Between the contract of Sept. 15, 1797, with Robert Jloi'ris, establishing the 

 Tonawauda reservation, and this treaty of Jan. 15, 1838, the area of this 

 reserve was rednced. by arrangement with the state of New York, from 71 

 siiuare miles to 12,800 acres. This latter area was the quantity purchased 

 by Ogdeu and Fellows. It is within the limits of the original reserve, and 

 its boundaries are colored red. For the subsotiueut history of this reserve, 

 see note to treaty of Nov. 5, 1857, in this schedule. 



The Tuskarora removed in 1780 from Oneida and settled on the site of this 

 reserve. Here the Seneka gave them 1 square mile of land, commonly 

 known as the Seneka grant. It was intended to be numbered among the res- 

 ervations retained by the Indians in the treaty and contract of Sept. 15, 1797, 

 with Kobert Jlorris, but was inadvertently omitted. The Holland Land 

 Company, however (as grantees of Robert Morris), not only recognized the 

 title of the Tuskarora, but gave them 2 square miles adjoining. These 3 

 square miles constitute the reserve as shown on the map. Subsei(uent to 

 1804: the Tuskarora, having sold their lands in North Carolina, purchased 

 from Henry Dearborn with the proceeds thereof 4,329 acres additional and 

 adjoining their reserve. The boundaries of this addition have not been 

 obtained, though it adjoius the 3-8(|uare mile tract on the S. and K. They 

 still occupy the reserve in spite of the conveyance to Ogdeu and Fellows by 

 this treaty. It overlajis on the 4-mile strip ceded to the British by the Six 

 Nations in 17(55. 



This is simply a reiteration on the part of the Green Bay Oneida of the cession 

 made by the New York Indians by treaty of Jan. 15, 1838.
