The New York–Cayuga agreement reproduced as “State Treaty with the Cayugas, 1789” opens dated February 25, 1789 (Senate Doc 58 / 1890, printed p.129). The preamble of the separately reproduced July 27, 1795 Cayuga Ferry treaty describes that Albany predecessor as February 25, “one thousand seven hundred and eighty-eight” (printed p.136). Both page images checked. This is a conflict in the 1890 Senate printing, not evidence of a second 1788 treaty, manuscript authorship of the error, or invalidity of either instrument.

Bound claim: cross-reference year mismatch in the legislative reprint. Does not invent a 1788 treaty, assign blame, or settle annuity/land questions. Distinct June/July 1795 mismatch in the later 1831 model draft is Finding #893.

Primary: NY Senate Doc 58 (1890) p.129 / p.136. Repo: 1795-cayuga-treaty-predecessor-date-discrepancy. Standing 375 held.
