June, 1790 - Murder of 2 Seneca Indians by the Walker brothers. This was a revenge murder. The Walker brothers father was murdered 10 years before this event. In June of 1790 the 2 Seneca Indians were boasting about the murder of the Walkers father in a tavern. The Walkers murdered the 2 braves.

The Seneca’s demanded justice for the death of their braves. Something needed to be done to prevent war.

President Washington wrote to Timothy Pickering to met on behalf of the United States and assure the Senecas the murders were displeasing to the United States.

Goods for treaty sent to Hollenback’s trading post.
