Wasn't the settling of the border between Maryland and Pennsylvania, the Mason/Dixon line sort of a border war also?? It seems to me there were several "border wars"..at least on paper...

Or were the border wars referred to perhaps the aftermath of the Seven Years' War and Pontiac's Rebellion. This led to the tensions that resulted in the burning of Hannastown and many of the earliest white settlers returning east in the 1780s. -smb
