s the use of a company of militia, of which he was an officer, to eject a settler. Linn errs in his reference to the defendant as "Satcha." The man's name was Latcha, according to the Appearance Docket Commencing 1797, No. 2, Lycoming County. [18] _See_ nn. 6 and 7, p. 33. [19] Smith, _Laws_, II, 195. _See also_, pp. 31 and 32, this chapter, in which the excerpt from this source is quoted verbatim. [20] _Supra_, p. 33. [21] _Infra_, Chapter Six. The question of leadership in conjunction with the problems of this frontier is discussed in Chapter Six. [22] The Appearance Dockets and Files were checked for Northumberland County from 1784 to 1795 and for Lycoming County from 1795 to 1801. These records, obtained in the offices of the respective prothonotaries, produced thirty-seven cases in Northumberland and twenty-two in Lycoming County dealing with former Fair Play settlers. Unfortunately, only four were reviews of actual Fair Play decisions. [23] Northumberland County originated in 1772 and Lycoming County in 1795. Clinton County was not created until 1839. [24] Meginness, _Otzinachson_ (Philadelphia, 1857), p. 172. [25] The cases referred to here are: _Hughes_ vs. _Dougherty_, _Huff_ vs. _Satcha_, and _Grier_ vs. _Tharpe_. They were located in the Appearance Dockets of Lycoming and Northumberland counties in the respective prothonotaries' offices. _Hughes_ vs. _Dougherty_ appears in the Northumberland County Docket for November, 1783, to August, 1786, in the February term of the Court of Common Pleas, file 42. Both the Huff and Grier cases were found in the Lycoming County Docket No. 2, commencing 1797, court terms and file numbers indicated as follows: _Huff_ vs. _Satcha_, February, 1799, #2, and _Grier_ vs. _Tharpe_, May, 1800, #41. A partial deposition by Eleanor Coldren, _Now and Then_, XII (1959), 220-222, was also employed. Although the case appears to be _Dewitt_ vs. _Dunn_, I could not locate it in the Appearance Dockets. Depositions taken in the Huff and Grier cases were published in Linn, "Indian Land and Its Fair-Play Settlers," pp. 422-424. [26] Leyburn, _The Scotch-Irish_, p. 205. [27] Jasper Yeates, _Pennsylvania Reports_, I (Philadelphia, 1817), 497-498. [28] Smith, _Laws_, II, 195. [29] Yeates, _Pennsylvania Reports_, I, 497-498. [30] "Eleanor Coldren's Deposition," pp. 220-222. [31] Linn, "Indian Land and Its Fair-Play Settlers," p. 422. [32] _Ibid._ [33] _Ibid._
