Shannopin's Town. A former Dela- 

 ware village on Allegheny r., about 2 m. 

 above the junction with the Mononga- 

 hela, within the limits of the present city 

 of Pittsburg, Pa., between Penn ave. 

 and the river, and n. of Thirtieth st. 

 The locality was occupied by about 20 

 families of Dela wares in 1730, and was 

 named for the chief, Shanopin, who lived 

 there at that time. On account of its 

 situation on the trail between the Sus- 

 quehanna, Ohio, Beaver, and Musking- 

 um rs. , it was much frequented by In- 

 dian traders. In April 1730 Gov. Gordon 

 of Pennsylvania received a letter from 

 the chiefs of the Delawares at "Allee- 

 gaeening on the Main road," written by 

 Edmund Cartledge, James Le Tort, and 

 Joseph Davenport (three prominent 

 traders), telling of the death of a trader 

 named John Hartt, and requesting that 

 something be done to put a stop to the 

 unrestricted sale of rum and the coming 

 of so many traders into "the woods." 

 This letter was signed by mark by "Shaw- 

 annoppan" and others (Arch. Pa., i, 255, 

 1852). The same traders also wrote to the 

 Governor informing him of the abuse of 

 the Indian trade caused by thesaleof rum, 

 the Indians buying it with their peltries 

 and being unable to pay their debts to 

 the traders who made the comjilaint. 

 These Delawares then owed the traders 

 about £2,000 for goods which they had 

 purchased (ibid., 261). Thus early began 

 the trouble among the rival traders on 

 the Ohio, chiefly through the sale of 

 liquor. Conrad Weiser passed through 

 the place on his way to Logstown in 1748, 

 the Indians treating him with kindness 

 (Col. Rec. Pa., v. 348, 1851), and Shano- 

 pin attended the conference at that place. 

 The expedition of Celeron de Bienville 

 in the following year also stopped at the 

 place, which is noted on Bonnecamp's 

 map as "Village du Loups." Christo- 

 pher Gist, the agent of the Ohio Com- 

 pany, likewise stopped here in 1750 on 

 his way to the Muskingum, and recorded 

 in his journal: "The River Ohio is 76 

 Poles wide at Shannopin Town: There 

 are about twentv Families in this town" 

 (Darlington, Gist's Jour., 34, 1893). In 

 Lewis Evans's Analysis of Map of the 

 Middle Colonies (1775), he says (p. 25): 

 "At Shannopins there is a fording place 

 in very dry times and the lowest down 

 the river." The fording place, which 

 Gist crossed, was at this point, where the 

 Indian trail crossed the Allegheny, then 

 ran along near the location of East and 

 West Ohio sts. to Beaver ave. and on to 

 Logstown (see Gist's map). Washington 

 and Gist were both at the village in the 

 winter of 1753, when on their way to the 

 French fort at Venango. They swam 

 their horses across the Allegheny at this
