s the use
of a company of militia, of which he was an officer, to eject a settler.
Linn errs in his reference to the defendant as "Satcha." The man's name
was Latcha, according to the Appearance Docket Commencing 1797, No. 2,
Lycoming County.

[22] The Appearance Dockets and Files were checked for Northumberland
County from 1784 to 1795 and for Lycoming County from 1795 to 1801.
These records, obtained in the offices of the respective prothonotaries,
produced thirty-seven cases in Northumberland and twenty-two in Lycoming
County dealing with former Fair Play settlers. Unfortunately, only four
were reviews of actual Fair Play decisions.

[23] Northumberland County originated in 1772 and Lycoming County in
1795. Clinton County was not created until 1839.

[25] The cases referred to here are: _Hughes_ vs. _Dougherty_, _Huff_
vs. _Satcha_, and _Grier_ vs. _Tharpe_. They were located in the
Appearance Dockets of Lycoming and Northumberland counties in the
respective prothonotaries' offices. _Hughes_ vs. _Dougherty_ appears in
the Northumberland County Docket for November, 1783, to August, 1786, in
the February term of the Court of Common Pleas, file 42. Both the Huff
and Grier cases were found in the Lycoming County Docket No. 2,
commencing 1797, court terms and file numbers indicated as follows:
_Huff_ vs. _Satcha_, February, 1799, #2, and _Grier_ vs. _Tharpe_, May,
1800, #41. A partial deposition by Eleanor Coldren, _Now and Then_, XII
(1959), 220-222, was also employed. Although the case appears to be
_Dewitt_ vs. _Dunn_, I could not locate it in the Appearance Dockets.
Depositions taken in the Huff and Grier cases were published in Linn,
"Indian Land and Its Fair-Play Settlers," pp. 422-424.
