More on the subject of the Indian problem: The immigrants, now known as Scotch-Irish, did not come as soon as the Germans and Swiss. Few if any came prior to 1719 and they settled on disputed lands in Maryland and Pennsylvania. Some later went to Virginia. The authorities in Philadelphia complained of these people as "bold and indigent strangers." that in 1725 at least 100,000 acres of land in and beyond the Welsh Tract and German properties were possessed "by persons (including Germans) who set down and improved it (Indian and Pennsylvania lands) without any right to it." It was difficult to dispossess them. In 1730 the Government in Philadelphia again complained of the so called Irish Invasion as "audacious and disorderly" for having by force, taken possession of the Conestoga Manor of some 15,000 acres. More than once the Sheriff expelled them and burned the cabins. Lloyd
