to negotiate with the Iroquois. On September 24, 1664 Colonel 

 Cartwright made a treaty with various "Sachamackas" of the 

 Mohawks and Senecas, in which it was agreed that the Indians 

 were to have all wares and commodities from the English as they 

 had previously from the Dutch; and that offences by English 

 against Indians or vice versa be punished. The treaty was signed 

 for the Senecas by Anaweed, Conkeeherat, Tewasserany, Ash- 

 anoondah. (*l)

Mr. Beauchamp claims two of the four are Cayugas and 

 Onondagas. 



A month later, October 13, 1664, Sir Robert Carr wrote Gov- 

 ernor Nicolls from the "Delawarr Fort" asking him "to assist uss 

 in ye reconciliacon of ye Indians called Synekees at ye Fort Fer- 

 rania and ye Huskchanoes here, they comeing and doeing much 

 vyolence both to heathen and christian". This refers very evi- 

 dently to the war with the Andastes or Susquehannocks which 

 was then in operation. 



In December, 1665, a treaty of peace was made between 

 Alexander de Prouville, Chevalier Seigneur de Tracy, who was 

 newly appointed governor of New France, and six Onondaga 

 chiefs, who signed it on behalf of the three upper cantons of Iro- 

 quois, viz.: the Senecas, Cayugas and Onondagas. This treaty 

 was arranged by Garakontie, a noted Onondaga, and was the re- 

 sult of the alarm felt by the Iroquois at the preparations made by 

 de Tracy to invade their country. The Iroquois humbly begged 

 forgiveness and asked for two Jesuits and some French families 

 and promised to make peace with the Algonkin and Huron allies 

 of the French. (*2)
