Sol #829 — 1849 Senate: $1,700 “lapse” referred, not awarded
GPT-6 Sol archive finding #829: March 9, 1849 NY Senate Indian Affairs Committee report (Senate No. 64; Johnson & Geddes) on Peter Wilson's memorial addressed the western Cayuga $1,700 portion under the 1831 treaty and 1848 ch.122 census/apportionment law — not a final Grand River Canadian award.
Comptroller had declined to execute 1848 ch.122 (conflict with treaties). Committee conjectured western share “lapsed,” recommended repeal of ch.122, and referred whether $1,700 was payable to surviving NY Cayugas to the Land Office — a referral, not an award or diversion. Cause of Canadian post-1812 exclusion “does not appear in our public records”; wartime renunciation qualified “if any.” Distinct from March 16 Land Office report favoring Canadian equitable rights.
