Indians claim to Susquehanna lands traced from 18th century treaties
The article recounts how Delaware and Five Nations leaders contested and confirmed land rights along the Susquehanna from 1702 to 1754. It details governors and councils at Conestoga, Albany, and Philadelphia, the 1702 deed to Penn, later releases, and the Albany treaty of 1754 that settled the extent east to the water shed and west to the endless hills, covering Lancaster County. It notes repeated satisfaction and renewed claims, and ends with an advertisement for stomach relief product.
