Treaty and purchase of 1755.—November 24, 1755, a further treaty was

lina. By its terms the former ceded to Great Britain a territory which 
included the limits of the modern districts of Abbeville, Edgefield, 
Laurens, Union, Spartanburg, Newberry, Chester, Fairfield, Richland, 
and York, and deeds of conveyance were drawn up and formally exe- 
cuted therefor.2 This cession included a tract of country between the 
Broad and Catawba Rivers which was also claimed and generally con- 
ceded to belong to the Catawba Nation, the boundary line between the 
latter and the Cherokees being usually fixed as the Broad River.’ One 
of the main objects of this treaty was to prevent an alliance between 
the Cherokees and the French. 
Treaty of 1756.—In the year 1756 Hugh Waddell was commissioned

erected a chain of military posts on the frontiers of his recent purchase. 
These consisted of Fort Prince George, on the Savannah, within gun- 
shot of the Indian town of Keowee; Fort Moore, 170 miles farther 
down the river; and Fort London, on the south bank of Tennessee 
River, at the highest point of navigation, at the mouth of Tellico River.®
