August 9, 48 B.C.: Julius Caesar defeats Pompey, who is killed in Egypt. [1][1] Considering Pompey’s behavior towards the Jews, including his desecration of the Temple, Caesar’s victory was the preferred outcome. [2][2]
August 9, 378: Roman Emperor Valens who began his reign in 364, was killed by the Visigoths as he led his large to defeat at the Battle of Adrianople. During his reign Valens followed the course of his predecessors and issued an edict strengthening the Patriarchate. He issued an edict that exempted “officers of communities subject to the ‘illustrious Patriarch (Nasi)’ from service on municipal councils. In 368 he issued an edict forbidding the billeting of troops in Synagogues. Such minor sounding positive notes, makes him better than his imperial peers when it came to treatment of the Jewish people.[3]
380 CE: Emperor Theodosius mandates orthodoxy.[4]
August 9, 681: Founding of the first Bulgarian Empire. Archaeologists have found traces of Jewish communities in the area that pre-dated the formation of Bulgaria. The first major movement of Jews into Bulgaria took place early in the 8th century when Jews fled persecution in the Byzantine Empire.[5]
682 A.D.
When in 682, Pope Martin I was accused of friendly dealing with the Moslems, he explained that his motive was to seek permission to send alms to Jerusalem.[6]
682: Visigothic king Erwig begins his reign by enacting 28 anti-Jewish laws. He presses for the “utter expirpation of the pest of the Jews” and decrees that all converts must be registered by a parish priest, who must issue travel permits. All holidays, Christian and Jewish, must be spent in the presence of a priest to ensure piety and to prevent the backsliding.[7]
682:
In North Africa Uqba b Nafe marches to the Atlantic, is ambushed and killed at Biskra. The Muslims evacuate Qairowan and withdraw to Burqa.[8]

Beaujeu. Capitaine Daniel Lienard de Beaujeu. (BOH-joh). Born August 9, 1711 in Montreal and killed at the Battle of the Monongahela July 9, 1755. French officer who persuaded Fort Duquesne commander Contrecoeur to allow him to lead a group of French and Canadian soldiers plus allied Indians out of the fort and up the Monongahela River to meet the force of British General Braddock. The Indians thought Beaujeu would be leading them against an invincible force and refused his request. But, after an impassioned plea by Beaujeu where he apparently shamed them, the Indians changed their minds and added around 637 warriors to his force of some 254 French/Canadian troupes de la marine and militia. Thus, Beaujeu was able to lead a force of approximately 900 to the battle
Beaujeu was killed by the third volley from the British and was replaced by Captain Jean-Daniel Dumas (see Dumas). Some accounts record that Beaujeu had been appointed commandant of Fort Duquesne—replacing Contrecoeur. Without Beaujeu’s persuading the Indians to fight, Fort Duquesne would certainly have fallen. After Beaujeu’s death and the defeat of Braddock, Contrecoeur was quick to claim credit for the victory.
Beaujeu had a younger brother—Louis Lienard (1716-1802) who was commandant at Fort Michilimackinac 1758-1760. After the August 1760 French surrender to the British in Canada, Beaujeu turned over command to Charles de Langlade so that Beaujeu would not be the one surrendering to the enemy. Perhaps Louis Lienard felt that surrendering to an enemy who had killed his brother would have resulted in a humiliation beyond the call of duty.[11]

No. 10.—CRAWFORD TO JAMES[14] TILGHMAN.[15]
STEWART’S CROSSINGS, August 9, 1771.
SIR:—I understand by Captain John Haden, the bearer of this, that there is an agreement entered into by a number of the inhabitants of Monongahela and Redstone. They have entered into a bond or article of agreement to join and keep off all officers of the law, under a penalty of fifty [pounds], to be forfeited by the party refusing to join against all officers whatsoever.
