isagech Roanu,[7]
_lives on the East Side of the_ Huron's _Lake; several of the Council
have been there, and all agree they have_ Three large Towns _of 600,
800, and 1000 able Men._

[Footnote 7: _Roanu_ signifies _Nation_ or _People_, in the Language of
the _Six Nations_.]

4. _The fourth, called_ Twightwis Roanu, Two large Towns, _and about 200
Men in all, live at the Heads of_ Huakiky _River, near the little

(the People of the Wilderness) _live on the North Side of_ Huron's
_Lake; they neither plant Corn, nor any thing else, but live altogether

Confederacy _hath gained them no less_ Reputation _than their_ Courage;
_which indeed has struck_ Terror _into the remotest_ Indian _Nations of
North_ America, _and forc'd them to court the Friendship and Protection
of such a formidable Power._

Pensilvania, _gained the absolute Confidence and Affection of this_
brave People: _They were convinced of his_ Tenderness _for them, and in
