George Hicks, also, a very industrious, honest Indian, who had long been a worthy member of the United Bretherens church, had had for some time a white man in his family, whom he had obliged with a home, as he had no family of his own. This man he did not immediately send away on the passage of the above law, and therefore was himself driven from his house into the woods. The weather was wet and cold, and the ground covered with snow, when a white man came to his house and ordered him to take away his family and goods as he wanted the house. Mr. Hicks told him that rather than take his family out doors during such weather, he would give him two Dollars per day for the use of the house till he could find a place for his family. But this could not be granted. Mr. Hicks, therefore was obliged to take his family into the woods and shelter them in an old sugar camp, into which he also crowded his beds & some other furniture "till he could find a cabin" is lined out till he could obtain assistance to move to Mr. Clauders on Connessauga. The house taken from him was built of hewn logs, had good shingle roof, and good floors. He had also good furniture which was smudges mostly lost to him.