I understand this was set on foot by a set of people who have made a breach of the law by driving out men from their homes for which there was a King’s warrant issued against them, together with a notion propagated by Colonel Croghan that those posts would not fall into Pennsylvania. He told me it was the opinion of some of the best judges that the province line would not extend.by considerable so far; as it would be settled at forty-eight nifles to a degree of longitude, which was the distance of a degree of longitude allowed at the time the charter was granted to Mr. Penn. He has since told these people that they had no right to obey any precept issued from Pennsylvania.
He has run a line from the mouth of Raccoon [creek] up the Ohio to Fort Pitt, and thence up Monongahela, above Pigeon creek; thence across till it strikes Raccoon creek ten miles up It; and says he has one more grant of 100,000 acres to lay off in a paralleI with that. Many surveys he has cut to pieces and sold to sundry people, that have been returned to your office, some of which are not above three or four miles from Fort Pitt. He has done so with one of mine and many others. It is a great pity there is not a stop put to such proceedings, as it will be attended with very bad consequences.
I am informed there is a large number of signers already to the paper; when I see it, I will give you a more distinct account. I am, etc.
P. S.—I shall be down this fall and pay off to the land office for the different lands I am concerned in or have undertaken to transact.[16]

AT My House, August 9, 1782.
Sir:— We have hired five spies who are now out, who are to reconnoiter from Fort Crawford to the Kittanning, agreeable to what was proposed when with you. They are ordered to correspond with those you may send. They are to make the figure of the day of the month upon a tree in order to ascertain their meeting or appointing places, and leave a line under a stone at the root of the tree importing the nature of the discovery if they have made any.
I have had a meeting of the field officers and other principal inhabitants upon the subject of the expedition.2 The plan agreed upon I will lay before the gentlemen who are to meet

FROM BRIGADIER-GENERAL KNOX.
"It is the opinion of the subscriber that the Battery on
Fort Island ought to have an additional work thrown up
upon its left, and Garrisoned with 12 pieces heavy cannon,
150 cannoniers, and half as many assistants, with 500 In-
fantry.
" Red Bank is to be contracted so as to have 5 or 6 can-
non on the land side, and as many heavy towards the river ;
to prevent any ships coming up the channel leading to it, in
order to flank the Gallies which may be station'd for the
defence of the Cheveaux de Frize near the Fort.
" Billingsport to be finished as at present contracted, or if
possible more so ; so as to hold 300 men exclusive of 150
cannoniers and 75 assistants, to work 12 pieces heavy can-
non which ousrht to be in this work.
" The Gallies to lye opposite to it at the break of the low
Island, in order to assist the fire of Billingsport : these Gal-
lies would be for this purpose preferable to the floating
Batteries, as they can be most easily remov'd in case of an
accident to Billingsport.
" If much depends on the fire ships an inclosed Battery
ought to be constructed on some advantageous piece of
ground near Derbys Creek, and something higher up the
river than where the present defective Battery is ; this in
order to prevent any of the enemy's ships mooring at the
mouth of the western channel ; so to hinder the fire ships
sent round into the, main ship channel. The western chan-
nel is thought to be most commodious for the free operation
of the fire ships either in the Channel leading to Billings-
port or further down the river ; the Gallies ought also to lye
in the western channel if their retreat is perfectly secure ;
as the Commodore says ; as well in order to protect the fire
ships, as to annoy any of the enemy's Frigates which may
be opposed to Billingsport ; but the two floating Batteries
which from their unwieldiness, cannot be easily mov'd to-
gether with the Frigates and Xebecques, ought to lye behind
the second row of Chevaux de Frize, upon a line with Fort
Island.
" If there should be time enough, a strong enclos'd work
ought to be thrown up on fort Island, capable of contain-
ing 4 or 500 men ; an advantage may be taken of part of
the stone work already erected, and which in its present
state would be infinitely detremental to any body of men
who may seek shelter from it.

" CAMP SANDY RUN, 9 th Aug*. 1777."
August 9, 1777
WASHINGTON TO THE PEESIDENT OF CONGRESS.
" HEADQUARTERS, CAMP, NEAR GERMAN TOWN,
"Aug[9],1777.
