finger with an answer just as true! THE MI’BDEIt OF HISS JANE McCREA. Who Killed Her? In speaking of Bancroft’s last volume, the Journal of Commerce argues that the statement of the historian as to the famous murder of Jane McCrea, is in correct. The Journal says: Probably no event,either in ancientor modern warfare, has received so many versions as the killing of. Miss Jane McCrea, during the revolutionary war. It has been commemorated in story and in song, and narrated in grave histories in as many different ways as there have been writers upon the subject. As an incident, merely, of the Revolution, ac curacy in its relation is not; perhaps, of much moment. ‘When measured, how ever, ty its results, it at once assumes an importance which justifies such an ■ investigation as shall bring out the truth in all its details. The slaying ofcMiss McCrea was to the people of New York, what the battle of Lexington was to the 'X New England colonies. In’each case the effect was to consolidate the inhabi tants more firmly against the invader. The blood of the unfortunate girl was not shed in vain. From every drop hundreds of armed yeoman arose; and it , has been justly said, her name wps passed as a note of alarm along the banks of the Hudson, and as a “rallying cry among the Green Mountains of Vermont, brought down all their hardy sons.” It thus contributed to Burgoyne’s defeat, which became a precursor and principal cause of National Independence. On account, therefore, of the impor tant place which this tragedy occupies in American history , it was with consid erable interest that we -looked at this narration in the ninth volume of Mr. Bancroft’s work. Knowing that it would treat of Burgoyne’s campaign— awarethat historical scholars had, within latey ears,unearthed material completely changing the old traditions respecting this tragedy—it is with surprise that we find Mr. Bancroft falling into substan tially the same errors in respect to this event as some of his predecessors. The Btory as told by him is, that as Jane McCrea was on her way from Fort Edward to meet her lover at the British camp, under the protection of two In dians, a quarrel arose between the latter as to which should have the promised re ward, when one of them, to terminate the dispute, “sunk,” as Bancroft ex fresses it, “his tomahawk into the rain” of their unfortunate charge. This version has so often been repeated as to have become a standing joke among the inhabitants of Fort Edward and Sandy Hill—some of whom are the descendants of the parties involved—and the remark is often heard upon the revival of the story—“l want to know if they have started that story again!” The correct version of the Jane Mc- Crea tragedy, gathered from the state ment made by Mrs. Mac Neal to General Burgoyne, on the 28th of July, .1777, in the marquee of her cousin, General Fra zer, and corroborated by several people well acquainted with Jane McCrea, and by whom it was related to Judge Hay, of Saratoga Springs—a veracious and in dustrious historian—and taken down from their lips, is different from the ver sion given by Mr. Bancroft. On the morning of the 27th of July, 1777, Miss McCrea and Mrs. Mac Neal were at the latter’s house in Fort Ed- ward, preparing to ride down to Colonel ■ McCrea’s ferry, for,the. purpose of going , to the fort for greater security, as rumors had been rife of Indians in the vicinity. While thus engaged, alarmed by the discharge,of firearms, Mrs. Mac Neal looked out of the window, and saw a soldier running along the military road toward the fort pursued by several In dians. The soldier, seeing Mrs. Mac- Neal, waved his hat as a sign of danger, and pasaed on, which the Indians per-, ceiving, left oft the pursuit and came toward tne house. ’ Seeing their inten tions, Mrs. Mac Neal screamed “Get down cellar, for your lives I ” On this, Jane McCrea and a black woman, Eve, with her infant, retreated safely to the cellar., but Mrs. Mac Neal was caught on the stairs by- the Indians, dragged ' back by the hair by a powerful savage, who was addressed by his companions as the “Wyandot Panther.” A search in the cellar f was then begun; and the result was .the, discovery only of Jane McCrea,; who . was brought up from Jher concealment—the Wyandot exclaiming, “My squaw; me find urn keep uin fast now foreber, ngti!” J x ßy this tiihe the soldier had arrived atlhe fort; ’ the alarm drum was beaten: ahd a,party of soldiers started in pursuit. Alarmed by the noise of the drum—which they in common