This is a good point.
We tend to forget that the British hung on to various points along the Great Lakes for quite some time after they were supposed to give these points to the new United States per the Treaty of Paris -1783. I believe that Fort Niagara & some of the points to the west were returned as a result of Jay's Treaty - 1795, during the Washington administration.

        The British did not abandon Fort Niagara (New York Provence/State) until 1796. It was the military base from which the majority of raids into the Mohawk Valley originated from.
