That Your Pet's at their general Meeting in May 1751 judging it necessary for their Trade and passage to the Ohio to have a Grant of some Lands belong- ing to Maryland and Pensilvania wrote to M' Hanbury to apply for the same to the proprietors & laid out & opened a Waggon Road Sixty feet wide from their Storehouse at Wills's Creek to the three Branches on Yauyaugain River computed to be near eighty Miles And applied to the president and Masters of William and Mary College for a Commission to a Surveyor to lay out the Lands as they pretend they had a Right so to do proposing to begin the Survey after receiving M' Gist's Report -
Your Petrs finding by sd Gists Journal that he had only observed the Lands on the North Side of the Ohio and finding that the Indians were unwilling that
270
The Ohio Valley
they should then Settle on the Miamees River or on the North Side of the Ohio & the Lands lying too much exposed & at too great a distance as may ap- pear by the Chart hereunto annexed to which Your Petrs beg leave to referr ; They employed the sd Gist to go out a Second time to view and examine the Lands between Mohongaly and the Big Conhaway Woods or New River on the South East Side of the Ohio which employed him from 4th Nov" 1751 to the March following 1752, but he could not finish his plan & Report before Oct 1752 at which time the Com- pany gave in a petition to the Governor and Council praying leave to Survey and take up their first 200,000 Acres between Romanettoes otherwise Kis- kominettoe's Creek & the Forks of the Ohio and the great Conhaway otherwise New River otherwise Woods River on the South Side of the Ohio in sev- eral Surveys-
The Gov & Council having not thought fit to comply with the prayer of the sd petition to allow Your Pet's to survey their Lands in different Tracts as wou'd best accommodate the Settlers & secure their Frontiers from Attacks the President & Masters of the College also refusing to give out a Commis- sion to a Surveyor & the late Gov' & Council having . made out large Grants to private persons Landjob- bers to the amount of near 1,400,000 Acres imme- diately nay even the same day after Your Majestys Instructions for making out Your Pet's Grants &
271

Surveys became publickly known where the Lands were in properly described or limited nor surveyed ; by which means their several Grants might have in- terfered with the Lands discovered & chosen by the- Company Your Petrs were laid under difficultys in surveying and settling their Lands & erecting the Fort thô Your Pet's have been at very great expence & are willing to be at a much greater to secure those valuable Countrys and the Indian Trade-
That Your Pet's apprehend from these Obstructions and the delay & expence attending Surveys & from the Suits that may be commenced upon Account of the Grants made out to other persons since the Instruc- tions given by Your Majesty to grant to Your Pet's the Lands mentioned in the said Instructions which may occasion longer delays The Company may be pre- vented from fulfilling their Covenants of settling the Lands & compleating their Fort in the time specified by the said Contract And as Boundarys to large Grants are much more natural and easy to be ascer- tained by having Rivers for their Limits & streight Lines or Mountains to connect them from River to River & at much less expence and delay in fixing them -
Therefore Your Pet's pray that upon Condition Your Pet's shall enlarge their Settlemts: & Seat three hundred Familys instead of One hundred by their former Contract and in Consideration of their erect- ing two Forts One at Shurtees Creek and the other
272
The Ohio Valley
at the Fork where the great Conhaway enters the Ohio, and maintain them at their own Expence That Your Majesty will be graciously pleased to enlarge their Grant under the same exemption of Rights and Quit Rents as in the former Instructions & to fix the Bounds without any further delay of Survey from Romanetto or Kiskominetto Creek on the South East Side of the Ohio to the Fork at the Entrance of the great Conhaway River and from thence along the North Side of the said Conhaway River to the Entrance of Green Brier River and from thence in a Straight Line or Lines to and along the Mountains to the South East Spring of Mohongaly River and from thence Northwards along the Mountains to the North East Springs of Romanettoe or Kiskominettoe Creek or 'till a West Line from the Mountains inter- sects the said Spring and along it to its entrance into the Ohio which will prevent all Disputes or delay about the Limits which are necessary to be imme- diately determined as the Season is advancing to procure foreign protestants and others of Your Maj- 3 estys Subjects to go on with the Settlement & to procure materials to Erect their Second Fort at the Mouth of the great Conhaway River (the Fort on Shurtees Creek being now building) to prevent the intrusion and incroachments of the Indians in the French Alliance and secure Our Settlements upon the Ohio which if not immediately put in Execution before they get possession may be highly detrimental

