In council, January 21, 1785 .-


PRESENT :- The Hon. George Rogers Clark, Richard Butler and Arthur Lee, Esqs., Commissioners on the part of the United States.


Alexander Campbell, Secretary.


The Hon. Samuel F. Atlee and Francis Johnston, Esqs., Com- missioners on part of the State of Pennsylvania.


Griffith Evans, Secretary.


Joseph Nicholson and Joseph [John?] Montour, Interpreters.


And the deputies of the Wyandotte, Delaware, Chippewa, and Ottawa and Muncy Indian nations.


Upon the completion of the Continental treaty the Pennsylvania com- missioners delivered the following speech, by Colonel Atlee:


"BROTHERS OF THE WYANDOTTE AND DELAWARE NATIONS :- Listen with attention to what your brothers of Pennsylvania are going to say. You have been informed by the Continental commissioners at their first meeting that we come from the government of Pennsylvania as commis- sioners duly authorized to transact public business with you, as will appear by our commission under the seal of the State, which we will read to you." Read the commission.


"Pursuant to this commission we met your brothers and uncles, the Six Nations, at Fort Stanwix, in October last, and after a solemn peace was established with them by the honorable commissioners of the United States, we, in conformity to ancient custom, purchased their right to all the lands within the acknowledged limits of Pennsylvania not already purchased of them, for which we gave a valuable consideration in goods of the first quality.


"That this may be known to all we here produce their deed, executed to us in the most public manner, and witnessed by the honorable com- missioners of Congress, Captain Aaron Hill, a chief of the Mohawk tribe and several others.


"Now BROTHERS :- As you have been called together to this place by the honorable, the commissioners of the United States, we. by consent of Congress, are happy to meet you, and rejoice that peace and friendship are once more established amongst us. In testimony of our sincerity we present you with these strings. (Five strings.)


"BROTHERS :- Knowing that for some time past you have hunted upon and claimed a portion of the lands of Pennsylvania, and being actuated by the strict principles of peace and justice towards you in the same degree that you have seen we manifested to your brothers and uncles, the Six Nations, and to prevent future trouble between your people and ours we have determined, according to the known usage of Pennsylvania, to give you the consideration agreed upon between us. For this purpose we have brought with us a quantity of the best goods such as will minister to your relief and comfort. These goods shall be delivered out to the proper persons appointed by each nation to receive them, and that no misunderstanding may arise in future, a map of the land we wish to have confirmed to the commonwealth shall be affixed


I 207


History of Beaver County


to the deed to be executed by you, that your children and ours may hereafter have recourse to the same."


To which they, by the Half King, chief of the Wyandottes, replied:


" BROTHERS OF PENNSYLVANIA :- Give attention to what we shall say to you. Your words have pleased us very much and we all thank you for your kindness towards us; our grandfathers have always said that your conduct towards them was just the same you discover to us now. Penn- sylvania has never deceived nor wronged us out of anything and we all thank you, not only from our lips but also from our hearts, for your honesty." (Three strings.)


The commissioners then produced the Deed that was prepared and informed them it was ready for them to execute, when the persons who had been appointed for the purpose walked forward and sealed and delivered the same in the most solemn manner, in the presence of many witnesses, as their quit claim and deed for the land therein described for the use of Pennsylvania forever.


The council fire was raked up.


The foregoing is a true state of the proceedings of the Indian treaty held at Fort McIntosh.

APPENDIX No. IV-B ARTICLES OF A TREATY


Concluded at Fort M'Intosh, the twenty-first day of January, one thousand seven hundred and eighty-five, between the Commissioners Plenipotentiary of the United States of America, of the one part, and the Sachems and Warriors of the Wiandot, Delaware, Chippawa and Ottawa Nations of the other.1


The Commissioners Plenipotentiary of the United States in Congress assembled, give peace to the Wiandot, Delaware, Chippawa, and Ottawa nations of Indians, on the following conditions :


ARTICLE I.


Three chiefs, one from among the Wiandot, and two from among the Delaware nations, shall be delivered up to the Commissioners of the United States, to be by them retained till all the prisoners, white and black, taken by the said nations, or any of them, shall be restored.


ARTICLE II.


The said Indian nations do acknowledge themselves and all their tribes to be under the protection of the United States and of no other sovereign whatsoever.


ARTICLE III.


The boundary line between the United States and the Wiandot and Delaware nations, shall begin at the mouth of the river Cayahoga, and run thence up the said river to the portage between that and the Tus- carawas branch of Meskingum; then down the said branch to the forks at the crossing place above Fort Lawrence; then westerly to the portage of the Big Miami, which runs into the Ohio, at the mouth of which branch the fort stood which was taken by the French in one thousand seven hundred and fifty-two; then along the said portage to the Great Miami or Ome river, and down the south-east side of the same to its mouth; thence along the south shore of lake Erie, to the mouth of Cayahoga where it began.


' The preceding treaty between the State of Pennsylvania and the Delaware and Wyandot tribes was to quiet the claims of those tribes to lands within the limits of that State. This treaty was between the United States and the tribes named therein with refer- ence to the lands beyond the State of Pennsylvania. The copy herewith published was ob- tained for us through the courtesy of the late Hon. M. S. Quay, from the original documents.

ARTICLE VI.


The Indians who sign this treaty, as well in behalf of all their tribes as of themselves, do acknowledge the lands east, south and west of the lines described in the third article, so far as the said Indians formerly claimed the same, to belong to the United States; and none of their tribes shall presume to settle upon the same, or any part of it.
