Summary
December 7, 1915, letter from Wallace Heckman to Edward E. Ayer, relating the family tradition that his great-great-grandfather, Andrew Fairley (later spelled Farley), an Ohio County, W.Va., landowner, participated in a peace conference with James Logan, a Mingo chief residing near the Ohio and Scioto Rivers. This conference took place in 1774, soon after Logan's family had been massacred by white settlers. Heckman also discusses his own investigation of Jefferson correspondence, which concluded that such a meeting had taken place, and includes biographical information on Heckman's grandfather, James Farley, who had passed on the Logan story.
