Many a tall harvest have I seen growing upon the ground; but never did I look upon its waving luxuriance without thinking of the severe trials, the patient fortitude, the high courage which characterized the early settlers. '* The prisoners were surrendered by the Indians to the British in Canada. The beauty and misfortune of the Misses H attracted attention; and an English officer--perhaps moved by beauty in distress to love her for the dangers she had passed--wooed and won the fair and gentle Marian. After the peace of '83 the rest of the captives were delivered up, and returned to their country." [NO. XXVIII.] WASHINGTON COUNTY. . . .Washington county was erected by an act passed March 28, 1781, and was then bounded as follows: " Beginning at the junction of the Monongahela and Ohio rivers; thence up the Monongahela river aforesaid, to the line run by Mason and Dixon; thence by the said line dye west, to the end thereof; and from thence the same course, to the end of five degrees west longitude, computed from the river Delaware; thence by a meridian line extended north, until the same intersect the Ohio river; and thence by the same to the place of beginning; (the said lines, from the end of Mason and Dixon's line to the Ohio river, to be understood as to be hereafter ascertained by commissioners now appointed, or to be appointed for that purpose)." The limits of this county were reduced by erecting Allegheny in 1788, subsequently by adding another portion of this county to Allegheny, in 1789, and erecting Greene in 1796, and Beaver in 1800, and by altering the lines between Washington and Greene in 1802. By the act erecting this county, James Edgar, Hugh Scott, Van Swearingham, Daniel Lite and John Armstrong, were...

The Western Delaware Indian Nation, 1730–1795

Book Description
During the early eighteenth century, three phratries or tribes (Turtle, Turkey, and Wolf) of Delaware Indians left their traditional homeland in the Delaware River watershed and moved west to the Allegheny Valley of western Pennsylvania and eventually across the Ohio River into the Muskingum River valley. As newcomers to the colonial American borderlands, these bands of Delawares detached themselves from their past in the east, developed a sense of common cause, and created for themselves a new regional identity in western Pennsylvania. The Western Delaware Indian Nation, 1730-1795: Warriors and Diplomats is a case study of the western Delaware Indian experience, offering critical insight into the dynamics of Native American migrations to new environments and the process of reconstructing social and political systems to adjust to new circumstances. The Ohio backcountry brought to center stage the masculine activities of hunting, trade, war-making, diplomacy and was instrumental in the transformation of Delaware society and with that change, the advance of a western Delaware nation. This nation, however, was forged in a time of insecurity as it faced the turmoil of imperial conflict during the Seven Years' War and the backcountry racial violence brought about by the American Revolution. The stress of factionalism in the council house among Delaware leaders such as Tamaqua, White Eyes, Killbuck, and Captain Pipe constantly undermined the stability of a lasting political western Delaware nation. This narrative of western Delaware nationhood is a story of the fight for independence and regional unity and the futile effort to create and maintain an enduring nation. In the end the western Delaware nation became fragmented and forced as in the past, to journey west in search of a new beginning. The Western Delaware Indian Nation, 1730-1795: Warriors and Diplomats is an account of an Indian people and their dramatic and arduous struggle for autonomy, identity, political union, and a permanent homeland.
