I do further certify that myself & the Chiefs of our tribe & our surveyor attended at Canasaroga to measure the said lands as in said lease mentioned That the said mentioned persons were actually improving the said lands & the said parties desired us to put off the measurement of said lands, being one hundred acres to each, until a final settlement with our tribe & the State of New York should take place; and no other person has any rights from us to claim by lease or improvement any lands lying between Chedenanka & the Military line. December 7, 1795 By order of the Sachems & Warriors of our tribe.

These Deponents further say that the above named Joseph Mabee was actually resident on the said tract of land (between the Chittelingo & the Military Tract of lands) on the first of July 1794 & has occupied & improved thereon to this time by the consent of the said Onida Nation. And these Deponents further say that the said Jacob Schuyler, David Schuyler Jun. & the said Peter & Gerrit occupied & improved the said described piece of land before & on the first day of January last past, & by the consent & approbation of the Onida Nation and also that they are all of full age & have families except the said David Schuyler Jun. But whether the dwelling houses of the said persons (except the said Joseph Mabee) are situated on the tract lately purchased of the Onida Nation, these Deponents are ignorant, the line between the said tract & Hardenburgh's location not being ascertained, & the houses standing near the same. Conrad Klock, (resident on the Onida Reservation) being duly sworn, says that the above named persons have occupied & improved the tract of land above described for more than one year last past by the consent & approbation of the Onida Nation, as he verily believes.
