Oneidas Cede Land to NY (by Teresa Morris)
This is a message posted at the Tuscaroras.com discussion forum by Teresa Morris on February 26, 1998.
I'm talking
about in
1785....This goes with all the other today's posts. Read them in order of
posting.
Follow them in order.
I'm putting this out here and typing this in for those of you having
problems accessing NC
background information and because some of you have contacted me for
information. There
is a paper trail.
Hope this helps. I am tired of keying this in and my eyes are about to
cross but what the heck,
I'll rest better knowing you have it.
Those of you that couldn't give a flying flip about the Tuscarora
Migration, Tuscarora War,
etc.,and just want to shoot the bull, chit chat...no sweat...this is not
for you...so just clic off.
(this one)
With the westward bug moving in to check out what lies beyond the bend,
the Oneidas at Ft.
Harkimer ceded to NY State their lands. This also included the land the
Tuscarora was on
when they 1st migrated from NC.
A new Tuscarora Village around 1820 was settled along the Niagara River.
Some were at
Grand River in Canada, some were at Oneida and others in NC.
