﻿HISTORY 
  OF 
  THE 
  NEW 
  YORK 
  IROQUOIS 
  37I 
  

  

  crossed 
  Oneida 
  lake 
  on 
  the 
  ice, 
  but 
  the 
  Indian 
  guides 
  lost 
  their 
  

   way 
  and 
  the 
  attempt 
  failed. 
  

  

  Captain 
  Dalton 
  made 
  an 
  estimate 
  in 
  August 
  of 
  that 
  year 
  of 
  the 
  

   number 
  of 
  Indians 
  employed 
  on 
  the 
  British 
  side 
  in 
  the 
  war. 
  Of 
  

   the 
  New 
  York 
  Iroquois 
  there 
  were 
  300 
  Mohawks, 
  150 
  Oneidas, 
  

   200 
  Tuscaroras, 
  200 
  Onondagas, 
  230 
  Cayugas 
  and 
  400 
  Senecas, 
  

   or 
  1480 
  in 
  all. 
  While 
  some 
  of 
  these 
  estimates 
  are 
  high, 
  that 
  of 
  

   the 
  Senecas 
  is 
  too 
  low.

  Peace 
  was 
  proclaimed 
  in 
  1783, 
  but 
  Great 
  Britain 
  made 
  no 
  terms 
  

   for 
  her 
  Indian 
  allies, 
  nor 
  were 
  they 
  secured 
  in 
  their 
  lands 
  included 
  

   in 
  the 
  boundaries 
  of 
  the 
  United 
  States. 
  The 
  Mohawks 
  had 
  been 
  

   promised 
  better 
  treatment. 
  They 
  remained 
  awhile 
  on 
  the 
  Ameri- 
  

   can 
  side 
  at 
  Niagara, 
  and 
  the 
  Senecas 
  offered 
  them 
  land 
  in 
  the 
  

   Genesee 
  valley, 
  but 
  they 
  did 
  not 
  wish 
  to 
  remain 
  in 
  New 
  York. 
  

   Governor 
  Haldimand 
  agreed 
  to 
  purchase 
  and 
  convey 
  to 
  them 
  a 
  

   tract 
  on 
  the 
  Bay 
  of 
  Quinte, 
  selected 
  by 
  Brant. 
  The 
  Senecas 
  

   wanted 
  them 
  nearer, 
  and 
  Haldimand 
  was 
  asked 
  to 
  secure 
  them 
  a 
  

   tract 
  of 
  1200 
  square 
  miles, 
  extending 
  6 
  miles 
  on 
  each 
  side 
  of 
  

   Grand 
  river. 
  This 
  was 
  promised 
  and 
  the 
  grant 
  was 
  formally 
  

   made 
  in 
  1784. 
  Brant 
  and 
  some 
  Mohawks 
  moved 
  there; 
  and, 
  

   though 
  much 
  has 
  been 
  sold, 
  portions 
  of 
  all 
  the 
  Six 
  Nations 
  still 
  

   live 
  there 
  under 
  their 
  old 
  laws 
  and 
  with 
  a 
  full 
  corps 
  of 
  chiefs. 
  

  

  A 
  disposition 
  was 
  shown 
  at 
  the 
  end 
  of 
  the 
  war 
  to 
  expel 
  the 
  

   New 
  York 
  Iroquois; 
  but 
  Washington 
  and 
  Schuyler 
  at 
  once 
  

   opposed 
  this, 
  and 
  their 
  desire 
  for 
  a 
  more 
  liberal 
  policy 
  happily 
  

   prevailed. 
  The 
  treaty 
  of 
  Fort 
  Stanwix 
  was 
  held 
  in 
  1784, 
  all 
  the
