Delawares moving into the new community they built across from its destroyed predecessor in 1815 christened the place New Fairfield. Their community, generally known as Moraviantown by the second quarter of the nineteenth century, is today officially identified as Moravian Indian Reserve No. 47. MUNCEY (Middlesex County). Muncey Road (Highway 11) connects the Munsee-Delaware Nation Reserve on the south with the Chippewa of the Thames Reserve farther north. The MunseeDelaware First Nation Reserve was the site of the Muncey Town Indian communities established along the Thames River during the nineteenth centuries. MUNSEE (Haldimand and Middlesex counties) Munsee Street in the Haldimand County seat of Cayuga runs through an area occupied by Munsee Indian people who accompanied Iroquois Loyalist refugees from New York. Now much diminished, the Six Nations Reserve set aside for Loyalist Iroquois, Munsees, and their affiliates in 1796 originally encompassed a sizable tract of land stretching outward along both banks of the Grand River.

Spanish authorities formally set aside a 25-square-mile reservation for both expatriate communities in the area in 1793. Subsequently known as Absentees in reference to their absenting themselves from their nation’s main bodies, Delawares and Shawnees living on the Apple Creek reservation mostly left the area around 1815. Former residents of the reservation subsequently conveyed their rights to land at Apple Creek to federal authorities at the Treaty of Castor Hill signed at St. Louis on October 26, 1832 (Oklahoma State University Library 1999-2000). Many Absentee Delawares who had lived at Apple Creek had long ago moved to new homes in eastern Texas by the time the treaty was signed. One of their number, a man named Black Beaver, Suck-tum-mah-kway, (see below in Texas and Oklahoma), born in Illinois in 1808, subsequently became a prominent Absentee Delaware leader (Weslager 1972:363-364). Other former Delaware residents of the Apple Creek reserve rejoined the main body that moved from Indiana to southwestern Missouri during the early 1820s. Among the Absentees who made the move was a man named Meshe Kowhay, or Captain Patterson. The father of Black Beaver, Captain Patterson, became the principal leader of the main body of the Delaware nation in Kansas after William Anderson (see above in Indiana) died in 1831 (Weslager 1972:369). Today, places like Delaware Town Road, Delaware Street, of Delaware and its surrounding township (erected in 1870) in Shannon County, are both named for a stream, formerly known as Delaware Creek, and now called Indian Creek (O’Brien 1939). Streets named Delaware closer to the Oklahoma state line in the Newton County municipalities of Neosho and Seneca further note the nation’s presence in the southwestern corner of Missouri. Most members of the Delaware main body in Missouri moved to another reservation set aside for them in Kansas shortly after signing a treaty surrendering their lands along the James River valley on September 24, 1829 (Oklahoma State University Library 1999-2000). Missouri State University (1995-2005) archaeological investigators looking into the history of these Delaware towns have conducted excavations at several sites associated with the Delaware main body’s sojourn in the area. munity of Avilla in Jasper County, preserve the memory of the prominent Turtle phratry Delaware leader whose name in English 139 WISCONSIN Indians call their reservation Moh-He-Con-Nuck, “place where the waters are never still,” a reference to the tidal Hudson River that AT-TOH-WUK (Shawano County).