The Ohio Valley
APPENDIX F.
Letter from Earl of Dunmore, Governor of New York to Earl of Hillsborough, Secretary of State, Novbr 12th, 1770
(N. Y. Col. Documents VIII 253).
I have made it my business to enquire and find out the opinion of the people here, on the scheme in agitation of establishing a Colony on the Ohio; I find, all who have any knowledge of such affairs con- cur in condemning the project ; they alledge among a variety of reasons, that a Colony, at such an im- mense distance from the settled parts of America and from the Ocean, can neither benefit either those settled parts or the mother Country ; that they must immediately become a lost people to both & all com- munication of a commercial nature with them be a vain attempt, from the difficulty and expence attend- ing the Transport of commodities to them, which would so enhance the price thereof, as to make it utterly impossible for them to purchase such com- modities, for they could not raise a produce of any kind, that would answer so difficult and expensive transport back ; such Colony must therefore be their own Manufacturers ; and the great expence of main- taining Troops there for their protection be a dead weight on Governt, without the hopes of reaping any advantage hereafter. The scheme alarms extremely all the settled parts of America, the people of prop-
277

erty being justly apprehensive of consequences that must inevitably ensue ; that such a Colony will only become a drain to them (now but thinly peopled) of an infinite number of the lower Class of inhabitants, who the desire of novelty alone will induce to change their situation; and the withdrawing of those Inhab- itants will reduce the value of Lands in the provinces even to nothing and make it impossible for the Pat- entees to pay the Quit-Rents ; by which, it is evident, His Majtys interest must be very much prejudiced. Add to this the great probability, I may venture to say (with) certainty, that the attempting a settlement on the Ohio will draw on an Indian war; it being well known, how ill affected the Ohio Indians have always been to our interest, and their jealousy of such a settlement, so near them, must be easily fore- seen ; therefore, as such a war would affect at least, the nearest provinces, as well as the new Colony, Your LordP must expect those provinces will not fail to make heavy complaints of the inattention of Govern' to their interest. I cannot therefore, but think it my duty to recommend to your LordP not to suffer this scheme to have effect, at least until your LordP shall have, from the most substantial and clear proofs, been made thoroughly sensible of its utility .-
Report of Lord Hillsborough, President of the Lords Commissioners for Trade and Plantations, on the petition of Thomas Walpole, in 1772 (Sparks' Franklin IV 303 et seq. )
We take leave to remind your Lordships of that

principle which was adopted by this Board and ap- proved and confirmed by his Majesty, immediately after the Treaty of Paris, viz: the confining the western extent of settlements to such a distance from the seashore, as that those settlements should lie within reach of the trade and commerce of this king- dom .... and also of the exercise of that authority and jurisdiction which was conceived to be necessary for the preservation of the Colonies in a due subor- dination to, and dependence upon, the mother coun- try. And these we apprehend to have been the two capital objects of his Majesty's proclamation of the 7th. of October 1763, . . The great object of colo- nizing upon the continent of North America has been to improve and extend the commerce, navigation and manufactures of the kingdom. ... It does appear to us, that the extension of the fur trade depends en- tirely upon the Indians being undisturbed in the possession of their hunting grounds, and that all colonizing does in its nature, and must in its conse- quences operate to the prejudice of that branch of commerce. .... Let the savages enjoy their deserts in quiet, Were they driven from their forests the peltry trade would decrease; and it is not impossible, that worse savages would take refuge in them.

APPENDIX G.
Letter from Sir Wm. Johnson to the Lords of- Trade and Plantations, dated Albany Septbr 28, 1757.
(Sir W. Johnson Papers, IV, 155.)
The Indians are disgusted and dissatisfied with the extensive Purchases of land (made by Penna & other Govts) and do think themselves injured thereby- This is one main cause of their defection from the British interest - This disgust and its consequential jealousies have been some of the chief means, made use of by the French, to alienate the Indians from his Majesty's interest & provoke them to commit hostilities upon our Frontiers and until some meas- ures can be put into execution to make the Indians easy & remove the jealousies, tho' by temporary expedients, they may be kept from breaking out into open violence ; yet they will work like a slow, but certain poison. By presents and management we may be able to keep some little Indian interest yet alive and perhaps some Nations to act a neutral part, yet I am apprehensive meer Expense, Speeches & Promises (so often repeated & so little regarded) will never be able to effect a favorable revolution of our Indian interest & deprive the French of the great advantage they have over us by their Indian Alli- ances.
I would not be understood, my Lords, to mean, that there is no alternative, by which we may pos-
280

sibly avail ourselves, so as to keep an even hand with the Indians ; reducing the French to our terms would enable us to give Law to the Indians. Forts & Levies on our Frontiers, if carried on with an unani- mous, vigorous & proper exertion of the strength of the several Govts, if it did not overawe the Indians from attempting any hostilities, might prevent their effecting any. .
