As a result of the murders, Logan…

May 1774 CE

As a result of the murders, Logan wages war on the settlements along the Ohio and in western Pennsylvania, killing, perhaps, nearly thirty men, women and children.

Chief Logan incorrectly blames Colonel Cresap for his brother's death and in turn, Cresap despises and hates Greathouse for his part in the affair.

Lord John Murray Dunmore, the British Royal Governor of Virginia, raises an army and appoints Cresap to the rank of Captain.

Greathouse will die of the measles in 1775 in Yohogania County, Virginia at about twenty-three years of age.

Cresap will die the same year.
