And the governor doth promise for himself and all his people to live in peace with the sd sachem and all his people. " 7. That in case an Indian doe wrong to a Christian in his person or estate, and complaint be made to the sachem, hee shall make full satisfaction; likewise if a Dutchman or Englishman shall wrong an Indian the governor shall make satis faction according to Equity." 1 The precise time at which settlement was made at Atkarkarton, now Kingston, is not known, although it is assumed that a fort or trading post was erected there as early as 1614. The reference in the text is to the first known European settlers who removed thither, in company with Capt. Thomas Chambers, from Panhoosic, now Troy, in 1652.
