10 THE RALEIGH DAILVj TIMES: SATURDAY, APRIL 15, 1911. Its Stirj cf Chris cf t&e Tcscaroras. . i v (Continued From Page Nine.) : The general assembly of 1802 (Martin's Laws, chapter 4, page 194) passed "An act for the relief, of the f Tuscarora nation of Indians." This act authorized the chiefs to lease the lands and extend leases . already made,, which leases were to be con firmed by an act of the general as sembly in such manner that the whole of the leases on said land should terminate at the same period. (After the Jones-Williams-Pugh lease v for 150 years, subsequent leases had been made for 99 years.) The act authorized the governor to appoint commissioners for carrying the act Into effect. The act futher recites that "Whereas the chiefs, Sacarusa and Longboard. and Samuel Smith, being duly and severally authorized and empowered by said Tuscarora nation, have consented that the In dian claim to the use, possession, and occupancy of said lands shall cease and be extinguished when the said lease made in the year 1766 to Rob ert Jones and others shall expire: Be it further enacted, That from and after the 12th day of July which shall fall in the year 1916, the whole of the lands allotted to the said Tus carora Indians by an act of the gen eral assembly passed at New Bern on the 15th day of October in the year of our Lord, one thousand seven hundred and forty-eight, shall revert to and become the property1 of the state, and the Indian claim thereto, shall from that time be held and deemed forever extinguished." Sec tion six of this act relates to entries and rights of individuals. Under this act the governor appointed commis sioners to lease and sell these lands. On the part of these commission ers, Jeremiah Slade and William Hawkins made a report to Governor James Turner, dated June 20, 1 8 0 :$ . This report can be found in the gov ernor's letter book, for that year at page 80, and is too long to copy here. Tbn commissioners acted in co-oepration with Chiefs Sacarusa and Longboard. They sold the lands, or the undemised portions of them, which amounted to less than 4,000 acres, for 121,146.23. Settlement for these lands was made with the secretary of war. A map of the Indian land, dated June 17, 1803, was made by these commissioners, showing an area of 41,113 acres, and showing the var ious leases, with lengths of term and filed in this office, which can be ex hibited to interested parties. The metes and bounds of the map are as follows: "Beginning on Roneoke River at the . mouth of QuHsney Swamp thence up the various courses of the said swamp to an oak near the head at the great spring; thence No. .10 E 904 poles to a posseman on Rock- quis Swamp, thence N. 57 W. 2888 poles to a hickory at the head of Fall ing Run or Deep Creek, thence down the various courses of said creek to Roneoke River, thence ' down the river to the first station, containing forty-one thousand one hundred and thirteen acres." ; The report, map, and papers ac companying them are unique and in teresting documents. All the acts in reference to the Tuscarora Indian lands provided that the reversions after the expiration of the leases in 1916 should be vested In the state. ; In 1816 the supreme court of North Carolina held ,in the case of Sacarusa and Longboard against Wil liam King's heirs, that the grant made by Governor Eden in 1717 to the Tuscarora tribe of Indians was absolute and unconditional, and that the Indians had a fee-simple right to the lands, and not an "Indian title." (See supreme court reports of North Caorlina, vol. 4, p. 316.) In 1825 the general assembly pass ed an act, chapter 13, page 13, en titled 'An act concerning the lands held in leases from the Tuscarora tribe of Indians." The preamble of the act stated that persons holding these leases were subject to great in convenience from their estates "being mere chattel interest," and for the remedy thereof the general assembly enacted a law declaring that the land should be considered as real estate In fee simple for the term of their leases, but "Provided, that nothing in this act shall be so construed as to give to the individuals holding the said terms of years a right to enjoy the same for a longer period than is designated in the leases executed by the Tuscarora Indians," On November 12, 1828, P. B. Por ter, secretary of war, notified Gover nor James Iredell that Sacarus and Longboard. two principal Tuscarora chiefs, with the grandson of the for mer, were on their way to North Carolina "for the purpose of adjust ing some claim which 'that nation supposes Itself to have on lands with in your state, from which they for merly emigrated." He further says: "I feel confident they will receive from your excellency and the other constituted authorities of North Car olina that consideration which Is due to ft people who have no other, means ot enforcing their rights, . than the xaorel obllgaUoj ,hifth s,uch, rights S'heu estgbijghed. impose.." See go ernor's fetter Book, '182S, page 160.) On November 26,-1828, Governor Iredell transmitted to the general as sembly a memorial from the chiefs ot the Tuscarora nation. This me morial was referred to a special com mittee of the house and senate, and the report of that committee,-signed by George E. Sprulll, chairman, is to be found in the journal of the gen eral assembly of North Carolina, be ginning at page 275. Acting upon that memorial and report the general assembly (see Laws of N. C, session 1828-'29, chapter 19, page 11) pass ed "An act concerning the lands for merly occupied by the Tuscarora tribe of Indians lying in Bertie on the south side of Roanoke River." This act recited that "Whereas the Tuskarora Indians have for more than a century been the firm and un deviating friends of the white people of this country, insomuch that , the State of North Carolina is disposed not only to render to them full and complete justice, but also to exercise towards them that spirit of generos ity which their conduct has merited, therefore, etc." In this act William R. Smith, of Halifax, Simmons J. Baker of Martin, and William Brit tain of Bertie, were appointed com missioners for the purpose of adver tising and selling these lands. ".The title so sold by the said commission ers shall be understood to extend only to the reversion of the state in said lands after the expiration of the leases of the Indians from which ttiey are now held." The public treasurer was to collect the money due on the lands and to pay the money over to the tribe or nation of Indians, or other property authorized agent or agents; upon which the Indians sur rendered and made "a full and com plete release of all such claim or pre tense of title as they now make or ever may have to aforesaid tract of land." Under this act these lands were sold, and the treasurer in 1832 paid to Bates Cook, he being ap pointed' agentrof the Tuscarora Ju dians, the sum of $3,220.71. The re cord of this voucher. No. 258, is to be seen In the treasurer's office, book of 1832, page 377. .''. : The treasurer's reports show two other small items paid to the Tusca rora Indians about this time, the rea son for which payments I have not looked into. On the 19th day of November, 1831. William Chew, Nicholas Casie.j George Warchief, Jonathan Printup. Mathew Jack, William Johnson, and Isaac Miller, chiefs of the Tuscarora nation of Indians, of the first part, in consideratibn of $3,250 lawful money of the United States in them In hand paid, executed to the State of North Carolina a deed by which they granted, bargained, sold, remised released, aliened, and confirmed unto tlic people of the State of North Car- olinna,"in their actual possession now being and to their assigns for ever, all their lands, tenements, and hereditaments situate, lying, and be ing in the county of Bertie In the said State Of North Carolina, together with all and singular - the appurte nances thereunto belonging or in any wise appertaining, and the revision and reversions, remainder and re mainders thereof, and the estate right, title, interest, claim and de mand whatsoever of the said parties of the first part, either in law or equity, of, in, and to the above bar gained premises, with the heridita- ments and appurtenances." This deed was property witnessed by the Indians in person coming . before Robert Fleming, first judge, of the Niagara county court of common pleas of New York. The signature of Judge Fleming was authenticated by Enos T. Throop, governor of the State of New York. -: These are all the leases and pa pers that I find that I think will e of , use to you In determining the status of your claim for the rever- OVERTAXED Hundreds of Raleigh Readers Know What it Means,: The kidneys are overtaxed; Have too much to do.
