Jones, Peter ( Kahkewaquonaby, Kahke- 

 wagwonnaby). A mixed-blood JNIissis- 

 auga chief, missionarv, and author; born 

 Jan. 1, 1802, died June29, 1856. Hisfather 

 was a white man of Welsh descent named 

 Augustus Jones, who maintained the 

 closest friendship with Brant during the 

 latter' s life. Peter's mother was Tuh- 

 benahneeguay, daughter of Wahbanosay, 

 a chief of the Missisauga on Credit r., at 

 the extreme w. end of L. Ontario, where, 

 on a tract of land known as Burlington 

 heights, Peter and hisljrother John were 

 born. He remained with his tribe, fol- 

 lowing their customs and accompanying 

 them on their excursions, until his 16th 

 year, when his father, who was then a 

 government surveyor, had him baptized 

 by Rev. Ralph Leeming, an English Epis- 

 copal minister, at the JNIohawk church 

 on (irand r., near Brantford, Ont. Hav- 

 ing professed religion at a campmeet- 

 ing held near Ancaster, Ont., and taken 

 an active part in the religious exercises of 

 the Wesleyan Methodist Church, Peter 

 was sent on a missionary tour, in 1827, to 

 L. Simcoe, St Clair, Muncey, and other 

 points in w. Ontario, although not yet 

 ordained. He had by this time entered 

 upon his literary work, as in this year was 

 published a hymn book translated by 

 him into Chippewa. He was constituted 

 a deacon of the AYesleyan jNIethodist 

 conference in 1830, and as minister by 

 Rev. George Marsden at the Toronto 

 conference in 1833. The remainder of 

 his life was devoted chiefly to missionary 

 W'Ork among the Missisauga and Chip- 

 pewa, and to some extent among the 

 Iroquois. His position as a Christian 

 pastor and ruling chief of his tribe gave 

 him great influence, not only among his 

 own people, but among all the Chippewa 

 tribes. He Ansited England and New 

 York, and made repeated journeys to 

 Toronto in the prosecution of his work 

 and in behalf of his people. It was 

 largely through his efforts that the titles 

 of the Credit Indians to their lands were 

 perfected. Although inured to out-tloor 

 life and of a somewhat robust frame, his 

 constitution began to yield to excessive 

 exposures, resulting in his death, near 

 Brantford, in 1856. A monument was 

 erected to his memory, in 1857, with the 

 inscription: "Erected by the Ojibeway 

 and other Indian tribes to their revered 

 and beloved chief, Kalikewaquonaby (the
