Plan for the article - started 10MAR13

This article is about a key event in the French & Indian War hostilities in New Jersey that led to the military buildup of the Delaware River valley, retributive expeditions in the wilderness to suppress hostile native americans, the Treaty of Easton ejecting the Lenape from most of New Jersey, and a sensational trial and execution of a man who some sources assert was innocent. I expect to expand and develop this article with this outline below:

1.0 The Raid

1.1 Frontier tensions before the raid and F&I War
1.2 Attack against the Hunt household
