[Robert S. Grumet (2014)] warriors against the British in 1755, a year after fighting broke out in western Pennsylvania that led to the last French and Indian War. The Delaware leader subsequently played a prominent part in treaty conferences mostly held at Easton between 1757 and 1762 that restored peace and adjudicated outstanding land disputes in the region. He became a supporter of the Pennsylvania proprietors, who arranged to have cabins built for him and his followers at Wyoming (see in Pennsylvania Central in Part 2 below) around the time that the Pennamite-Yankee disputes broke out into open conflict. Teedyuscung was burned to death when arsonists torched his cabin in 1763. and a garden in the South Kensington neighborhood. has also been recently applied to a residential development and its Beyond Manhattan, Robert S. Grumet 87 access road a few miles east of the place in Mechanicsville. KINGSESSING (Philadelphia County). The present-day Kingsessing neighborhood was first noted as the Delaware Indian community of Kingsessingh whose sachems attended a meeting with New Sweden governor Johann Risingh on June 5, 1654 (in A. Johnson 1925:126). Lindeström entered the name in the form Kinsissingh at its present location on the northwest bank of the Schuylkill River in downtown Philadelphia on his 1655 map (in A. Johnson 1925: Map A, 330-331). Swedish colonists established a village they called Kingsesse just beyond the walls of Fort Nya Vasa built at the locale in 1646. In 1681, Kingsesse was selected as the meeting place of the regional Upland court. William Penn established the Township of Kingsessing in the area shortly after founding Philadelphia in 1683. The place was also known as Penrose Ferry Crossing during the colonial era. Kingsessing Township was one of the many municipalities incorporated into Philadelphia following passage of the Act of Consolidation in 1854. Today, Kingessing serves as a city neighborhood and street name. LENAPE (Berks, Bucks, Chester, Delaware, and Monroe counties). Places in Pennsylvania named Lenape within their ancestral homeland include the communities of Lenape Village in Bucks County, and Lenni, a village in the county of Delaware whose residents adopted the first part of Lenni Lenape, a long version of the name. Bodies of water given the name include Lenni Lake in the village of Lenni, Lenni Lenape Run in nearby Chester, Lenape Lake in Berks, and Lake Lenape and Lenni Trail in Monroe. LENNI LENAPE. See LENAPE MANATAWNY (Berks County). Heckewelder (1834:356) thought that Manatawny was a Delaware Indian word, menetónink, “where we drank (were drunk).” Manatawny first appeared as the name of the 10,000-acre Morlatton Tract located near present-day Pottstown that William Penn granted to Swedish settlers in 1701. The presentday Morlatton Village restoration centers around the Mouns Jones House in the village of Douglassville. Colonists began referring to the Morlatton Tract area as Manatawny by 1707 (State of Pennsylvania 1838-1935, Pennsylvania Archives, Colonial Records 2:390). to land in the area (State of Pennsylvania 1838-1935, Pennsylvania Archives, 1st Series 1:28), it was more precisely located in November 13, 1677, as “a little creek which comes out of Amesland Creeke [present-day Darby Creek] called Mohurmipati” (Armstrong 1860:71). NAAMAN (Delaware County). Naaman’s Creek and paralleling Naaman Creek Road wind along Pennsylvania’s border with Delaware. Both bear the name of a seventeenth-century Delaware Indian sachem whose memory is also marked by several places named Nummy in southern New Jersey. NESHAMINY (Bucks and Montgomery counties). Heckewelder (1834:355) thought that Neshaminy sounded much like a Delaware Indian word, neshâmhanne, “two streams making one.” Neshaminy Creek is a 41-mile-long tributary of the Delaware River whose main stem is formed by the junction of its North and West Branch headwaters at the Borough of Chalfont. Lindeström noted a stream he identified as Kikimenskÿl at the present location of Neshaminy The red shale ridge known as the Palisades just below Kintnersville is still called the Nockamixon Rocks or Cliffs. Dams across the upper reaches of Tohickon Creek (see below) first planned in 1958 ultimately created Lake Nockamixon and 5,283-acre Nockamixon State Park established on the lake’s shores in 1973. Camp Nock-AMixon, a privately owned campground opened in 1981, and several other locales in the area also continue to bear the name. OCKANICKON (Bucks County). Heckewelder (1834:383) thought that the name of noted seventeenth-century sachem Ockanickon came from a Delaware Indian word, wôâkenícan, “an iron hook, pot hook.” Ockanickon was one of several brothers and other relatives, whose number included Sehoppy (Heckewelder thought that the latter man’s name may have come from the Delaware Indian words, schiwachpí, “tired or staying [in one place],” or schéyachbi, “along the water’s edge or sea shore”), who served as leaders of communities located between New York Harbor and the midDelaware River valley. Ockanickon’s 1682 eloquent deathbed speech, in which he disowned his designated successor Sehoppy in favor of his brother’s son, Jahkursoe (Cripps 1682) made
