Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

Here I conclude you mean the Moravian Indians of Nain and Weketank, two Plantations of the Brethren; for no Other Indians remained among the Inhabitants after the Massacre at Lancaster. These Indians you well know were Part of the Moravian Community, converted to the Christian Faith by Missionaries of their and your Society, lived on their Lands, and were daily under their Care. They were also received, as Subjects, and taken under the Protection of the Government at their particular Request upwards of twenty Years ago, by Governor Thomas; afterwards, in the late War, by Governors Morris and Denny. They had ever since lived peaceably and inoffensively in this Situation, if the Testimony of their Divines and others who were constantly resident among them may be credited.—But as they were situated near the Frontiers, some of the People of the County were suspicious that they held a secret Correspondence with the Enemy: And one of them was charged with the Murder of one Stinson in Company with other Indians, but was acquitted by a Jury of the County on a fair Trial. However, a Pannick seized many of the Inhabitants, and Numbers declared, if those Indians remained among them, they would desert their Habitations.—Several Requests came down to the Governor to desire their Removal to some other Place.—He laid them
