History of Columbia County.
NUMBER ".

Fort FREELAND was situated about four
miles up Warriors Run. 1t is said by Col,
Hunter to be "a little fort near Muncy hill,
called Fort Freeland." 1t is first spoken of
as a fort in 1879. There was a grist mill
built near there by Jacob Freeland in 1873
Or 1774. The Freeland two-story log dwell
ing house, which constituted the fort, seems
to have been picketed in the fall of 177S.
The Freeland party were from Essex county,
New jersey. On the 2lst of April, 1779, the
Indians killed or captured seven of the mill
tia men stationed there-but it was not until
the 29th that the real attack on the fort was
made. There were at the time forty or fifty
women and children in the fort, aud by some
accounts thirty-two men, and by others only
twenty-one. At daybrcak on the Doth of
April, 1779, party of about 800, consisting
of British and Indians, commanded by Capt.
Mcdonald surrounded the fort. There was
but little ammunition, and Mary Kirk and
Phebc Vincent Immediately commenced to
run their spoons and plates into bullets. The
distress of the women and children and the
want Of ammunition made successful resis-
tance hopeless, and about nine o'clock flag
of truce was raised. John Little and John
Vincent conducted the negotiations, and af-
ter consultation agreed upon the following q
articles
ARTICLES OF CAPITULATIoN, FORT FREE
LAND, l779.
Articles of Capitulation ent'd into Be
tween Captn John Mcdaniel on his Males
ties part & John Little on that of the Con-
gress.

2dly. All Men Bearing Arms are to Sur

Sd. The Women and Children not to be

JOHN MCDONALD,
Capt. of Rangers,
JOHN LITTLE.

1t was after this surrender that Capt.
Boone's party came up, so many of whom
were uselessly slaughtered by the enemy.
In the fort but five men were killed. viz,
James Watts, John McClintock, William
McClung, James Miles and Henry Gilflen.
Thirteen scalps of Capt Boones party were
brought into the fort in pocket handker-
chief. Among them was Capt. Boone's.
The whole garrison left the fort by -
o'clock, and the women and children reached
Northumberland, IS miles distant, that
night, not having eaten bite during the
whole day. Col. Smith writes to President
Reed from Sunbury, August Sd, 1879, that
he.is there "with sixty Paxtang boys ,ald
intends to follow the savages. He reports
that tilty-two women and children and four
old men came safely from Fort Freeland.
He says the distress of the people is great
the town new composes Northumberland
county-houses, barns, wheat, stacks of hay,
all is consumed Such devastation he has
not yet seen. The surrender of Fort Free
land and the defeat and death of Capt Boone
left every thing exposed. Col. Hunter
writes under date of July Goth, "The town
of Northumberland was the frontier last
night, and ! am afraid Sunbury will be to-
night" And he begs for assistance. as well
he might, seeing the helpless women and
children flying down the river, many of the
husbands and fathers slain, and those yet
alive going off into hopeless captivity.
1t would be interesting now to know who
were taken prisoners, and who returned
from theScaptiyity. But one case is known,
that of Bethuel Vincent, who had been mar
ried a short time before he was taken prison.
er His wife returned to her home in New
jersey. For four years she heard nothing
from her husband. One evening she was out
with sleighing party, and having stopped
at a tavern Il roughly dressed stranger in
quired if Mrs. Vincent lived in that vicin-
ity. She was pointed out to him, and he
informed her that he knew her husband in
Canada, had lately seen him, and that he
was well, On the return home the stranger
went with the party, and the extra passenger
crowding the sled, he proposed TO take Mrs.
