Here is an example of what you might see.

 

The journals of the Virginia council for 18 Mar. 1757 include the following entry:

 

“The Council being informed that the potent Warriour Hagler King of the Catawba Nation was arrived near Town with two of his great Men, Peter Randolph Esqr. by Desire of the Board withdrew and proceeded in a Coach to meet them, and having accompanied them to the Capitol, they were introduced into the Council Chamber with six and twenty more of the Catawbas, who came here the Wednesday before [16 Mar.], and Robert Vaughan Interpreter; King Hagler, after he and his Attendants had taken all the Council by the Hand, and their Seats, expressed himself to the following Purpose.” Among other things, Hagler told the council that he brought with him between eighty and ninety more warriors and had left them “upon the Frontiers” (Exec. Journals of Virginia Council, 6:31–32). On 19 Mar. William Fairfax, president of the council, promised the Catawba the required supplies.
