INCIDENTS IN THE WILLIAMS BOURBON
CONTROVERSY,
[From the Ereming Post. !


Two years ago Doctor Peter Wilson, of the
Seneca nation, went to Franklin county to aid in the
prevention of the difficulties usually occurring at
payment to the ST. Regis Indians of their portion of
the annuity from the United States. These Indians,
it is generally known, not distinct people, but
the descendants of Iroquos, who embraced Roman
Catholicism, and withdrew century since from
their national association with the tribes of the Six
Nations. They are principally Onondagas, Cayu-
gas and Scnecas. On his return DR.. Wilson stated
to a gentleman in Albany, that the old Indians at
the ST. Regis reservation objected strongly to the
payment of any part of the annuity to the Rev.
Eleazar Williams, whom they declared to be no In
dian, and called a stranger. The doctor stopped at
Fort Covington where old squaw told him that
she knew Mr.. Williams when he was little bov
She visited the hut of Thomas Williams, his rcpu-
ted father, one afternoon, when the old man was
from home. He presently returned with some states
and writing paper. The boy Eleazar took slate and
pencil and wrote upon it ''Louis Charles,' to the
great surprise of those present. She also assured
the doctor that she knew of the circumstance Of
Elcazars fall from a high rock into the water, when
in idiotic condition. and of his recovery from the
shock with the full of his faculties Doctor
Wilson was, and probably is a believer in the theo
ry that Louis XVII. and the Rev. Eleazar Williams
are the same individual.
