﻿HISTORY 
  OF

  young 
  men, 
  to 
  keep 
  them 
  quiet. 
  They 
  acceded 
  to 
  the 
  request 
  of 
  

   the 
  Montauks 
  and 
  would 
  settle 
  them 
  at 
  Canowaroghere, 
  now 
  

   Oneida 
  Castle. 
  They 
  received 
  them 
  as 
  children 
  and 
  hoped 
  they 
  

   would 
  prove 
  worthy. 
  

  

  The 
  Cayugas 
  wished 
  no 
  more 
  rum 
  sold 
  in 
  their 
  country. 
  

   Traders 
  might 
  pass 
  through 
  but 
  must 
  not 
  stop. 
  Sir 
  William 
  

   addressed 
  the 
  council 
  on 
  the 
  Shawnees 
  and 
  the 
  Cresap 
  and 
  Logan 
  

   trouble. 
  He 
  was 
  very 
  weak 
  at 
  this 
  time 
  and 
  the 
  fatigue 
  was 
  too 
  

   much. 
  Two 
  hours 
  after 
  the 
  conference, 
  on 
  the 
  nth, 
  he 
  died, 
  

   and 
  he 
  was 
  placed 
  in 
  the 
  family 
  vault 
  at 
  Johnstown 
  July 
  13, 
  1774. 
  

  

  So 
  sudden 
  a 
  loss 
  at 
  so 
  critical 
  a 
  time 
  had 
  a 
  startling 
  effect, 
  and 
  

   the 
  Indians 
  were 
  at 
  once 
  in 
  great 
  doubt 
  and 
  confusion. 
  Swift 
  

   runners 
  were 
  given 
  belts 
  and 
  sent 
  to 
  all 
  the 
  nations 
  to 
  announce 
  

   his 
  death 
  ; 
  but 
  Col. 
  Guy 
  Johnson 
  was 
  equal 
  to 
  the 
  occasion, 
  and 
  

   order 
  was 
  quickly 
  restored. 
  All 
  the 
  Indians 
  remained 
  to 
  attend 
  

   his 
  funeral, 
  with 
  the 
  2000 
  people 
  from 
  the 
  country 
  around. 
  Next 
  

   day 
  the 
  customary 
  ceremony 
  of 
  condolence 
  was 
  performed, 
  and 
  

   the 
  council 
  soon 
  broke 
  up. 
  

  

  The 
  Shawnees 
  and 
  their 
  confederates 
  sent 
  to 
  the 
  western 
  

   Indians 
  to 
  join 
  them 
  against 
  the 
  Virginians, 
  but 
  some 
  refused. 
  

   They 
  applied 
  to 
  the 
  Six 
  Nations 
  at 
  Onondaga, 
  but 
  Guy 
  Johnson 
  

   had 
  messengers 
  there 
  before 
  them, 
  and 
  the 
  Shawnees 
  were 
  told 
  

   not 
  to 
  expect 
  aid, 
  but 
  the 
  Iroquois 
  would 
  soon 
  hold 
  a 
  council 
  

   and 
  take 
  peace 
  measures 
  which 
  all 
  would 
  regard. 
  

  

  In 
  September 
  235 
  Iroquois 
  chiefs 
  and 
  warriors 
  had 
  a 
  confer- 
  

   ence 
  with 
  Guy 
  Johnson, 
  and 
  among 
  these 
  were 
  their 
  best 
  men. 
  

   They 
  went 
  through 
  formal 
  condolences, 
  the 
  Bunt 
  being 
  very 
  elo- 
  

   quent. 
  Teyawarunte, 
  the 
  Onondaga 
  speaker, 
  with 
  three 
  strings 
  

   covered 
  the 
  grave, 
  wiped 
  away 
  tears, 
  removed 
  grief, 
  cleared 
  the 
  

   sky, 
  etc. 
  The 
  Bunt's 
  oldest 
  son 
  produced 
  the 
  several 
  marks 
  of 
  

   Johnson's 
  regard 
  for 
  him, 
  and 
  according 
  to 
  old 
  custom 
  laid 
  them 
  

   down 
  before 
  Colonel 
  Johnson, 
  who 
  restored 
  them. 
  Others 
  did 
  

   the 
  same. 
  They 
  renewed 
  the 
  old 
  covenant 
  chain 
  of 
  21 
  rows, 
  

   and 
  gave 
  Guy 
  Johnson 
  a 
  new 
  name, 
  Uraghquadirha, 
  Rays 
  of 
  

   the 
  Sun 
  enlightening 
  the 
  Earth,
