May 31, 1705 entry re Nansiatico
--------------------------

Note: In the previous volume, entries were made describing Nansiatico involvement in a treaty with northern tribes viewed suspiciously by the colonial government. Later they complained to the government that they had been pushed off their land by two white men. In 1704, several were found guilty of a murder. The entire tribe was moved to a jail in Williamsburg, a complaint lodged against them by the whites in the county they resided in, requesting their transportation. It was entitled "An Aggrievance of the Upper Inhabitants of Essex County wherein they pray that the Nansiatico Indians may be transported; It is ordered that the said Paper be referred to the House of Burgesses the case of the Nansiatico Indians being now under their consideration."