with Mrs. Mac Neal and; Jenny heard—the Indians hastily lifted: the two women upon the horses which had been in waiting to carry them to the fort; and started off upon the. run. Mrs. Mac Neal, however, slipped off her horse and Was carried in the arms of a savage. At this point Mrs. Mac Neal lost sight of her companion, who, to use the language of .M.rs..MacNeal, “was then ahead of me, firmly seated on the saddle, and held the rein while several Indians seemed to guard her—the Wy andot still ascending the hill and puff ing along by the bridle-bit the affrighted home on which poor Jenny rode.” The Indians, however, w hen half way up the hill, we, nearly overtaken by the P sol diery, who at this point began firing. ' At Indians would fall flat With Mry, Mac Neal, ¥H£ DkILY EVEN! By the! time the tdp of the Fort Edward Hill had been gained; not an Indian was harmed; and one of them remarked to Mrs. MaoN.“Wagh! am no kill—am shoot too much high for hit.’l During the firing, two or three of th® bullets'of the pursuing party hit Miss McCrea with fatal effect, who, falling from her horse, had her scalp torn oft by her guide, the Wyandot Panther, in revenge for the loss of the reward given by Burgoyne for any white prisoner—a reward considered equal to a barrel of rum. Her remains were gathered up by those who would have rescued her, and buried, under the supervision or Colonel Morgam Lewis (then Deputy' Quartermaster General) on bank • of the creek three miles _ south' of Fort Edward, and two miles of south of John McCrea’s farm, which was across the Hudson, and directly opposite the principal encampment of General Schuyler. ;It thus appears, first, that Jane McCrea waß accidentally killed by the Americans; - and, secondly, that the American loyalist (one David Jones) did not send the Indians on their er rand. ; The incorrectness of Mr. Bancroft’s statement in relation to the manner of the death seems to be clearly proved, not only by the corroborative statementpf the Wyandot Panther, when brought into the presence of. Burgoyne,to the effect that it was not he, but the enemy, that killed her,but by the statement of Gen. Morgan Lewis, afterwards Governor of this State. His aecount is thus given by Judge Hay: “Several years after Miss Tearse had departed this (to her (event ful life, I conversed (in the hearing of Mr. David Banks,at his law book store in New York,) with Gov. Lewis. Mor gan Lewis then stated his distinet recol lection that there were three gunshot wounds on Miss McCrea’s corpse, which, on the day of her death, was,by direction of himself,and in fact under his own per sonalsupervision,removed together with a subaltern remains,from a hill near Ft. Edward fo the Three Miles Creek,where they were interred. The feet of the bullet wounds, of.which I had not heard be fore, but which was consistent with Mrs.Tearse’s statomant,was to me ‘con firmation strong as proof from Holy .Writ’ that Jane McCrea had not been killed exclusively by Indians, who could have done that deed either withja toma hawk or scalping knife, and would not, therefore,be likely (pardon the phrase in this connection) to have wasted their ammunition. In that opinion Governor Lewis, an experienced jurist, if not ge neral, familiar with rules of evidence, concurred. This opinion of two eminent lawyers, as well as the statement, of the Wyandot chief, receives additional confirmation in the fact that when the remains or' Jane McCrea, a few years since, were disinterred and removed to the old Fort Edward burial-ground, Doctor William S. Norton, a respectable and very intel ligent practitioner of physic and sur gery, examined her skull and found no marks whatever of a cut or a gash. This fact also affords strong confirmation of the opinion expressed at the time by General Frazer at the post-mortem camp investigation—that Jane McCrea was accidentally, or rather unintentionally killed by American troops pursuing the Indians, and—as General Frazer said he had often witnessed—aiming too high, when the mark was on elevated ground, as had occurred at Bunker’s (Breed’s) Hill. The falsity of the. statement that her lover, Jones, sent the savages on their mission is also susceptible of proof. The well-established fact that Jones had sent Robert Ayers (father-in-law of Ransom Ceoke, Esq., now living at Saratoga Springs), with a letter to Miss McCrea, asking her to visit the British encampment and {accompany its com mander-in-chief, with his lady guests, : t & SPECIALTY. $ SMITH, RANDOLPH * GO.
