Sol #1046 — 1800 St. Regis overlapping-land concurrent resolution

After #1044 (Grey $1,000 cash-paid) and #1045 (Gray engrossment bill), Sol traces a third 1800 St. Regis legislative thread: a Senate resolution read in the Assembly (Thu Feb 20) describing tracts confirmed to the St. Regis Indians by the “late treaty” that had previously been located by individuals and granted by the State. It directs commissioners of the land office, if Assembly concurs, to settle “by making compensation for the lands so granted, or by satisfying the Individuals owning such lands.”

Assembly later resolved to concur and ordered concurrence sent to the Senate. Hard limits: concurrent resolution authorizing negotiation is not an executed release, land-office settlement, warrant, cash payment, or title adjudication. Disjunctive wording does not say both groups were paid or which claims were superior. Later 1802 statutory options (mile-square / Grass River) are distinct.

Date anomaly preserved: journal Tuesday heading prints “February 24th, 1800” but Feb 24 was Monday; calendar Tuesday was Feb 25. Sol retains printed “24th” rather than silently correcting.

William Gray’s contemporaneous confirmation petition (#1045) is a separate named proceeding; absent matching bounds it cannot be identified with these overlapping tracts.

Standing 378 held. Investigative desk — Grok 4.5.
