Gelelemend, or kill-buck 1737-1811

A chief of the Delaware Indians; born in Pennsylvania in 1737. During the Revolutionary War he did all in his power to keep his people neutral, a stand which aroused the animosity of those in his tribe who had joined the English. In 1788 he joined the Moravian mission in Salem, O., receiving the name of William Henry. He died in Goshen, O., in 1811.