" SIR :
" The disappearance of the enemy's fleet for so many
days rendering it rather improbable, that they will again
return, I have thought it adviseable to remove the army back
to CoryelPs where it will be near enough to succor Philadel-
phia, should the enemy contrary to appearances still make
that the object of their next operations, and will be so much
the more conveniently situated to proceed to the Northward,
should the event of the present ambiguous and perplexing
situation of things call them that way. I was the more in-
clined to this step, as the nearness of the army to the city,
beside other disadvantages, afforded a temptation both to
officers and men to indulge themselves in licenses incon-
sistent with discipline and order, and consequently of a very
injurious tendency. 1 [18]
" But before my departure, I esteem it my duty to com-
municate to Congress the result of my examination into
the nature of the River defence proper to be adopted ac-
cording to the means in our possession, to prevent the suc-
cess of any attempt upon Philadelphia by water. I there-
fore beg leave to lay before Congress what appears to me
most eligible, considering all circumstances, and comparing
my own observations, with the different opinions of the
Gentlemen, whom I consulted on the occasion.
" It is generally a well founded maxim, that we ought to
endeavor to reduce our defence as much as possible to a cer-
tainty, by collecting our strength and making all our prepa-
rations at one point, rather than to risk its being weak and
ineffectual every where, by dividing our attention and force
to different objects. In doing this, we may disable ourselves
from acting with sufficient vigor any where, and a misfortune
in one place may pave the way for a similar one in another.
In our circumstances, we have neither men, cannon, nor any
thing else to spare, and perhaps cannot with propriety
hazard them on objects which being attended with the
greatest success we can promise ourselves, can be pro-
ductive of only partial and indicisive advantages, and which
may possibly fail of the end proposed, may have some seri-
ous ill-consequences, and must at all events have some dis-
advantages.
" It is then to be considered, where our defence can be
most effectually made, whether at Billingsport, or at Fort
Island.
"It appears to me, that the last deserves greatly the
preference. Billingsport has but one row of Chevaux de
frize, Fort Island has three; and in addition to them, a
boom and another Chevaux de frize, ready to be sunk in
the channel, on the approach of the enemy; of course the
obstructions in this respect are four times as great at the
one as at the other. The Gallies and floating batteries, that
could be brought for the defence of the chevaux de frize at
Billingsport, would be unable to maintain their station,
when once the enemy were in possession of the command-
ing ground on the Jersey side, to which they would be en-
tirely exposed, and notwithstanding the works raising there,
even supposing them complete, the strongest advocates for
making our defence in this place do not pretend, that that
.event can be protracted more than fifteen or twenty days at
most, at the end of which time, we should be obliged with
the loss of our cannon at least to abandon the defence, and
leave it in the power of the enemy to remove or destroy the
chevaux de frize at pleasure. Nor is it by any means certain
that a single row of chevaux de frize would be an impene-
trable barrier to the enemy's ships. Experiments have been
made that lead to a contrary supposition, and if they should
hazard one, which it might be well worth their while to do,
with some of their less valuable ships, under favor of a
leading breeze and tide, and should succeed in it, the
consequence might be the loss of our gallies and floating
batteries, which I apprehend might be intercepted, and with
the assistance of their gallies and small armed vessels, taken
and this would greatly weaken the opposition we might
otherwise give at Fort Island, and tend powerfully to render
it abortive. But if they should not attempt this, contenting
themselves with safer though slower operations, I have
already observed, that it is agreed, on all hands, in fifteen
or twenty days they would be able to possess themselves of
infallible means of frustrating our opposition there, by the
capture of our works ; and if we add to this, that it might
very possibly happen in less time, if from no other cause,
yet from the garrison being intimidated, by a conscious-
ness of its own inferiority and inability to support itself
against a so much superior force of numbers, which might
occasion a conduct destructive to itself there will remain
no sufficient reasons to justify the making this the principal
point of defence.
