He recollects seeing the bodies of three persons who had been killed and scalped by the Indians just before they arrived. From Sunbury he marched to Northumberland and from thence to Wallace's Fort a few miles above Muncy Creek. The Fort was a barn which they fortified with logs, brush, and earth. He recollects that Captain Shuttle was wounded in the ear and a man of the name of Gordinier was killed on Muncy Creek during their stay at Wallace's Fort. That he served for the space of two months when he was discharged and returned to Bern Township aforesaid. That he entered the service a fourth time in the capacity of a Teamster - that he loaded wagons in Reading and drove from thence to Philadelphia where he unloaded the wagons and loaded clothing and provisions for the Army. From Philadelphia he drove through Eastern and from thence three or four days arrived to the Army. The teams were ten in number and were under the care of Captain Shuttle.
