years was a deacon of this Church & an Indian magistrate of great reputation. He was blind when I first saw him and died in April 1758 when he could not be less than Eighty three. He never had but one Son that I heard of, who died October 1767 aged about 67 having the same year appeared as the Speaker & chief of his tribe upon a publick oration.
