Hetaquantagechty a distinguished chief, said, in a council held at Philadelphia August 25, 1732 " That last fall (1731) the French interpreter Cahichtodo, came to Ohio river (or Allegheny) to build houses there, and to supply the Indians with goods &c.
At the same conference with the Indians (August 26, 1731) among other things, "They were told that the Shawanese who were settled to the Southward, being made uneasy by their neighbors, about sixty families of them came up to con- estogoe, about thirty-five years since (1697 or '98) and de- sired leave of the Susquehanna Indians, who were planted there, to settle on that river; that those Susquehanna In- dians applied to this government that they might accordingly settle, and they would become answerable for their good be- havior. That our late proprietor arriving soon after the chief of the Sha wanese and of the Susquehannahs came to Phil- adelphia and renewed their application ; that the proprietor

agreed to their settlement, and the Shawanese thereupon came under the protection of this government ; that from that time greater numbers of Indians followed them, and settled on the Susquehanna and Delaware; that as they had joined them- selves to the Susquehanna Indians who were dependent on the Five Nations, they thereby fell also under their protec- tion. That we bad held several treaties with those Shawan- ese, and from their first coming were accounted and treated as our own Indians, but that some of their young men having between four or five years since (1727 or 1728) committed some disorders, though we had it fully made up with them, yet being afraid of the Six Nations, they had removed back wards to Ohio, and there had lately put themselves under the protection of the French, who had received them as their children. That we had sent a message to them to return, and to encourage them had laid out a large tract of land on the west of the Susquehanna, round the principal town where they had been last settled, and we desired by all means they would return thither."-PROV. REC. iii. 471, '72.
When the whites commenced settling, about the year 1730 or 1731, in Cumberland, though the lands had not been pur- chased, it was nevertheless by permission from the Indians, whom the first settlers conciliated ; and encouragement from the proprietary agents.
The Indians had towns and wigwams in various parts of Cumberland valley. There were several of these in the low- er parts of the county, on the banks of the Susquehanna, Yellow Breeches, Conodoguinette and other places in the valley which was then without any timber on it.
There was an Indian town opposite Harris's (a little north of Esq. Will's) just where are heaps of muscle shells-they ate them much. Another town was at the mouth of Conodo- guinette creek, two miles above ; and there was one at the mouth of the Yellow Breeches creek, or Haldiman's bridge,. which was once James Chartiers' landing place .- WATSON'S ANNALS, ii.
They also had a number of wigwams on the banks of the Conodoguinette creek, north of the turnpike, three miles from the Susquehanna, on land, late the property of Michael Ruby deceased. There were also several cabins half a mile north of Frieden's Kirche, near Daniel Scherbahn's, Hamden town- ship. An aged aunt, the surviving consort of Martin Rupp,
353
HISTORY OF CUMBERLAND COUNTY.
late of Hamden township, informed me that she remembers well the evacuated Indian huts, north of Frieden's Kirche, and those at Ruby's.
The Indians had a path, crossing the Conodoguinette, near those wigwams, through lands now owned by John Rupp, George Rupp, sen., John Sheely, Daniel Mohler, and others, towards Yellow Breeches.
The Shawanese and Delawares, as has been stated, were seduced by the French, and greatly disaffected towards the English, and afterwards headed by Shingas and Capt. Ja- cobs,* both Delawares, took up the hatchet against them, as- signing as a reason for that course of conduct, that satisfac- tion had not been made them for lands, surveyed into the Proprietary's Manor, on Conodoguinette creek. A committee was appointed to consider their complaints, and investigate the validity of their claims. The following is the commit- tee's report, given entire.
" By order of the council of the 19th day of November, 1755-to enquire particularly whether the chiefs of the Shawanese did not, in 1753, complain to this government, that satisfaction had not been made to them by the proprie- taries for a large tract of land, part of which was surveyed into the Proprietary Manor on Condoguinette, and whether they were not promised that application should be immedi- ately made to the proprietaries, in their behalf, to obtain the satisfaction they desired; and whether such application had been made, and the satisfaction obtained and given. This matter being referred to us, as a committee of said council, to examine all proper persons, and to inspect the council books, Indian treaties, and other books and papers that could furnish us with any lights into the subject matter-
· Capt. Jacobs was dauntless and reckless. When Col. Armstrong routed the Indians at Kittaning in the summer of 1756, Capt, Jacobs, with some warriors took possession of his house in Kittaning town, de- fended themselves for sometime, and killed a number of men. As Jacobs could speak English, our people called on him to surrender. He said, that he and his men were warriors, and they would all fight while life remained. He was again told that they should be well used if they would surrender ; and if not, the house should be burnt down over their heads. Jacobs replied he could eat fire-John Ferguson, a soldier, set fire to the house-and when the house was in flames, the Capt. and all with him, cameout in a fighting position-his squaw wielded a tomahawk a few minutes before she fell-they were all killed that came out of the house.

