  Governor 
  Burnet 
  got 
  £300 
  from 
  New 
  York 
  for 
  building 
  a 
  fort 
  

   at 
  Oswego 
  and 
  commenced 
  it 
  in 
  the 
  spring 
  of 
  1727. 
  Being 
  

   advised 
  that 
  the 
  French 
  might 
  interfere, 
  he 
  sent 
  60 
  soldiers, 
  there 
  

   being 
  already 
  200 
  traders 
  there, 
  besides 
  workmen. 
  The 
  perma- 
  

   nent 
  garrison 
  would 
  be 
  an 
  officer 
  and 
  20 
  men. 
  The 
  stone 
  walls 
  

   were 
  4 
  feet 
  thick, 
  and 
  it 
  was 
  finished 
  in 
  August. 
  The 
  French 
  

   sent 
  a 
  summons 
  to 
  have 
  it 
  destroyed 
  and 
  abandoned 
  within 
  15 
  

   days, 
  but 
  the 
  matter 
  was 
  referred 
  to 
  the 
  two 
  crowns. 
  The 
  regu- 
  

   lations 
  there 
  about 
  Indian 
  trade 
  were 
  good 
  and 
  strict. 
  

  

  In 
  1726 
  the 
  Iroquois 
  made 
  some 
  trouble 
  in 
  the 
  south, 
  and 
  the 
  

   next 
  year 
  there 
  was 
  a 
  conference 
  at 
  Philadelphia, 
  attended 
  mostly 
  

   by 
  Cayugas. 
  who 
  talked 
  of 
  their 
  Susquehanna 
  lands 
  and 
  offered 
  

   to 
  sell. 
  The 
  Shawnees 
  and 
  Delawares 
  were 
  told 
  that 
  the 
  Five 
  

   Nations 
  would 
  put 
  petticoats 
  on 
  them 
  and 
  look 
  on 
  them 
  as 
  

   women. 
  They 
  had 
  been 
  so 
  called 
  years 
  before, 
  but 
  in 
  a 
  less 
  

   decided 
  way. 
  

  

  In 
  1728 
  the 
  Oneida 
  chief 
  Ungquaterughiathe, 
  or 
  Swatana, 
  

   better 
  known 
  by 
  his 
  Delaware 
  name 
  of 
  Shikellimy. 
  was 
  sent 
  to 
  

   Pennsylvania 
  to 
  reside 
  there 
  as 
  a 
  kind 
  of 
  viceroy 
  over 
  all 
  the 
  

   Indians 
  on 
  the 
  Susquehanna 
  in 
  that 
  province. 
  He 
  was 
  the 
  father 
  

   of 
  the 
  celebrated 
  Logan 
  ; 
  but 
  having 
  married 
  a 
  Cayuga, 
  his 
  

   children 
  were 
  all 
  of 
  that 
  nation. 
  In 
  virtue 
  of 
  his 
  office 
  he 
  repre- 
  

   sented 
  the 
  Iroquois 
  in 
  a 
  Pennsylvania 
  council 
  in 
  1728, 
  but 
  took 
  

   no 
  part. 
  The 
  celebrated 
  Madame 
  Montour 
  was 
  an 
  interpreter 
  

   at 
  that 
  time, 
  being 
  then 
  the 
  wife, 
  but 
  soon 
  the 
  widow 
  of 
  Robert 
  

   Hunter, 
  or 
  Carundowana, 
  another 
  Oneida 
  chief. 
  Her 
  first 
  hus- 
  

   band 
  was 
  a 
  Seneca 
  named 
  Roland 
  Montour. 
  She 
  was 
  then 
  called 
  

   "a 
  French 
  woman, 
  who 
  had 
  lived 
  long 
  among 
  these 
  People." 
  

   and 
  was 
  always 
  represented 
  as 
  of 
  unmixed 
  blood. 
  That 
  year 
  she 
  

   told 
  an 
  alarming 
  story, 
  which 
  came 
  from 
  her 
  sister, 
  married 
  and 
  

   living 
  among 
  the 
  Miamis. 
  that 
  the 
  Five 
  Nations 
  had 
  asked 
  the 
  

   Miamis 
  to 
  take 
  the 
  hatchet 
  against 
  the 
  English.
