- In the name of God, Amen. I, David Schuyler, of Canajohary, in Albany County, being of perfect mind. "I leave to my eldest son, Peter D. Schuyler, 10 shillings for his birthright, and then the further sum of 40s. besides his equal share with my 9 children by my second wife, in the mines and minerals at Canajohary." "And because I do not hereby will my said son, Peter D. Schuyler, any more, I keep the reason to myself." I leave to all the children by my second wife each one full share of all my lands and pretensions at Canajohary, at the lake Conjadaroga. Also a full share of the mines and minerals. I also give to all the children by my second wife, viz., John, Adonijah, David, Philip, Jacob, Anna, Margaretta, Alida, and Catharine, all my estate in Albany and New York and Rensselaerwyck and in Surinam. "My daughter Catharine is to have £30 paid to her by her brothers and sisters, and they shall help her if in want; and they shall help one another if necessity requires." And those who are able to use my lands shall do so for the support of their mother and my smaller children. And when my younger children are old enough to pay their share of debts, they shall repay them. And if they do not help, then my wife has power to lease land. I appoint Sir William Johnson, Baronet, Sylrant Van Schaick, Esq., the old Mayor Peter Schuyler, and Dominie Johan Kaspar Lappeus, Abraham Yates, High Sheriff, Johanes Degormay, and Conrad Matyse, executors, "and I impower them to see Justice done to the heirs."

Under the following memorandum, writing or agreement, Onida, April twenty fourth day one thousand seven hundred ninety four. Know all men that we the native Indians of Onida nominated Sachems, Chiefs & Warriors, do elect, empower Jacob Reed to act & transact a business of importance with Joseph Mabee & Jacob Schuyler of the State of New York & County of Herkimer. I, therefore Jacob Reed do grant the farm let unto Joseph Mabee & Jacob Schuyler, a certain tract or parcel of land which we the said Natives are unable to improve, lying on our reserve commonly call The Chedenango (alias Chittelingo) above the main bridge, both sides of the creek. Therefore they the said Native Indians do Covenant & agree with Joseph Mabee & Jacob Schuyler, their heirs & assigns, that the said Joseph & Jacob shall have hold, occupy & enjoy the said tract or parcel of land one year free from the time the said Joseph & Jacob their heirs & assigns shall improve on the same: and the second year they the said Joseph & Jacob their heirs or assigns shall pay forty pounds or one hundred dollars until the full end & term of three years: to have & to hold the said parcel of land before mentioned, free, clear, peaceable & unmolested during the term of years.

Also a memorandum in the following words, annex'd to the above.
By order of the Sachems, Chiefs & Warriors of the Onida Nation of Indians I hereby certify that Joseph Mabee & Jacob Schuyler leased of the Onidas all the lands mentioned in the within lease for themselves & the following mentioned persons /viz./ Peter Marsh, Gerrit Van Slyck, David Schuyler Jun., Hezekiah Olcott & Jacob Rice & not inserting the five last mentioned persons in this lease is by reason. That the said Joseph Mabee & Jacob Schuyler became sureties for said rent within mentioned lease. And said lease is to comprehend the Chedenanka & Tuscarora lands. 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. (signed) Jacob Reed

Peter Marsh & Gerrit Van Slyke (now resident on Onida Reservation) being duly sworn, depose & say that they were present & saw Jacob Reed subscribe the last mentioned Certificate on the 7th day of December instant, & at the same time heard the said Jacob Reed acknowledge that he had on behalf of the Onida Nation given & entered into the foregoing agreement or lease to & with the above named Joseph Mabee & Jacob Schuyler and the deponents further say that the said agreement as aforesaid was made by the consent & approbation of the Onida Nation of Indians, as they have often heard sundry of the same Nation confess & acknowledge; particularly the said Peter Marsh says that early in the month of April last past, Schenando, Ludwick, Anthony, Jacob Dackstedder, John Denny & some others of the Chiefs of the said Nation, together with a surveyor called upon the persons in the said lease or agreement mentioned at their houses & offered & proposed to survey off the said tract to the said persons, but the survey was postponed for the reasons in the foregoing certificate of John Reed mentioned. 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.
