of this Creek on a beautiful dry plain there
is a Town laid out by the State of Pennsyl-
-vania, it is called Warrentown

, the Hol-
-land Company owns a large body of land
adjoining this place which they are Surveying
into Townships &c. and settling, they have
built a good house on a lot in sd Town, where
they keep a store to supply their Survey-
-ers and Settlers with Provision &c. Joseph
Johnson our Pilot have had the charge of this
Store, and this was as far as he designed
going with us. When we arrived here we
met with perhaps 20 or more Indians, many
of whom were drunk, having obtained
liquor of some settlers that were at this
House intending in a few days to go up
the Creek to their destined spot, Joseph John-
-son immediately put a stop to the selling
of Liquor, and informed us, that he and his
men had obtained from the use of it distilled spirits in there
surveying business last summer, as was the
practice of other surveyors in the Holland
employ, and found they were better without
it. he agreed with a Young Indian who
was sober, and we were informed would not
get drunk, to Pilot us tomorrow to Cornplan-
-ter’s Village, he was a good Countenanced lad,
