Kirkland, Samuel, 1741-1808. Papers relating to dispute with Guy Johnson, 1775 Feb. 14-Aug. 25.

Title: Papers relating to dispute with Guy Johnson, 1775 Feb. 14-Aug. 25.

Copies, apparently made and annotated by Kirkland, of letters between him and Johnson, and narrative passages perhaps taken from his diary. Johnson, the Superintendant of Indian Affairs, told Kirkland he had received reports that Kirkland was meddling in political relations with the Indians and eventually ordered him to leave New York. Kirkland denied the accusations, accused Johnson of slandering him, and appealed to the Oneidas for help. They and the rest of the Six Nations of the Iroquois decided to ask Kirkland to stay and to defend him against Johnson. The final page contains the first part of an excerpt from "Governour Johnston's" speech in the House of Commons, 6 Oct. 1775, concerning the strength of the American defense against the Royal Navy.

Title: Six Nations status : arrival and settlement in Canada, present position, ca. 1946.

A manuscript discussing the resettlement of the Iroquois in Canada after the American Revolution. The manuscript can almost be considered a documentary history due to its footnoting and the large (403 pp.) collection of transcripts of documents relating to Indian resettlement. A majority of these documents were transcripted from the Haldemand papers, held by the National Archives of Canada. The manuscript provides a detailed review of official actions regarding Indian resettlement and the questions of land rights as they emanated from the 1785 Treaty of Paris. Also included among the transcriptions are a number of letters by Joseph Brant, John Johnson and Guy Johnson, written during the American Revolution.

Johnson, William, Sir, 1715-1774. Papers, 1733-1808.

Title: Papers, 1733-1808.

This collection of Johnson's papers represents a significant number of Johnson's personal and business papers. The collection consists of several thousand individual documents ranging from bills and receipts to correspondence to household inventories. The collection includes materials seized by the State during the American Revolution and other materials acquired subsequently to supplement the collection. Included in this collection are correspondence, bills, accounts, records of public proceedings, official and military reports regarding Johnson as a land developer, records relating to Johnson's activities as a fur trader and his activities as Superintendent of Indian Affairs. Also included are papers relating to trade with the Indians; papers relating to Johnson's activities during the French and Indian War, particularly the Battle of Lake George in 1755; the construction of Johnson's homes, Fort Johnson and Johnson Hall; the erection of public buildings for use by the county seat in Johnstown, N.Y. and other papers reflecting Johnson's role as a prominent figure on the colonial frontier. The collection also contains materials relating to Johnson's activities as a land agent for his uncle Sir Peter Warren. Johnson acted as Warren's agent shortly after his immigration to America and managed Warren's Mohawk Valley lands. The collection was badly damaged in the 1911 New York State Capitol fire. Those documents that survived were published as Johnson Papers (see publications note). A published calendar of the collection was issued prior to the fire and the absence of particular documents is easy to ascertain (see publications note). The State Library holds other papers of Johnson and his family which are cataloged separately.
