GEIES GENOBEY 



489 



Geies (or (leier). One of the non-Cad- 

 doan tribes reported by Father Damian 

 Mat^Kinet, coniisario for the missions of 

 Texas, on the road from Coahuihi (prob- 

 ably the presidio rather than the prov- 

 ince) to the Tejas (Texas) fonntry in 

 the 18th century. — Dictainen Fiscal, Mex- 

 ico, Nov. ;^0, 1716, cited bv H. E. Bolton, 

 inf'n, 190B. 



Gekelemukpechuenk. A Delaware vil- 

 lage in Ohio in 1770-73 and the residence 

 of Netawatwees, the principal chief of the 

 tribe. Perhaps identical with AVhite 

 Eyes' town. It was abandoned in 1773 

 or 1774, the inhabitants removing to Co- 

 shocton, on the E. side of the Muskingum, 

 which Netawatwees henceforth made his 

 chief residence. — Loskiel, ^Missions, 1794. 



Gelelemend ( ' leader ' ) . A Delaware 

 chief, born about 1722; known also as Kill- 

 buck, the name borne by his father, one 

 of the best educated Indians of his time. 

 He was chosen on the death of White 

 Eyes, about 1778, to succeed him as act- 

 ing chief of the nation during the minor- 

 ity of the hereditary sachem of the Turtle 

 orUnami division, having in the council 

 won a reputation for sagacity and discre- 

 tion. Like his predecessor he strove to 

 maintain friendship with the whites, and 

 was encourageil in this l)y the Indian 

 agents antl military commandants at Pitts- 

 burg, who promised the aid of the Ameri- 

 can Government in the uplifting and civ- 

 ilization of the Indians if lasting peace 

 could be effected. The war party, led by 

 Hopocan, prevailed, however, in the coun- 

 cil. Gelelemend was therefore invited 

 by the ofticer commanding the garrison to 

 remove with others of the peace party to 

 an island in Allegheny r. , where they 

 could be under the protection of the sol- 

 diery, but they were not protected from 

 a party of murderous white men that fell 

 upon them when returning from the mas- 

 sacre of nearly 100 Christian Delawares at 

 Gnadenhuetten in 1782, when the young 

 chief and all the others except a few were 

 slain. Gelelemend made his escape by 

 swimming, but the documents that Wil- 

 liam Penn had given to the Indians were 

 destroyed. His services were of value in 

 bringing about a general peace, but the 

 Munsee held him re.sponsible for the mis- 

 fortunes that had befallen the Delawares, 

 and to escape their vengeance he remained 

 with his family at Pittsburg long after 

 peace was proclaimed. He joined the Mo- 

 ravian Indians in the end and lived under 

 the protection of the settlement, still sed- 

 ulously avoiding his vindictive foes. He 

 was baptized by the name of William 

 Henry and lived till Jan., 1811.
