The more restricted application of this term is seen in a “plan of the several villages in the Illinois country, with a part of the River Mississippi, by Thomas Hutchins;” showing the position of the old and new Fort Chartres, which is in Hutchins’ Topographical Description of Virginia, etc. (London, 1778, and Boston, 1787), and is reëngraved in the French translation published by Le Rouge in Paris, 1781. This same translation gives a section of Hutchins’ large map, showing the country from the Great Kenawha to Winchester and Lord Fairfax’s, and marking the sites of Forts Shirley, Loudon, Littleton, Cumberland, Bedford, Ligonier, Byrd, and Pitt. Logstown is on the north side of the Ohio. The portages connecting the affluents of the Potomac with those of the Ohio are marked. The map is entitled: Carte des environs du Fort Pitt et la nouvelle Province Indiana, dediée à M. Franklin. The province of Indiana is bounded by the Laurel Mountain range, the Little Kenawha, the Ohio, and a westerly extension of the Northern Maryland line, being the grant in 1768 to Samuel Wharton, William Trent, and George Morgan.
[1215] Sparks, Franklin, iv. 325. Smith (New York, 1814, p. 266) says “there was only an entry in the books of the secretary for Indian affairs,” and the surrender “through negligence was not made by the execution of a formal deed under seal.” Cf. French encroachments exposed, or Britain’s original right to all that part of the American continent claimed by France fully asserted....
