THE STORY OF CAPTAIN JASPER PARRISH, CAPTIVE, INTERPRETER AND UNITED STATES SUB- Jasper Parrish with his father was captured on the 5th day of July, 1778, by a small party of Monsie† Indians, and conducted by them up the Delaware River to a place called Cook House, where they arrived six days afterwards. Tent This narrative is here published from the original manuscript by kind permission of the owner, Mrs. William Gorham of Canandaigua, whose late husband was a grandson of Jasper Parrish. Regarding certain peculiarities of the narrative Mrs. Gorham writes: "We do not know who wrote it. We know that Jasper Parrish dictated it; I have heard his daughter, my motherin-law, say so many times." The manuscript is not dated, but alludes to "the present time, 1822," which fixes the year of its composition. There is in the possession of the Buffalo Historical Society a copy of an unpublished paper written by the Hon. Orlando Allen, about 1869. This paper includes a sketch of Parrish's captivity, which, wrote Mr. Allen, "I copied from a paper lent me by his grand-daughter, Mrs. Carrie Draper, née Cobb, of Canandaigua." The biography thus incorporated bears the following heading: "A Sketch of the Captivity of the late Captain Jasper Parrish, Se-ne-at'-do-wā, Big Throat, as he was named by the Indians, prepared by his son Stephen Parrish, from short notes written by his father a few years before his death which occurred at Canandaigua, his place of residence, July 12, 1836, aged 69 years and 4 months." The two narratives, that which we here print, and that written by Stephen Parrish, in the main relate the same incidents, but in different phraseology; both drawn from Jasper Parrish's own notes, but written out either by dif ferent persons or by Stephen Parrish at different times. We print the fuller document, with occasional reference to the Stephen Parrish narrative among the Orlando Allen papers. The latter begins with the following statement, not contained in the Gorham MS.: "My father was born in the year 1767, at Windham, Conn., and removed with his father's family, at a very early day, to some point across the head waters of the Delaware River, in the State of New York." † Munseys, a branch of the Delawares. "Two days," Stephen Parrish narrative. days from their arrival at Cook House, the father was taken to the British at Fort Niagara, where he was surrendered to them, and two years thereafter was exchanged as a prisoner of war and returned to his family. When captured, Jasper Parrish and his father were about six miles from home and had five horses with them. Cook House, where they were first conducted, was a small place where eight families of the Monsie tribe of Indians resided. While in this situation Jasper Parrish belonged to a captain or war chief of this tribe by the name of Captain Mounsh. In a few days after reaching Cook House Captain Mounsh left his prisoner in the charge of an Indian family and went off to the West. During this time the Indians offered no violence to young Parrish, who was then a boy only eleven years old. He was permitted to ride one of their horses, and in other respects was treated with much kindness. While with this family he was very ill with dysentery, owing to a change of diet and habits. The Indians tried to relieve him by administering some of their remedies, but he was so afraid that they would poison him that he refused. At length, however, he consented, and the medicine gave him immediate relief, so that in a few days he entirely recovered. The medicine was a black syrup made from roots and herbs. The Indians generally appeared to be friendly and took good care of him; at the same time they said that by and by they would take the Yankee boy's scalp, accompanied with motions and gestures of scalping. This conduct of the Indians kept him in continual apprehension, until his master, Capt. Mounsh, returned. On the 1st of October, Capt. Mounsh set out with his prisoner for Chemung. The first settlement of Indians they came to was on the Big Bend on the Susquehanna River. They continued without delay until they reached Chemung, where they remained the following winter. On their arrival at that place and before they entered the village, young Parrish's master gave the Indian scalp halloo very loud, which is a long drawn sound, the accent on the |
