There were two chiefs known by the name of Killbuck, the younger of whom was the more famous. His Indian name was Gelelemend, and he was a grandson of the great chief Netawatwes. Born near Lehigh Water Gap in the decade 1730-40, he removed to the Allegheny with the Delawares, and later to the Muskingum, where was a village called Killbuck’s Town. Like White Eyes, he was a firm friend of peace and of the whites, and his life was imperilled because of this advocacy. He joined the Moravians, and was baptized as William Henry, about 1788. Later he removed to Pittsburg to secure protection from his enemies, but died at Goshen in 1811. A lineal descendant of Killbuck is at present a Moravian missionary in Alaska.—ED. [46] That is, go on steadily with this good work of establishing a peace.—[C. T.?] [47] Meaning the _Cherokees_.—[C. T.?] [48] Some of the first _English_ speech, that the _Indians_ learn from the traders, is swearing.—[C. T.?] [49] Heckewelder testifies that Shingas, though a dreaded foe in battle, was never known to treat prisoners cruelly. See his _Indian Nations_, Historical Society of Pennsylvania _Memoirs_ (Philadelphia, 1876), xii, pp. 269, 270.—ED. [50] The Indians, having plenty of land, are no niggards of it. They sometimes give large tracts to their friends freely; and when they sell it, they make most generous bargains. But some _fraudulent purchases_, in which they were grossly imposed on, and some _violent intrusions_, imprudently and wickedly made without purchase, have rendered them jealous that we intend finally to take all from them by force. We should endeavour to recover our credit with them by fair purchases and honest payments; and then there is no doubt but they will readily sell us, at reasonable rates, as much, from time to time, as we can possibly have occasion for.—[C. T.?] [51] The agreement made with _Teedyuscung_, that he should enjoy the _Wioming_ lands, and have houses built there for him and his people.—[C. T.?] [52] The army under _General Forbes_.—[C. T.?] [53] The _Indian_ traders used to buy the transported _Irish_, and other convicts, as servants, to be employed in carrying up the goods among the _Indians_. The ill behaviour of these people has always hurt the character of the _English_ among the _Indians_.—[C. T.?] [54] No spy among his enemies.—[C. T.?] [55] That is, since we had a friendly intercourse with each other. The frequent repetition of the word, _Brethren_, is the effect of their rules of politeness, which enjoin, in all conversations, a constant remembrance of the relation subsisting between the parties, especially where that relation implies any affection, or respect. It is like the perpetual repetitions among us, of _Sir_, or, _Madam_, or, _Your Lordship_. In the same manner the _Indians_ at every sentence repeat, _My Father_, _My Uncle_, _My Cousin_, _My Brother_, _My Friend_, &c.—[C. T.?]