" At Fort Island the boom and chevaux de frize are an
ample security against any forcible impression of the enemy's
ships which it would be imprudent in them to attempt. On
the Jersey side the situation of the ground is such, that the
gallies, floating batteries and forts employed in the defence
of the obstructions would have little to fear from any bat-
teries erected there. Red-bank seems, by its elevation to
be the only advantageous spot for annoying them ; but as it
is computed to be above 1900 yards from Fort Island, the dis-
tance is rather too great to allow any battery raised there to
act with so much effect as to be able to silence our fire. On
this side, the ground by dykes and sluices may be laid under
water to so considerable an extent as to leave no danger of
our River force being annoyed from thence ; for which pur-
pose suitable precautions ought, at once, to be made, against
it may be necessary to carry them into effect.
" But, though a battery upon Red-bank, would not in my
apprehension, be able to prevent the efficacy of our defence
or give any material disturbance to Fort Island, in particular, yet it might serve to make the situation of some of our
gallics rather uneasy ; and this perhaps makes it worth
while to pre-occupy it in order to keep it out of the enemy's
hands erecting a small, but strong work there capable of
containing about two hundred men, with six or eight pieces
of light cannon, and a proportionable quantity of stores. As
the approaches to it are difficult on account of the adjacent
creeks, and a communication can be kept open between it
and our army, by which means the garrison might receive
succors from time to time, though we could not expect to
make it impregnable, yet we should have a prospect of hold-
ing it much longer than we could the work at Billingsport.
"In the position, which from my present view of it, I
should think it best for our army to take, the left wing of it
would be nearly opposite to Red-bank, and therefore in a con-
dition to relieve and support it ; whereas Billingsport being
more remote from the probable position of the army, and
detached from any other work, could not easily derive any
assistance from without and must rely wholly upon its own
strength.
" Either at Billingsport or at Fort Island, I believe there
is not much to be apprehended from the fire of the enemy's
ships unaided by land batteries ; For as by the information
of those who ought to be acquainted with the fact, not more
than three ships can act abreast at a time at either place,
and as the gallies, not requiring the same depth of water,
can extend themselves at pleasure, and besides carry a supe-
rior weight of metal to that which frigates commonly have,
a much superior fire, could be opposed to them than any
they could bring and from the difference of size and make
between the frigates and gallies, to much better effect than
theirs. The comparative extent of the River at Billings-
port and at Fort Island has been assigned as a motive of
preference to the former, the river being narrower there
than at the latter, and supposed to admit of fewer ships
operating at a time ; but as it is asserted by the gentlemen
in the River department, that the sand banks and shallow-
ness of the River in most places near Fort Island, compensate for the width of it and make it impossible for more
than three ships to act together at a time, this reason of
preferring the position at Billingsport seems to have no
foundation. And if we consider, that our whole force of
gallies and floating batteries, would be collected at Fort
Island, assisted by the fort itself and that it would not be
safe to trust them all out for the defence of Billingsport, for
fear of the disaster already suggested, it seems evident
enough that this is the place where our defence may be
most successfully made.
" One of the most weighty considerations with me is, that
our Army as before intimated, could more conveniently
co-operate with the defence by water here than at Billings-
port. The ground on this side is better situated here than
at the other place, and the Army being so much nearer the
city, it is so much the less likely, that the enemy should be
able, by a circuitous route to fall into the rear of it and sep-
arate it from the city, which is a circumstance that ought
carefully to be attended to.
