  Some 
  Tuscarora 
  chiefs 
  went 
  to 
  North 
  Carolina 
  in 
  the 
  spring 
  

   of 
  1766, 
  with 
  an 
  interpreter, 
  and 
  brought 
  thence 
  160 
  of 
  their 
  

   people. 
  Some 
  came 
  the 
  following 
  winter 
  and 
  were 
  alarmed 
  at 
  

   the 
  deep 
  snow. 
  They 
  brought 
  certificates 
  of 
  good 
  behavior 
  from 
  

   the 
  magistrates 
  of 
  all 
  the 
  districts 
  through 
  which 
  they 
  passed, 
  

   but 
  their 
  lives 
  were 
  in 
  danger 
  from 
  lawless 
  people, 
  so 
  that 
  they 
  

   had 
  to 
  be 
  protected. 
  The 
  worst 
  place 
  was 
  Paxton 
  Pa., 
  where 
  

   they 
  were 
  robbed 
  of 
  several 
  horses, 
  and 
  they 
  complained 
  to 
  John- 
  

   son. 
  Some 
  stopped 
  for 
  a 
  time 
  at 
  Shamokin 
  and 
  Wyalusing 
  on 
  

   the 
  Susquehanna. 
  That 
  year 
  Zeisberger 
  made 
  his 
  last 
  visits 
  

   to 
  Onondaga 
  and 
  Cayuga, 
  obtaining 
  a 
  grant 
  of 
  land 
  for 
  the 
  

   Moravian 
  Indians 
  at 
  and 
  above 
  Wyalusing. 
  

  

  At 
  this 
  time 
  Johnson 
  applied 
  for 
  the 
  tract 
  afterward 
  called 
  the 
  

   Royal 
  Grant, 
  north 
  of 
  the 
  Mohawk 
  and 
  near 
  Canajoharie. 
  He 
  

   said 
  he 
  had 
  obtained 
  but 
  a 
  small 
  amount 
  of 
  Indian 
  land 
  and 
  had 
  

   paid 
  full 
  value 
  for 
  all. 
  This 
  would 
  seem 
  to 
  dispose 
  of 
  his 
  " 
  dream- 
  

   ing 
  " 
  with 
  Hendrick, 
  even 
  if 
  this 
  were 
  not 
  in 
  itself 
  improbable, 
  

   Hendrick 
  having 
  no 
  personal 
  power 
  to 
  give 
  or 
  sell 
  land. 
  That 
  

   belonged 
  to 
  the 
  Council 
  or 
  individual 
  owners, 
  usually 
  requiring 
  

   the 
  assent 
  of 
  the 
  three 
  clans. 
  There 
  is, 
  however, 
  a 
  legal 
  refer- 
  

   ence 
  to 
  the 
  " 
  dreamland 
  " 
  purchase, 
  as 
  it 
  was 
  sometimes 
  called. 
  

  

  In 
  May 
  1767 
  Johnson 
  had 
  a 
  council 
  with 
  the 
  Six 
  Nations 
  at 
  

   German 
  Flats, 
  at 
  the 
  request 
  of 
  Pennsylvania 
  and 
  Maryland, 
  to 
  

   get 
  their 
  consent 
  to 
  running 
  the 
  division 
  line 
  of 
  these 
  colonies 
  

   over 
  the 
  Allegheny 
  mountains. 
  He 
  effected 
  this. 
  The 
  Iroquois 
  

   also 
  agreed 
  to 
  make 
  peace 
  with 
  the 
  Cherokees 
  when 
  their 
  deputies 
  

   arrived. 
  He 
  wrote 
  of 
  several 
  matters 
  at 
  this 
  time.
