This era would predate any Federal records held by the National Archives.
We suggest contacting the Pennsylvania Historical & Museum Commission for possible records in their custody. Also, please review Native American Tribes of Pennsylvania; Native American-Pennsylvania Relations, 1754-89; and The Indians of Pennsylvania for information and resources.
We hope this is helpful. Best of luck with your research!
