DENSMORE, DINSMORE
Wanted parentage and ancestry with data, of William Densmore (Dinsmore) of Glastonbury, Conn. whose will was made March 23, 1786 and proved 1788. This will mentions the following children : sons, William, Gershom and Obe- diah; daughters, Agnes Webster, Anna Pease and Ruth Webster.
These three daughters married, respectively Jonathan Webster, born 1739; Peter Pease and Elizur Webster, born. 1747, a brother of Jonathan. In Book 17, page 101, Early Conn. Marriages, William Densmore's marriage to Rebecca Gaines of East Hartford, Conn., Dec. 30, 1761 is recorded. This is probably William Densmore, Jr.,
who is mentioned in his father's will, although it could be a sec- ond marriage for Williams Dens- more, Sr.
William Dinsmore, Sr., accord- ing to the Glastonbury Conn. Cen- tennial, by Rev. Alonzo B. Chapin pub. 1853, p. 198, was son-in-law of Thos. Loveland and wife, Eu- nice House, of Glastonbury, Conn., as he mentions him as such in giv- ing hlm land in 1739. The only daughter of Thomas and Eunice (House) Loveland whose marriage is not given in Genealogies of Conn. Families, Vol. 1 page 416, is Elizabeth Loveland, born 1723, In Glastonbury, Conn. She, there- fore must be the daughter who married William Densmore (Dins- more), Sr., of Glastonbury. Proof of this marriage of Williams Densmore to Elizabeth Loveland, with place and date, is greatly de- sired.
All additional data on William Densmore will be welcomed and appreciated.

Indian Treaties
In the winter quarterly of the Oklahoma State Historical So- ciety are forty pages devoted to Indian treaties with the whites. Many of them referring to the Mdhawk Valley and Sir William Johnson.
The number of treaties covered is 389 and the dates lie between 1778 and 1871. In these times when we are discussing segrega- tion it is well to note that the Amerind, native to the United States, is the one race that is officially segregated.
One-third of all the Indians in our country live in Oklahoma. This name, which means "red earth" was given . the State by Rev. Alan Wright, a. full blooded Choctaw, a Union College gradu- ate of 1852 whose three sons were also Union men.
The high degree of attainment and standing of the Indian of to- day is due to the land tenure pro- vided by treaty stipulation with the Choctaw, Creek and Chero- kee tribes that migrated from the southeast in the 1830s to Indian territory (Oklahoma.)
There are upwands to 5000 spe- ciflc laws as well as these 389 treaties, some of the latter still extant, that, and a bureaucratic system govern the American In- dian today.
When Johnson in the north or Stuart In the south held a treaty with the Indians it was usually a gathering of the red men from near and far who were featsted at the expense of the Crown, as they campel at the council fire. Then they returned, laden with gifts from the whites, to their
wilderness tepees.
Not much was gained by the whites at these treaties except a changeable promise of the Indians to remain at peace. In June 1755 some 1100 Indians met at Fort Johnson in council. They danced and feasted and agreed to fol- low the counsel of Johnson who said, "had not this meeting taken place five of the six nations would have gone to the French." Still in the battle of Lake George that followed but few of the Iro-' quois responded. King Hendrick met his death while Johnson, ab- sent for most of the engagement, got a bullet and a baronetcy.
-
In the treaties made by Stuart. in the south even one made in London with Sir Alexander Cum- ing with four Cherokee tourists became as "scraps of paper." The treaty made at Fort Schuyler (Stanwix) in 1784 with the six nations was not confirmed till ten years later, after the adoption of the Constitution.
In one sense there never should have been such a thing as a treaty between red man and white. A treaty contract implies equal footing between the con- tracting parties. Now this condi- tion was never met. At first, be- tween individuals or small groups of the natives ,this condition was approached in equality of numbers and power, but this balance was. rapidly discipated.
The Indian population has nev- er been known. In the discovery, there was, perhaps half a million. And the present population is as vague and difficult to determine as In the original number. The 1940 Indian . Bureau gives the number as 380,000. What or who is an Indian is a question yet to be solved.

Sir William Johnson wrote in advance not only his own speech- es but those of the chiefs who at- tended the councils. No docu-i at ments were signed. the presents were sufficient ratification. It was Columbus who began the custom of giving presents, in trinkets be- ing exchanged for the Indians' furs and gold and metals. Later came the guns and powder, liq- uors and knives, Of course the red men were attracted to these 2-4 Malcolm Odell 10 Watrous, treaty councils but they little

;away something of permanent value for a bauble.
Now the idea that treaties are binding and cannot be changed or abrogated is not so. For ex- ample' the Senate cannot adopt a treaty unless by a two-thirds vote but the president can abrogate it without any vote. Again, war abrogates all treaties. So "long as grass grows and rivers run" is a. super oratorical phrase, It has never been found in any treaty. The Indian act of 1924 made all red men citizens.
The treaty councils of the Co- lonial days sought to secure the friends of the Amerind or their neutrality in case of war. In 1768 Sir William Johnson paid a sub- stantial sum to the various tribes of Kentucky below the Ohio but all he was buying was the right of the white man to hunt In that area. When Kenderson in the 1775 Sycamore Shoals treaty made a great payment to the Cherokees for their "dark and bloody ground", all he received was a war to the finish by the tribe who held it. After the Revolution treaties kept piling up. The red men of the Appalchians and the North- west Territory continued thetr hostilities as did the British who failed to keep their sworn agree- ments with the states. Only when "Mad Anthony" Waayne utterly defeated them at Fallen Timbers (Toledo) did they see that Ameri- can was a coming nation.
:
At the close of the War of 1812 new treaties were entered into with the Creeks and Chero- kees in Florida. In 1825 Major Wm. McIntosh, a Creek leader was killed. His mother was In- dian, his father a Scotch trader. Chief Justice John Marshall de- I nied the powers of the govern- ment to take the lands of the In- dians, yet for forty years this opinion was a travesty.

The decade of the fifties ush- ered in a deluge of treaties. In California, in Kansas and Nebras- ka, in Wisconsin and Minnesota, compacts were drawn up and re- servations established. The last treaty was made in 1869, the cen- tury old fiction of the Indian Na- tionality had elapsed. Next came the era of agreements , the parties being the Indion Bureau of the government and a single tribe. Indian treaties 2
The Indians of today are far more white than Indians in blood. In World War II there were 25,- 000 Indians. Some outmoded trea- ties are still in force, as that of the act of February 19, 1831 by which the Senecas (their Indian blood is a minimum) received the six per cent interest of a $100,000 fund In cash or calico. And the "Six Nations" of New York are still given $4,500 annually in clothing or other needs through a treaty entered into November 11, 1724. These red men number about 6,500 so the individual share is small. The Choctaws of Oklahoma also receive annuities by an 1805 treaty.
We could cite other, treaties as with the Pawnees, the Crows, the Sioux and the provisions. Next to the archives at Washington the langest collections of Indian data is to be found in the Oklahoma State Historical Society of Okla- homa City.