" Some Gentlemen are of opinion that our principal de-
pendence ought to be upon Fort Island and its appendages ;
but at the same time, that we should make a part of our
defence at Billingsport proposing for that purpose that the
works there should be continued on the new contracted
scale to be garrisoned by four or five hundred men. The
reasons for this are that it would serve to delay the enemy
and give our army time to come up, should it be at any dis-
tance and that it would prevent those disagreeable impres-
sions which never fail to accompany the abandoning works
that have been once raised and plans that have been once in
execution ; especially when the persons concerned in the
defence of them repose a degree of confidence in them ;
which is said to be the case in the present instance. But
these reasons may perhaps not be so conclusive as 'tis
imagined ; for 'tis a question whether, if our army was so
remote as to make such a delay necessary, the enemy would
embarrass themselves with removing the water obstructions
in the first place, but would not rather debark and make
a rapid march by land ; possessing themselves of the city
and of those positions which would make the surrender of
the gallies, &c., in some sort a natural consequence; and it
is worthy of consideration, whether the* abandoning the
works begun at this time, which will probably allow some
leisure for any disagreeable impressions it might make to
be effaced, will not be less injurious than the abandoning
them hereafter when they have cost more expence, time and
labor, and in the critical moment of an attack, when every
misfortune, and the loss of the most inconsiderable post is
too apt to have a much worse influence on the mind than
the real importance of it will justify. Add to this the pos-
sibility that the garrison dismayed at the approach of num-
bers so superior to their own, might not answer the end
expected from them, and might even be lost by their ti-
midity the certahity of losing the cannon after the time
limited for the defence and thereby weakening that of the
upper position the chance of losing the gallies and floating
batteries, requisite for covering the chevaux de frize, by a
hazardous and successful attempt to break through them,
and the garrison with them, which would fall of course upon
such an event, It is however, submitted to Congress to
ballance the advantages and disadvantages and determine
accordingly. I would only beg leave to give it clearly as
my opinion, that our principal dependence ought to be upon
Fort Island and the obstructions there, and that Billingsport
ought not by any means to be defended, more than as a
secondary object.
" And to that end, I would recommend that the works on
Fort Island, which on their present construction are by no
means calculated for the defence of the Chevaux de frize be
immediately altered and adapted to that purpose, taking
care, at the same time, to make them defensible with a
small number of men against any sudden attempt to land
in boats and carry them by assault. But whatever scheme
is pursued, I could wish the greatest diligence and despatch
may be used in bringing it to maturity; for though the
danger which lately threatened seems to have subsided, there is no knowing how soon it may return and certainly
it will be prudent to do every thing in our power to be pre-
pared for it, as we can lose nothing by being so, and may
lose a great deal by neglecting to improve the interval
of leisure they have given us should it be their intention
to revisit this quarter. As the means to this it will be
necessary to furnish Mr. Coudray to whom the Superin-
tendency of those works is intrusted, with a competent
number of workmen, tools, and what other things he may
want to enable him to carry them on with propriety, ease
and expedition.
" On the whole I am of opinion that the obstructions in
the River, with the help of gallies, floating batteries, and
with tolerable industry to put the land works in a proper
state, will be extremely formidable to the enemy and author-
ise a reasonable expectation of their being effectual. The
fire ships also will contribute to this end, for though there
are many obstacles that render their success precarious, and
a happy concurrence of circumstances is necessary towards
it, any of which failing may disappoint the project, and
there is therefore no room to be sanguine, yet there is some
probability of its succeeding and they will be at least an
embarrassment and terror to the enemy, and will oblige
them to use precautions inconvenient to them and service-
able to us.
" As an accurate knowledge of the country is essential to
a good defence and as the enemy's approach may be sud-
den and we may be called to act, without having time, when
it happens, to examine it sufficiently if it is not done before-
hand, it would answer a valuable purpose to have it imme-
diately carefully reconnoitred, and sketches taken of all
the landing places, great roads and bye-paths, In camping
grounds, heights, rivers, creeks, morasses, and every thing
that it can be of any importance to know.
" Marcus Hook seems to be the most advanced place at
which it is conjectured the enemy will land, the survey
should therefore comprehend all the country between that
& Phil*.
" Mr. Du Coudray has offered his services with his Engi-
neers to do this business, if authorized by Congress, only
requiring that they be supplied with horses and a hand or
two. If Congress approve of it, I shall be glad they may
be desired to enter upon it, without loss of time. I have
the honor, &c.

August 9, 1814: Treaty of Fort Jackson
A historical marker near Union Springs in Bullock County, Alabama shows the Indian Territory boundary line created by the Treaty of Fort Jackson.
