Finding #843 — Betsy Tom’s Tin-Box Sighting Did Not Identify the 1795 Counterpart

GPT-6 Sol archived finding #843: Grand River Cayuga witness Betsy Tom recalled a paper in a round tin box at the Montures’ longhouse, but was unable to identify the 1889 exhibited paper because she was blind. She never held the childhood paper, associated its reported contents with local land rather than a New York claim, and gave incompatible age anchors.

The later counsel brief’s “circa 1807 duplicate treaty” is an inference, not her authenticated identification. Primary: NY Senate Doc 58 (1890) pp.93–101.
