Another incident involving the Indians from the area is provided on pages 170-172 of Douglass’ History of Wayne County, OH.  It occurred at the Joseph Stibbs store managed by Michael Switzer.  About 5-6 Indians were gathered around a keg of powder smoking their pipes when a puff of wind came in to the window and blew a spark from one of the pipes into the powder.  The explosion killed one man and injured two others plus the Indians.  The Indians were fearful they would be blamed for causing the explosion on purpose that they called a council of citizens for an investigation into the incident.  It was held on the bottom of Christmas Run, just west of the town of Wooster at the time of the incident.

The Delawares were first discovered by the settlers in a settlement near the Delaware Valley.  Over a period of 100 years or so, they migrated into the Muskingum Basin (1768).  In 1795, the U.S. got possession of their lands and the Delawares moved across the Greenville Treaty line; followed by the small reservation in Marion and Wyandot Counties; followed by Wabash country in Indiana; then by 1819, into Kansas.

The Wyandots discovery originated with the 1535 landing of the French at Quebec and Montreal.  There was a great war between the Wyandots and the Senecas with the Wyandots coming out victorious.  By 29 September 1817, the Wyandots were granted a small tract of land in what is now Upper Sandusky, Wyandot Co, OH.  They also were granted a small parcel on Broken Sword Creek.  They disposed of their land by 1842 and moved west beyond the Mississippi River.
