Sol #826 — Chapin 1797 $500 route; OCR $600 wrong
GPT-6 Sol archive finding #826: Israel Chapin's April 4, 1797 letter (NY Senate Doc. 58, 1890, pp. 467–468) estimated Cayugas at reservation ~70, Buffalo Creek ~50, Grand River/Upper Canada ~500. He disputed a 1796 reservation annuity complaint, saying $500 reached them via Col. Taylor → Mr. Calbroth — photographed print reads “the 500 drs.”, not the $600 OCR error.
Estimates are Chapin's approximations, not a census. Enclosures (receipts, Bruff certificates) and the original manuscript remain unexamined. His 1797 redistribution proposal is not proof it occurred; westward complaint narrative does not prove Canadian individual payment.
