Are these the Seneca/Saponi Treaty that you were thinking of?

…By the treaty of Albany (1722) the Iroquois agreed to stop incursions on the Virginia Indians and, probably about 1740, the greater part of the Saponi and the Tutelo moved north stopping for a time at Shamokin, Pa., about the site of Sunbury. One band, however, remained in the south, in Granville County, N. C., until at least 1756, when they comprised 14 men and 14 women. In 1753 the Cayuga Iroquois formally adopted this tribe and the Tutelo….

…Finally, Governor Spotswood, hoping to put an end to the warfare between the Iroquois and the southern tribes, in 1722 promoted the Albany (N.Y.) Conference, at which a peace treaty was signed by the Five Nations of the Iroquois and their allies, the Tuscarora, Shawnee, and others on the one hand, and by Virginia and its tributary Indians on the other. Thus the long war ended and peace finally came in Virginia to “the Nottoways, Meherrins, Nansemonds, Pamunkeys, Chichominys, and the Christanna Indians” ~ called ‘Todirich-roones’ by the Iroquois, and comprising ‘the Saponies, Ockineeckees, Stenkenocks [Stegarakes], Meipontskys, [Ontponeas] & Toteroes,’ all of whom were grouped at “Sapponey Indian town,” which was “about a musket-shot from the fort.'”…

If you click on “Treaty of Middle Plantation” and then scroll down to the bottom, it lists who signed and which tribe they were representing.
