Coll Vincent Lowe gives the board to understand that he
had reed: information from Major William Coursey that about
the beginning of June last about One or two and twenty
Indians belonging to Tequassino and Hatsawapp on the
Eastern shore departed from their Townes and made for the
Western shore pretending they were at Coll Taylors and John
Watkinsons, and that but halfe of them returned again, that
Tequassino was heard to say his Indians were gone out and
he wished there might be noe mischiefe done before they
returned for he knew not what Designe they went upon. He
was likewise informed from Mr Thomas Vaughan that some
English endeavoured to speake with the said Indians upon
their returne but the Indians avoided them.
Ordered that Coll Lowe and Coll Philemon Lloyd be
Empowered to enquire into the truth of the said Information
