﻿HISTORY 
  OF 
  THE 
  NEW 
  YORK 
  IROQUOIS 
  267 
  

  

  caire 
  was 
  sent 
  as 
  best 
  qualified 
  to 
  prevent 
  the 
  building 
  of 
  the 
  

   English 
  house. 
  The 
  Indians, 
  however, 
  still 
  traded 
  at 
  Albany, 
  

   not 
  finding 
  good 
  clothes 
  at 
  Niagara. 
  In 
  the 
  early 
  part 
  of 
  Gov- 
  

   ernor 
  Hunter's 
  administration, 
  the 
  Palatines 
  had 
  come 
  to 
  New 
  

   York 
  ; 
  and 
  he 
  closed 
  his 
  term 
  with 
  a 
  warning. 
  If 
  war 
  should 
  

   come 
  with 
  the 
  Five 
  Nations, 
  " 
  the 
  best 
  part 
  of 
  the 
  province 
  will 
  

   certainly 
  be 
  ruined." 
  

  

  The 
  Mission 
  of 
  the 
  Mountain 
  had 
  been 
  for 
  nearly 
  20 
  years 
  at 
  

   the 
  Sault 
  au 
  Recollect, 
  near 
  Montreal, 
  but 
  in 
  1720 
  it 
  was 
  removed 
  

   to 
  the 
  Lake 
  of 
  the 
  Two 
  Mountains, 
  at 
  the 
  end 
  of 
  the 
  island. 
  

   The 
  Indians 
  of 
  this 
  and 
  Caughnawaga 
  were 
  hostile 
  to 
  New 
  Eng- 
  

   land, 
  and 
  there 
  are 
  yet 
  descendants 
  of 
  their 
  English 
  prisoners 
  

   there 
  and 
  at 
  St 
  Regis. 
  Some 
  went 
  west, 
  and 
  a 
  new 
  Caughna- 
  

   waga 
  arose 
  on 
  the 
  Muskingum. 
  

  

  By 
  conquest 
  much 
  of 
  Pennsylvania 
  belonged 
  to 
  the 
  Iroquois, 
  

   and 
  this 
  claim 
  they 
  had 
  before 
  asserted, 
  while 
  assenting 
  to 
  some 
  

   early 
  acts. 
  In 
  1720 
  the 
  Six 
  Nations, 
  as 
  they 
  were 
  now 
  often 
  

   called, 
  were 
  dissatisfied 
  with 
  the 
  increasing 
  settlements 
  on 
  the 
  

   Susquehanna, 
  to 
  which 
  the 
  Cayugas 
  made 
  special 
  claim. 
  About 
  

   1700 
  Governor 
  Penn 
  had 
  bought 
  some 
  of 
  these 
  lands 
  of 
  the 
  

   Conestogas, 
  and 
  the 
  Five 
  Nations 
  afterward 
  assented 
  to 
  this. 
  

   Another 
  amicable 
  settlement 
  came 
  later, 
  but 
  other 
  claims 
  led 
  to 
  

   many 
  councils 
  and 
  much 
  intercourse 
  between 
  Philadelphia 
  and 
  

   Onondaga. 
  The 
  usual 
  route 
  was 
  by 
  the 
  Susquehanna. 
  

  

  In 
  1721 
  it 
  was 
  stated 
  that 
  De 
  Longueuil 
  had 
  been 
  adopted 
  by 
  

   the 
  Onondagas, 
  his 
  family 
  being 
  also 
  of 
  that 
  nation. 
  Joncaire 
  

   was 
  an 
  adopted 
  Seneca, 
  and 
  so 
  both 
  were 
  commonly 
  in 
  the 
  Iro- 
  

   quois 
  towns. 
  Governor 
  Burnet 
  heard 
  that 
  the 
  Senecas 
  were 
  

   growing- 
  cold 
  toward 
  them. 
  That 
  year 
  Joncaire, 
  Longueuil 
  and 
  

   Chauvignerie 
  went 
  to 
  the 
  Senecas, 
  thanking 
  them 
  for 
  their 
  good 
  

   will 
  and 
  asking 
  them 
  to 
  go 
  to 
  Onondaga 
  and 
  call 
  a 
  council, 
  to 
  

   refuse 
  the 
  English 
  passage 
  if 
  they 
  came 
  to 
  destroy 
  the 
  fort. 
  The 
  

   Senecas 
  were 
  divided 
  on 
  this, 
  the 
  fort 
  not 
  being 
  on 
  their 
  original 
  

   land. 
  June 
  20, 
  John 
  Durant, 
  a 
  French 
  chaplain, 
  met 
  Joncaire 
  

   at 
  Oswego, 
  returning 
  from 
  Onondaga. 
  He 
  said 
  he 
  had 
  beaten 
  

   the 
  bush 
  and 
  De 
  Longueuil 
  would 
  take 
  the 
  birds.

  day
