. Dunmore appointed a resident of Pennsylvania as a Virginia militia captain and ordered him to seize Pittsburgh. Captain John Connolly then occupied the ruins of Fort Pitt, declared Fort Dunmore, and issued orders to the local residents to muster in service of Virginia. He was arrested. In the struggle that followed with Penn, Murray argued that he had an obligation to protect the western frontier from Indian attacks and the charter authority to make policy in the disputed region. He sent surveyors into the area and instigated conflicts with the Lenape and Shawnee to encourage settler violence as a pretense for war. He readied an army of more than two thousand men.
