Terms of Peace in Dunmore’s War

Purdie and Dixon's Virginia Gazette reported on the terms of peace at the close of Dunmore’s War in the December 8, 1774, edition of the newspaper. The prediction that the terms “cannot fail of giving general Satisfaction, as they confine the Indians to Limits that entirely remove the Grounds of future Quarrel between them and the People of Virginia” did not prove to be true. The four “Shawanese Warriors” who were delivered to Williamsburg as prisoners have been identified by historian Colin Calloway as Wissecapoway, who was a son of the Shawnee leader Cornstalk, Chenusaw, who later escaped, Cutenwha, and Newa, who both remained in Williamsburg.
