Tuscarora Move Rejected Sparks 18th Century War
Tuscarora chiefs asked Pennsylvania on June 8 1710 to relocate from North Carolina and settle in Pennsylvania but was refused. Within a year North Carolina faced the Tuscarora War with heavy losses on both sides due to slave trade and violence. Representatives met near the Susquehanna in Lancaster County with Henry Worley and John Ffrench.
