Finding #844 — Mrs. George Monture Recognized Seals, Not the Canadian Deposit

GPT-6 Sol archived finding #844: at the Nov 21, 1889 Brantford hearing, Cayuga widow Mrs. George Monture recognized seals on the displayed treaty paper and recalled a round tin box in the Monture longhouse. She never read or handled the sheet, identified no unique reverse markings, and explicitly did not witness its handoff to Canadian officers—only heard of that from a chief.

The often-stated 1825 sighting is an age-based estimate, not a dated custody record. Primary: NY Senate Doc 58 pp.73–85.
