-------------------- Valentine Probst, a resident of Albany township, addressed the following letter to Jacob Levan, one of the justices of the county, who resided in Maxatawny township, on Feb 15 1756:
"Mr. Levan -- I cannot omit writing about the dreadful circumstances in our township, Albany. The Indians came yesterday morning about eight o'clock, to Frederich Reichelderfer's house, as he was feeding his horses, and two of the Indians ran upon him, and followed him into a field ten or twelve perches off; but he escaped and ran towards Jacob Gerhard's house, with a design to fetch some arms. When he came near Gerhard's he heard a lamentable cry, 'Lord Jesus! Lord Jesus!" which made him run back toward his own house, but before he got quite home he saw his house and stable in flames, and heard the cattle bellowing, and thereupon ran away again. Two of his children were shot; one of them was found dead in his field, the other was found alive and brought to Hakenbrook's house, but died three hours after. All his grain and cattle are burned up. At Jacob Gerhart's they have killed one man, two women and six children. Two children slipped under the bed; one of which was burned; the other escaped, and ran a mile to get to the people. We desire help, or we must leave our home." [Ref: Brunner BerksCoPA-Indians p74, Harter REICHELDERFER p5, John Hendricks 12/14/1995, Rupp BerksCoPA p58, Werkman PickawayPioneers p3]

From the writings of Patriarch Muhlenberg:
In New Hanover I had confirmed two grown daughters of Frederick Reichelderfer. This man subsequently bought a tract of forest land near the Blue Mountains, which he cultivated successfully, with much toil and great sacrifice, to enable him to support his family. But fearing the Indians, who scouted the region, sacking, burning, and murdering, he removed his family back to New Hanover, whilst he journeyed to and fro, to attend to his place. In the month of March, after he and his daughters had theshed out his wheat, on a Friday morning, they suddenly felt an uncomfortable presentiment of fear. Entering upon their evening devotions, they joined in signing the old hymn, "Wer weis wie nahe mir mein Ende." Committing themselves to God they retired. On the following morning, as the father had gone upon the open field to bring in his hourses, and on the eve of starting for home, he was surrounded by Indians. From sudden fright, in view of hisgreat peril, he could neither utter a cry, nor move a limb. As the savages were within twenty paces, he turned his thoughts to God, and was enabled to cry: "Jesus! I live by Thee! Jesus! I die in Thee!" In the moment of this exclamation he felt himself at once endowed with a superhuman energy, in virtue of which he turned, became swift-footed as a deer, and winged like the ostrich. He wscated from their sight, and reached his home, but, alas! his hut lay in ashes, the cattle were bellowing in a sheet of flame, his eldest daughter lay a crisp, and the younger, partly alive, scalped and horribly mutilated, had barely the strength to relate the harrowing circumstances, and to impress a dying kiss upon the distracted brow of her father bending over her.
