While we know our northern friends may not feel it, in the South, Spring is
here. So we thought we'd share a few of our gardening sites appropriate
for this time of the year. Along with gardening, there's grilling, and getting
ready to diet so that you can fit back into that bathing suit this summer!
A complete listing of all the Indian villages,
towns and settlements as listed in Handbook of Americans North of Mexico.
Beavertown. A village, probably be longing to the
Delawares, situated in 1766 on the E. side of the extreme E. head branch of
Hocking r., at or near the present Beavertown, in Morgan co., Ohio. Beaver, or
King Beaver, was at that time chief of the Unami tribe of Delawares. (j. M. )
Blanchard's Fork. By the treaty of Maumee Rapids, in
1819, a part of the
Ottawa living in Ohio were given a reservation on Blanchard's fork of the
Auglaize, in Ohio, and became known officially as the Ottawa of Blanchard's
Fork. They sold their land in 1831 and removed to Kansas, and later to Indian
Territory, where, with some others of the same tribe, they numbered 179 in 1904.
Bullets Town.
Marked on Hutchin's map in Bouquet's Exped.,
1766, as in Coshocton co., Ohio, on both
sides of Muskingum r., about half way
between Walhonding r. and Tomstown. Probably
a Delaware village.
