CHAPTER IV.
INDIAN TITLE .- COPY OF THE ORIGINAL TREATY.
Whatever may be thought of the liberality of the State in making provision for the benefit of the suf- ferers, it may be said that the territory disposed of was not such as that to which Connecticut had a clear, unquestioned title. In the first place, it be- longed to the Indians, and secondly, subject to their right of occupancy, it was claimed . by the United States, and, at the treaty of Greenville, August 3,
1795, by which the Cuyahoga, the Tuscarawas and the Portage path between them was in part fixed as the Indian boundary, the entire consideration was paid by the United States without a pro rata remun- eration from either the State of Connecticut or the land company; and up to this time, at least, the United States had not by direct act acknowledged the State's title to the Reserve. But the State of Connecticut not only asserted a right to the fee, but claimed also the right of enacting and enforcing laws, and otherwise exercising jurisdiction the same as if its own title were undisputed.
At the close of the revolution, the general govern- ment sought, by peaceable means, to acquire the red man's title to the soil northwest of the Ohio. On the 21st of January, 1:85, a treaty was concluded at Fort McIntosh with four of the Indian tribes, the Wyandots, Delawares, Chippewas and Ottawas. By this treaty the Cuyahoga, the Tuscarawas and the Portage, between them, were agreed as the boundary on the Reserve between the United States and the Indians. All east of this line was ceded to the United States. But the Indians soon became dissatisfied and refused to comply with the terms of the treaty, and, on January 9, 1789, another treaty was concluded at Fort Harmar, at the mouth of the Muskingum, be- tween Arthur St. Clair, acting for the United States, and the Wyandots, Delawares, Chippewas and Sac nations, by which the terms of the former treaty were renewed and confirmed. But only a short time elapsed before the Indians violated their compact. Peaceful means failing, it became necessary to compel obedience by the use of arms. Vigorous means for the relief and protection for the white settler were called for and enforced. At first the Indians were successful; but in 1794, General Wayne, at the head of three thousand five hundred men, encountered the enemy on the 20th of Angust on the Maumee, and gained a decisive victory. Nearly every chief was slain. The treaty of Greenville was the result. Gen- eral Wayne met in grand council twelve of the most powerful northwestern tribes, and the Indians again yielded their claims to the lands east of the Cuyahoga and made no further effort to regain them, and the line then fixed remained as the Indian boundary until the treaty of Fort Industry in 1805, when the Indian title to the remaining portion of the Reserve was ob- tained by purchase.
In May, 1795, an act was passed by the legislature of Connecticut, requiring that deeds conveying any of the lands so granted, shall be recorded in the town clerk's office where the loss or damage of the original grantee mentioned in said grant was sustained.
In October, 1796, on the petition of the proprietors, the assembly passed "An act for incorporating the proprietors of the half million acres of land lying south of Lake Erie." By the terms of the act a body politie was created, with power to appoint officers and to levy taxes or assessments, and provided for the sale of rights to pay delinquencies. The powers

HISTORY OF HURON AND ERIE COUNTIES, OHIO.
granted by this act were exercised to a greater or less extent until a new charter, in almost the same words, was obtained from the State of Ohio.
It must be remembered that at this time the West- ern Reserve was within the limits of the northwestern territory, which had been duly organized under the famous ordinance of 1787, and that these claims of Connecticut werc inconsistent with those of the sov- ereign power of the United States. The controversy that followed on this point resulted in a compromise. Congress, in 1799, proposed to Connecticut to release the right of soil to the grantees of that State, pro- vided the State would relenquish her claim of juris- diction. On May 30, 1800, Connecticut acceded to these terms, and thus the cloud upon the title of the lands of the Western Reserve was removed, saving the right of the Indians to occupy that portion west of the line fixed at the treaty of Greenville.
When the State of Ohio was organized, a new charter was obtained from the legislature of that State. This act (approved February 15, 1803,) recites the resolution of the legislature of Connecticut pre- viously quoted, and also further recites: .
