Quinney (J.) and Aupaumut(H.) — Con. 

 Hendrick, however, remained behind until Sep- 

 tember, 1829, when he too removed to Green Bay 

 with his family. The date of his death has not 

 been ascertained, but it probably happened not 

 long after. 



During his residence at New Stockbridge, 

 Capt. Hendrick compiled and wrote in English 

 the traditional history of the " Muh-he con-nuk 

 ■ Nation." Some fragments of this curious and 

 interesting work have been preserved in Dr. 

 Dwight's Travels (New Haven, 1821-22), and in 

 Jones's Stockbridge (Springfield, 1854). 



After the death of Solomon Aupaumut, about 

 the year 1823, John Metoxin was made sachem, 

 which office he held for a dozen or more years. 

 In 1833 and 1834, by treaty with the government, 

 the Stockbridge Indians were obliged to re- 

 move from the Fox Kiver to the east side of 

 Lake "Winnebago, where the body of the tribe 

 remained until the present reservation was se- 

 lected for them about seven miles west of Ke- 

 shena, Shawano County, Wisconsin. In 1839, a 

 company of seventy or eighty individuals sep- 

 arated from the tribe and emigrated to lands 

 set apart for the Delaware Indians, five miles 

 below Fort Leavenworth, on the Missouri River. 

 In May, 1851, the tribe numbered 235, including 



Quinney (J. ) and Aupaumut (H. )— Con. 

 the little colony in Missouri, which had become 

 reduced to twenty -fl ve or thirty persona. Those 

 who had become citizenized were 71. At that 

 time it was related that ■ ' their own language has 

 gone very nearly out of use for want of a native 

 literature, and the English only is taught. " In 

 1881 their number had decreased to 135. 



After the removal from New York, the first 

 missionary who visited them at (Brreen Bay was 

 Eev. Jesse Miner, in 1827, but he died about two 

 years later. In 1829 Rev. Cutting Marsh was 

 sent to them as minister, and Mr. Jedediah 

 Stevens and his wife as teachers. In 1834, Rev. 

 Chauncey Hall and Mrs. Hall joined the mis- 

 sion. Mr. Marsh resigned the care of the In- 

 dian church in 1849 to Rev. Jeremiah Slinger- 

 land, who was a native of the tribe and the 

 adopted son of deacon Joseph Quinney. Mr. 

 Slingerland had received a theological educa- 

 tion at Bangor, Maine. He was still minister 

 of the church on the Stockbridge Indian reser- 

 vation in 1881.