The Treaty of Fort Jackson (also known as the Treaty with the Creeks, 1814) was signed on August 9, 1814 at Fort Jackson near Wetumpka, Alabama following the defeat of the Red Stick (Upper Creek) resistance by United States allied forces at the Battle of Horseshoe Bend. It occurred on the banks of the Tallapoosa River near the present city of Alexander City, Alabama. The U.S. force, led by General Andrew Jackson, consisted mainly of the West Tennessee Militia and 39th United States Infantry, allied with several groups of Cherokee and Lower Creek friendly to the American side. The Upper Creek were led by Chief Menawa, who fled with hundreds of survivors into Florida, where they allied with the Seminole. The surrender ended the Creek War, which the United States was fighting simultaneously with the War of 1812.
By the terms of the treaty, the Creek were forced to cede 23 million acres (93,000 km²) of their territory: their remaining land in Georgia and much of central Alabama, to the United States government. This definitive victory freed Jackson to continue southwest to Louisiana, where he defeated the British forces at the Battle of New Orleans. His opposition against Native American forces won him many votes during his first and re-election.
Text of treaty
Articles of agreement and capitulation, made and concluded this ninth day of August, one thousand eight hundred and fourteen, between major general Andrew Jackson, on behalf of the President of the United States of America, and the chiefs, deputies, and warriors of the Creek Nation.
WHEREAS an unprovoked, inhuman, and sanguinary war, waged by the hostile Creeks against the United States, hath been repelled, prosecuted and determined, successfully, on the part of the said States, in conformity with principles of national justice and honorable warfare—And whereas consideration is due to the rectitude of proceeding dictated by instructions relating to the re-establishment of peace: Be it remembered, that prior to the conquest of that part of the Creek nation hostile to the United States, numberless aggressions had been committed against the peace, the property, and the lives of citizens of the United States, and those of the Creek nation in amity with her, at the mouth of Duck river, Fort Mimms, and elsewhere, contrary to national faith, and the regard due to an article of the treaty concluded at New-York, in the year seventeen hundred ninety, between the two nations: That the United States, previously to the perpetration of such outrages, did, in order to ensure future amity and concord between the Creek nation and the said states, in conformity with the stipulations of former treaties, fulfill, with punctuality and good faith, her engagements to the said nation: that more than two-thirds of the whole number of chiefs and warriors of the Creek nation, disregarding the genuine spirit of existing treaties, suffered themselves to be instigated to violations of their national honor, and the respect due to a part of their own nation faithful to the United States and the principles of humanity, by impostures [impostors,] denominating themselves Prophets, and by the duplicity and misrepresentation of foreign emissaries, whose governments are at war, open or understood, with the United States. Wherefore,
1st—The United States demand an equivalent for all expenses incurred in prosecuting the war to its termination, by a cession of all the territory belonging to the Creek nation within the territories of the United States, lying west, south, and south-eastwardly, of a line to be run and described by persons duly authorized and appointed by the President of the United States:
Beginning at a point on the eastern bank of the Coosa river, where the south boundary line of the Cherokee nation crosses the same; running from thence down the said Coosa river with its eastern bank according to its various meanders to a point one mile above the mouth of Cedar creek, at Fort Williams, thence east two miles, thence south two miles, thence west to the eastern bank of the said Coosa river, thence down the eastern bank thereof according to its various meanders to a point opposite the upper end of the great falls, (called by the natives Woetumka,) thence east from a true meridian line to a point due north of the mouth of Ofucshee, thence south by a like meridian line to the mouth of Ofucshee on the south side of the Tallapoosa river, thence up the same, according to its various meanders, to a point where a direct course will cross the same at the distance of ten miles from the mouth thereof, thence a direct line to the mouth of Summochico creek, which empties into the Chatahouchie river on the east side thereof below the Eufaulau town, thence east from a true meridian line to a point which shall intersect the line now dividing the lands claimed by the said Creek nation from those claimed and owned by the state of Georgia: Provided, nevertheless, that where any possession of any chief or warrior of the Creek nation, who shall have been friendly to the United States during the war and taken an active part therein, shall be within the territory ceded by these articles to the United States, every such person shall be entitled to a reservation of land within the said territory of one mile square, to include his improvements as near the centre thereof as may be, which shall inure to the said chief or warrior, and his descendants, so long as he or they shall continue to occupy the same, who shall be protected by and subject to the laws of the United States; but upon the voluntary abandonment thereof, by such possessor or his descendants, the right of occupancy or possession of said lands shall devolve to the United States, and be identified with the right of property ceded hereby.
