The other instruments — negatives proven from their own texts

Every other candidate is excluded from its own words. 1818: the St. Mary's series holds two instruments — the Potawatomi treaty of 2 October 1818 (7 Stat. 185), ceding the Wabash country between the Tippecanoe and the Vermilion plus a claim south of the Wabash; and the Miami treaty of 6 October 1818 (7 Stat. 189), ceding the New Purchase of central Indiana on calls running from the Wabash to the Fort Wayne reserves and Fort Recovery. Neither reaches this ground.1826, the Potawatomi treaty of 16 October (7 Stat. 295): both its cessions are excluded — the first is the Fort Wayne country on the St. Joseph of the Miami, and the second is the ten-mile strip west of the 1821 boundary the calls article works. 1826, the Miami treaty of 23 October (7 Stat. 300): a claim cession — the Miami cede "all their claim to land in the State of Indiana, north and west of the Wabash and Miami rivers" — which draws no polygon over Clay Township and plants none of its reserves or schedule grants here; the caution that rides with it in the tribes fragment stands: its schedule's "St. Joseph" is the St. Joseph of the Maumee at Fort Wayne, not this valley's river. 1828, the Treaty of St. Joseph of 20 September (7 Stat. 317): the first cession never descends south of the state line; the second starts on the 1817 line and hangs south of it — the cession that takes Lakeville — while Indian Village lies north of the line; its Article 3 grants are confined to that second cession. Both negatives proven from the calls — and with them falls any 1828 attribution for this town, the very class of error the county sequence's re-examination has now corrected at four sister towns. 1832, Tippecanoe, 26 October (7 Stat. 394 — the 27 October instrument at 7 Stat. 399 is a separate treaty, and the two are not merged here): its calls run from the 1828 cession's corner south and west through the Tippecanoe country that takes North Liberty and Walkerton, outside every call of which this town, north of the 1817 line, stands clear. 1833, Chicago (7 Stat. 431), carried at pointer: the western-shore cession and a supplement extinguishing Michigan reserves — no cession and no reserve in Indiana at this latitude.
