  In

  and 
  preaching

  when 
  the

   of 
  the 
  French 
  Indians 
  obliged 
  him 
  to 
  leave. 
  

  

  Peace 
  having 
  come, 
  the 
  Honorable 
  Scotch 
  Commissioners, 
  in 
  

   and 
  near 
  Boston, 
  in 
  1761 
  conceived 
  the 
  idea 
  of 
  educating 
  Indian 
  

   youths 
  from 
  a 
  distance. 
  They 
  sent 
  an 
  Indian, 
  David 
  Fowler, 
  

   who 
  was 
  going 
  on 
  a 
  mission

  who 
  approved 
  his 
  plan 
  of 
  learning 
  

   the 
  Mohawk 
  language. 
  

  

  There 
  was 
  a 
  council 
  at 
  Easton 
  Aug.

  1761, 
  with 
  Onondagas, 
  

   Oneidas. 
  Cayugas 
  and 
  their 
  allies, 
  Seneca 
  George 
  of 
  Otsiningo 
  

   being 
  the 
  principal 
  speaker. 
  Conrad 
  Weiser 
  was 
  dead, 
  and 
  they 
  

   chose 
  his 
  son 
  Samuel 
  as 
  his 
  successor. 
  A 
  Conoy 
  chief, 
  called 
  

   Last 
  Night, 
  said 
  : 
  

  

  I 
  would 
  acquaint 
  You 
  that 
  the 
  Chief 
  of 
  the 
  Mohickons 
  & 
  Opies 
  

   have 
  settled 
  with 
  the 
  Six 
  Nations 
  at 
  a 
  place 
  called 
  Chenango, 
  

   where 
  you 
  may 
  always 
  find 
  them 
  if 
  you 
  should 
  have 
  occasion 
  to 
  

   speak 
  to 
  them. 
  

  

  In 
  1762 
  there 
  were 
  meetings 
  about 
  surrendering 
  prisoners. 
  

   Some 
  of 
  the 
  Iroquois 
  had 
  been 
  hostile 
  to 
  the 
  English 
  in 
  the 
  Dela- 
  

   ware 
  war. 
  but 
  at 
  last 
  a 
  full 
  treaty 
  of 
  peace 
  was 
  made. 
  There 
  

   was 
  a 
  conference 
  at 
  Philadelphia 
  Mar. 
  30. 
  with 
  21 
  Cayugas. 
  who 
  

   reported 
  a 
  council 
  held 
  at 
  Onondaga 
  about 
  these 
  prisoners, 
  but 
  

   the 
  Senecas 
  were 
  dilatory. 
  A 
  general 
  council 
  met 
  at 
  Lancaster 
  

   in 
  August, 
  and 
  17 
  English 
  prisoners 
  were 
  returned. 
  There 
  would 
  

   have 
  been 
  more, 
  but 
  some 
  had 
  been 
  claimed 
  and 
  given 
  up 
  on 
  the
