Hmmmmmmm? Part of the money was used for purchasing horses and supplies for removal of those migrating, another part was used for purchasing lands in NY. June 1803, Sacaruse and Longboard led more Tuscaroras northward.

Jeremiah Slade of Martin County, NC was given power of attorney and left to collect the rents.

The NC Archives has a map of the land allotted to the Tuscarora Nation of Indians in NC. This Act was of the NC General Assembly of 1748. Surveyed in 1803 by W.H. Boyce.

It is important to note and pay attention to the fact that the law allowed the Tuscaroras to lease their undemised land and to E X T E N D old leases. They were expire in 1916. The land was then to revert to the state. The law "provided" a C O M M I S S I O N in NC of 3 to represent the best interests of the state. Jermiah Slade, William Hawkins and Colonel John Binford was it.
