  presents. 
  They 
  had 
  allowed 
  the 
  Shawnees 
  to 
  come 
  to 
  Pennsyl- 
  

   vania 
  about 
  1691. 
  The 
  Six 
  Nations 
  had 
  just 
  made 
  an 
  alliance 
  

   with 
  the 
  Miamis 
  and 
  three 
  other 
  western 
  nations, 
  and 
  had 
  also 
  

   forbidden 
  a 
  French 
  trading 
  house 
  on 
  the 
  Ohio. 
  Joncaire 
  was 
  

   again 
  sent 
  to 
  the 
  Senecas, 
  and 
  French 
  medals 
  would 
  be 
  given 
  to 
  

   the 
  chiefs. 
  That 
  year 
  Conrad 
  Weiser 
  and 
  Shikellimy 
  were 
  

   appointed 
  agents 
  between 
  the 
  Six 
  Nations 
  and 
  Pennsylvania. 
  

  

  In 
  1733 
  David 
  A. 
  Schuyler 
  was 
  appointed 
  commissioner 
  at 
  

   Oswego, 
  as 
  understanding 
  Indian 
  trade 
  and 
  language, 
  and 
  Philip 
  

   Schuyler 
  was 
  sent 
  to 
  the 
  Senecas, 
  with 
  £410 
  in 
  presents, 
  to 
  secure 
  

   their 
  friendship. 
  In 
  September 
  there 
  was 
  a 
  conference 
  between 
  

   Governor 
  Cosby 
  and 
  the 
  Six 
  Nations. 
  A 
  Cayuga 
  chief 
  had 
  been 
  

   killed 
  at 
  Oswego 
  Falls. 
  By 
  the 
  white 
  man's 
  law 
  the 
  murderer 
  

   should 
  die, 
  but 
  among 
  Indians 
  the 
  offense 
  might 
  be 
  reconciled 
  

   and 
  forgiven, 
  which 
  they 
  prayed 
  might 
  be 
  done. 
  The 
  Far 
  

   Indians 
  were 
  treacherous 
  and 
  had 
  killed 
  some 
  Oneidas 
  while 
  

   feasting 
  them, 
  just 
  after 
  a 
  treaty 
  of 
  peace. 
  The 
  Shawnees 
  still 
  

   favored 
  the 
  French 
  in 
  spite 
  of 
  Iroquois 
  advice. 
  For 
  the 
  better 
  

   security 
  of 
  the 
  Mohawks, 
  the 
  flats 
  at 
  Fort 
  Hunter 
  were 
  conveyed 
  

   to 
  the 
  king, 
  Nov. 
  4. 
  

  

  June 
  18, 
  Shikellimy 
  came 
  to 
  Philadelphia 
  to 
  tell 
  some 
  bad 
  

   news, 
  and 
  mentioned 
  Margaret, 
  a 
  daughter 
  of 
  Madame 
  Montour. 
  

   He 
  brought 
  complaints 
  and 
  was 
  sent 
  to 
  investigate 
  reports. 
  

  

  In 
  the 
  informal 
  conference 
  at 
  Philadelphia, 
  in 
  September 
  1734, 
  

   there 
  were 
  13 
  Oneidas 
  present 
  and 
  seven 
  Onondagas. 
  Carundo- 
  

   wana, 
  husband 
  of 
  Madame 
  Montour, 
  had 
  been 
  killed 
  by 
  the 
  

   Catawbas. 
  A 
  little 
  later, 
  Hetequantagechty 
  thought 
  a 
  false 
  story 
  

   was 
  " 
  owing 
  to 
  a 
  certain 
  Woman, 
  whose 
  old 
  Age 
  protects 
  her 
  

   from 
  being 
  punished 
  for 
  such 
  Falsehoods 
  ; 
  that 
  in 
  the 
  meantime 
  

   they 
  must 
  resent 
  it 
  and 
  hope 
  to 
  get 
  rid 
  of 
  her." 
  The 
  Shawnees 
  

   had 
  said 
  they 
  would 
  go 
  still 
  farther 
  away, 
  and 
  some 
  of 
  the 
  Iro- 
  

   quois 
  chiefs 
  had 
  gone 
  to 
  speak 
  with 
  them. 
  Five 
  Onondagas 
  were 
  

   at 
  a 
  conference 
  in 
  Philadelphia 
  that 
  year. 
  In 
  October 
  Governor 
  

   de 
  Beauharnois 
  had 
  messages 
  from 
  the 
  Onondagas 
  to 
  clear 
  up 
  

   some 
  matters. 
  

  

  Several 
  Iroquois 
  chiefs 
  went 
  to 
  the 
  Shawnees 
  in 
  1735, 
  to 
  per-