and to make our report thereon, We now report, that we have perused the printed treaty held by Richard Peters, Isaac Norris, and Benjamin Franklin, Esq., by special com- mission from this government, with the said Delaware and Shawanese Indians, &c., at Carlisle, in October 1753, which we suppose was the time and place alluded to by the As- sembly in their second message, of the said Indians making such complaint of their not having received satisfaction for the said large tract of land, expecting to see some notice ta- ken therein of such complaints; but not finding in it any mention made thereof, we applied to the said Mr. Peters, to know whether he remembered any such complaint to have been made by the said Indians at Carlisle, or elsewhere, or of any promise to make an application for them to the pro- prietaries for such satisfaction; to which he answered, that he did not remember ever to have heard at Carlisle, or else- where, of any such complaint being made by the said In- dians, or any of them, or that any promise was ever given of making application on their behalf to the proprietaries for such satisfaction; and that he never understood that the Shawanese had or could have any right to the said land, or any other land in this Province.
That in order to find what right the said Indians had or claimed to the said large tract of land, and whether there was any just foundation for such a complaint, we have in- spected all the minutes of the council, and other books and papers that we conceived could assist us in the said enquiry, and find, that the nation of Indians, called the Shawanese, are Southern Indians, who, being rendered uneasy by their neighbors, came up to Conestogo about the year 1698, mak- ing about sixty families, and desired leave of the Susque- hanna Indians, who then lived there, to settle on that river. That the Susquehanna Indians applied to this government, that the Shawanese might be admitted to settle, and said, that they would become answerable for their good behavior. That the first Proprietary, William Penn, Esq., arriving soon after this transaction, the chiefs of the Shawanese and Susquehanna Indians came to Philadelphia, and renewing their said application, the Proprietary agreed to their settle- ment there ; whereupon the Shawanese came under the pro- tection of this government. From that time greater num- bers of those Indians followed them, and settled on Susque-
355

hanna and the Upper parts of Delaware. That as they had joined themselves to the Susquehanna Indians, who were de- pendent on the Five Nations, they thereby fell also under their protection. That several treaties were held with those amongst the other Indians at different times by this govern- ment ; and from their first coming, they were accounted and treated as our own Indians. That some of their young men, about the year 1727, committed some disorders in this pro- vince, and though the government had fully forgiven thein for these outrages, yet, being on that account threatened by and therefore afraid of the Six Nations, they removed to the Ohio river in the year 1728 or 1729, and, there soon after, put themselves under the protection of the French, who re- ceived them as their children. That messages were sent from this government to them to return to us; and applica- tions were made to the Six Nations to interpose and prevail on them to do so. And the better to induce and encourage them to leave the French, a large tract of land was offered them on the west side of Susquehanna, where they had been settled before, and they were desired by all means to return thither. That the Proprietary Thomas Penn, upon his ar- rival in the year 1732, again pressed them to return and live on this land, which he promised should be always kept for them, and their children, if they would come and live upon it ; but they declined it, saying, they were afraid of their enemies, the Tuteloes, and that it was not convenient for their hunting, but desired that the land might be kept for them, which it has ever since been.
But we find the Assembly are mistaken in their said se- cond message, in saying, That part of the said large tract was surveyed into the Proprietary Manor on Cono loguinette ; for the fact was, that in order the more effectually to keep off any other settlers on the large tract, the proprietaries caused the whole of it to be surveyed as a Proprietory Ma- nor. And in looking into many of the Proprietory Indian purchases, we find that this land had been bought over and over again by the proprietaries, as well of the Susquehanna Indians as of the Six Nations to whom it did helong.
We thought proper to report these matters thus particu- larly, that it might appear evident that the Shawanese did not originally belong to this province, and never had any right to any lands in it, or made any pretentions thereto,
356

but that the proprietories, from favor, and to encourage those Indians to remove from the neighborhood of the French, and live among us, offered them the said lands for their habitations."

The influx of immigrants into North or Kittatinny Valley increased fast after 1734. In 1748 the numberof taxables was about 800, and the population rising of 3000. As early as 1735, a road was laid out from Harris's Ferry, towards the Potomac river. Nov. 4 1735, the court at Lancaster, ap- pointed Randle Chambers, Jacob Peat, James Silvers, Thos. Eastland, John Lawrence and Abrm. Endless, to lay out said road. These gentlemen made report Feb. 3, 1736, of their view of the road, which was opposed " by a considerable number of inhabitants on the west side of Susquehanna in those parts," and praying for a review. The court then or- dered that William Rennick, Richard Hough, James Arm- strong, Thos. Mayes, Sam. Montgomery and Benj. Cham- bers, view the road and to make such alterations in it, as to them may seem necessary for the public good, and report their proceeding to next court.
358

They made the following report, May 4, 1736 :
" That they had reviewed the easternmost part of the said road, and find it very crooked and hurtful to the inhabitants, &c., and therefore have altered the said road, and marked it in the manner following, to wit : From the said Ferry, near to a southwest course about two miles, thence a westerly course to James Silvers' then westward to John Hog's mea- dow, then westward to a fording place, on Letort's spring, a little to the northward of John Davison's thence west north- erly to the first marked road in a certain hollow, thence about southwest, a little to the south of Robert Duning's, to the former marked road, thence along the same to the Great Spring head, being as far as any review or alteration to thern appeared necessary, which so altered as above said, and al- tered from the return to go by James Silver's house, was al- lowed to be recorded.
In 1735, the North Valley, (now Cumberland and Frank- lin) was divided into two townships, Pennsborough & Hope- well. The dividing line between the townships is thus de- fined in the court records, " That a line running northerly from the Hills to the southward of Yellow Breeches (cross- ing in a direct line by the Great Spring) to Kightotinning mountain, by the division line; and that the easternmost town- ship be called Pennsborough, and the western Hopewell."
Hopewell was divided in 1741, " by a line beginning at the North Hill, at Benj. Moor's, thence to widow Hew- res's and Samuel Jamison's, and on a straight line to the South Hill, and that the western division be called Antrim, and the eastern Hopewell."
The following, exhibits the names of townships organized, and tax paid prior to the erection of Cumberland county, in the North Valley, from 1736 to 1749.
