      said Natives are unable to improve, lying on our reserve
      commonly call The Chedenango (alias Chittelingo) above the main

      Also a memorandum in the following words, annex'd to the above.
      By order of the Sachems, Chiefs & Warriors of the Onida Nation

      leased of the Onidas all the lands mentioned in the within
      lease for themselves & the following mentioned persons /viz./
      Peter Marsh, Gerrit Van Slyck, David Schuyler Jun., Hezekiah
      Olcott & Jacob Rice & not inserting the five last mentioned
      persons in this lease is by reason. That the said Joseph Mabee
      & Jacob Schuyler became sureties for said rent within mentioned
      lease. And said lease is to comprehend the Chedenanka &
      Tuscarora lands. I do further certify that myself & the Chiefs
      of our tribe & our surveyor attended at Canasaroga to measure
      the said lands as in said lease mentioned That the said
      mentioned persons were actually improving the said lands & the
      said parties desired us to put off the measurement of said
      lands, being one hundred acres to each, until a final
      settlement with our tribe & the State of New York should take
      place; and no other person has any rights from us to claim by
      lease or improvement any lands lying between Chedenanka & the
      Military line.
      December 7, 1795 By order of the Sachems & Warriors of our
      tribe. (signed) Jacob Reed

      Herkimer County
      Peter Marsh & Gerrit Van Slyke (now resident on Onida
      Reservation) being duly sworn, depose & say that they were
      present & saw Jacob Reed subscribe the last mentioned
      Certificate on the 7th day of December instant, & at the same
      time heard the said Jacob Reed acknowledge that he had on
      behalf of the Onida Nation given & entered into the foregoing
      agreement or lease to & with the above named Joseph Mabee &
      Jacob Schuyler and the deponents further say that the said
      agreement as aforesaid was made by the consent & approbation of
      the Onida Nation of Indians, as they have often heard sundry of
      the same Nation confess & acknowledge; particularly the said
      Peter Marsh says that early in the month of April last past,
      Schenando, Ludwick, Anthony, Jacob Dackstedder, John Denny &
      some others of the Chiefs of the said Nation, together with a
      surveyor called upon the persons in the said lease or agreement
      mentioned at their houses & offered & proposed to survey off
      the said tract to the said persons, but the survey was
      postponed for the reasons in the foregoing certificate of John
      Reed mentioned. These Deponents further say that the above
      named Joseph Mabee was actually resident on the said tract of
      land (between the Chittelingo & the Military Tract of lands) on
      the first of July 1794 & has occupied & improved thereon to
      this time by the consent of the said Onida Nation. And these
      Deponents further say that the said Jacob Schuyler, David
      Schuyler Jun. & the said Peter & Gerrit occupied & improved the
      said described piece of land before & on the first day of
      January last past, & by the consent & approbation of the Onida
      Nation and also that they are all of full age & have families
      except the said David Schuyler Jun. But whether the dwelling
      houses of the said persons (except the said Joseph Mabee) are
      situated on the tract lately purchased of the Onida Nation,
      these Deponents are ignorant, the line between the said tract &
      Hardenburgh's location not being ascertained, & the houses
      standing near the same. Conrad Klock, (resident on the Onida
      Reservation) being duly sworn, says that the above named
      persons have occupied & improved the tract of land above
      described for more than one year last past by the consent &
      approbation of the Onida Nation, as he verily believes.
