In the Afternoon attended
a general Council of a small
Body of the Tuscororas

, who live
on sufferance upon the Oneida
Lands; these people consist of
twelve Families, about 58 In-
dividuals, have 43 horned Cat-
tle, 2 Yoke of Oxen, and one plow;
and have the Offer of 200 Acres
of Land to a family by the
Oneidas; but only three of
their Number have yet taken
up with the Offer; they be-
ing generally too indolent to
enclose, clear and till Land
when given to them; although
the Land here is of an excel-
lent Quality, and easy of Culture.
