COLDEN'S History.] Shawanese _are_ Brethren _to the_ Six Nations, _but are not in the_ Confederacy: _Their Coming from the_ Spanish _Dominions is remember'd by many now living. The_ Five Nations _gave them Lands on the West Branch of_ Susquehanna, _and therefore claim a Superiority over them, for which the_ Shawanese _mortally hate them. The greatest Part of 'em, a few Years ago, went to settle on the River_ Ohio, _which is a Branch of the_ Missisippi, _and heads with the West Branch of_ Susquehanna. _One Tribe of them is quite gone down to_ New Spain; _there are a few left still at_ Wyomink _on the North Branch of_ Susquehanna, _and others have a large Town on an Island in the West Branch, about 50 Miles above the_ Forks. _They are the most restless and mischievous of all the_ Indians.

The several Nations of _Indians_ with whom the _Six Nations_ or _Iroquois_ are in Alliance; according to the Information given CONRAD WEISER, Esq; in open Council at _Turpehawkin_, at their Return from the Treaty at _Philadelphia_ in _July_ 1742. 1. _A Nation of_ Indians _living on the West Side of the Lake_ Erie, _and along the Streights of_ Huron's _Lake. They are called by the_ Iroquois, Unighkellyiakon; _consisting of about_ Thirty Towns, _each of about 200 Fighting Men._ 2. _The second Nation lives among the preceeding, called ---- consisting of_ Four Towns _of their own People, and 400 able Men in all._ 3. _The third Nation called by the_ Iroquois, Tsh