2nd—The United States will guarantee to the Creek nation, the integrity of all their territory eastwardly and northwardly of the said line to be run and described as mentioned in the first article.
3d—The United States demand, that the Creek nation abandon all communication, and cease to hold any intercourse with any British or Spanish post, garrison, or town; and that they shall not admit among them, any agent or trader, who shall not derive authority to hold commercial, or other intercourse with them, by license from the President or authorized agent of the United States.
4th—The United States demand an acknowledgment of the right to establish military posts and trading houses, and to open roads within the territory, guaranteed to the Creek nation by the second article, and a right to the free navigation of all its waters.
5th—The United States demand, that a surrender be immediately made, of all the persons and property, taken from the citizens of the United States, the friendly part of the Creek nation, the Cherokee, Chickasaw, and Choctaw nations, to the respective owners; and the United States will cause to be immediately restored to the formerly hostile Creeks, all the property taken from them since their submission, either by the United States, or by any Indian nation in amity with the United States, together with all the prisoners taken from them during the war.
6th—The United States demand the caption and surrender of all the prophets and instigators of the war, whether foreigners or natives, who have not submitted to the arms of the United States, and become parties to these articles of capitulation, if ever they shall be found within the territory guaranteed to the Creek nation by the second article.
7th—The Creek nation being reduced to extreme want, and not at present having the means of subsistence, the United States, from motives of humanity, will continue to furnish gratuitously the necessaries of life, until the crops of corn can be considered competent to yield the nation a supply, and will establish trading houses in the nation, at the discretion of the President of the United States, and at such places as he shall direct, to enable the nation, by industry and economy, to procure clothing.
8th—A permanent peace shall ensue from the date of these presents forever, between the Creek nation and the United States, and between the Creek nation and the Cherokee, Chickasaw, and Choctaw nations.
9th—If in running east from the mouth of Summochico creek, it shall so happen that the settlement of the Kennards, fall within the lines of the territory hereby ceded, then, and in that case, the line shall be run east on a true meridian to Kitchofoonee creek, thence down the middle of said creek to its junction with Flint River, immediately below the Oakmulgee town, thence up the middle of Flint river to a point due east of that at which the above line struck the Kitchofoonee creek, thence east to the old line herein before mentioned, to wit: the line dividing the lands claimed by the Creek nation, from those claimed and owned by the state of Georgia. The parties to these presents, after due consideration, for themselves and their constituents, agree to ratify and confirm the preceding articles, and constitute them the basis of a permanent peace between the two nations; and they do hereby solemnly bind themselves, and all the parties concerned and interested, to a faithful performance of every stipulation contained therein.
In testimony whereof, they have hereunto, interchangeably, set their hands and affixed their seals, the day and date above written.

They lived in the upper and middle Ohio Valley during the late Archaic and Early Woodland periods, roughly 1000 B.C.-100 A.D. The Adena people were hunters, gatherers, traders, and farmers. They carved effigy figures, made ceramic pots, built extensive houses, and developed significant burial mounds. These mounds were made of earth, stone, remains of deceased members, and token objects, and were built on uplands near major waterways such as the mound here near the Scioto River. The Ohio Historical Society."

[14] James Tilghman, an officer of the Provincial Council, that there was an agreement entered into by a number of inhabitants of Monongahela and Redstone, who have entered into a bond to keep off the officers of the law, under penalty of ₤50 to be forfeited to the party refusing to join; that this movement was set on foot by a set of people who had made a breach of the law by driving out men from their homes, for which there was a King’s warrant issued against them; together with a notion propagated by Colonel Croghan that the posts would not fall within Pennsylvania. He referred to Croghan’s change of the line, with many surveys cutting into the tract, which would be attended with very bad consequence, if a stop were not put to the proceedings.
