[218] See "A State of Facts about the Riots," in _New Jersey Archives_,

"the cause pretended for such a number of Indians coming to live
there is that they are to be taught the Christian religion by one
Mr. _Braniard_." Well he might! Any such occurrence was totally
unprecedented in the annals of the colony.
[219] See _Minutes of the Provincial Council of Penna._, Nov., 1742,
Vol. IV, 624-5, Further, on Tatemy who had been converted by Brainerd
and served him as interpreter, see Heckewelder, _Indian Nations_,

[220] The Heckewelder MSS., in the library of the Am. Philos Society,
give the results of the first twenty years, 1741-61, of the labors of
the Moravian brethren. In that period 525 Indians were converted and
baptized. Of these--163 were Connecticut Wampanos; 111 were Mahicanni
proper; 251 were Lenape. Some of the latter were of the New Jersey
Wapings.
