Conestoga (At the place of the immersed pole). An im- portant Iroquois Tribe formerly residing on the Susquehanna River, Pa., and its branches. They were formerly allied with the Lenni Lenapes, until their conquest by the Iroquois. They are described as warlike, and in physique superior to all of the neighboring Tribes. They had a stockade three miles below Columbia, Pa., which they erected as a means of defence against the Iroquois. The remnant of the Tribe was massacred by the whites in 1763, who had become infuriated by the Indians of the North and was the cause of much anxiety upon the part of the Philadelphia authorities. A party of whites did trail to said city and demanded the surrender of the Moravian Indians who had placed themselves under the protection of the State authorities.
