After the killing of Conestoga Indians in south central Pennsylvania (December, 1763), colonial governor John Penn placed other Indians into protective custody in Lancaster. When these Indians were also killed by a mob, Penn issued warrants for the arrest of the ringleaders of the vigilante group known as the Paxton Boys. However, the only British troops were garrisoned at Philadelphia, and the local backwoodsmen (often fearful of the Indians themselves) refused to cooperate with the authorities. This and other incidents led to the segregation of Indian tribes to locations outside colonial borders.
