Greentown Delaware Village

Observers noted that there were more than one hundred and fifty dwellings at Greentown by 1812. Although considered peaceful, the intentions of the Greentown Indians were questioned during the War of 1812. Following General William Hull's surrender to the British at Detroit on August 18, 1812, residents were removed from Greentown for fear that they would aid "unfriendly" Indians. The removal is dated sometime between August 27 and September 3, 1812. Greentown residents were uncertain about what would occur after removal and were hesitant to obey the orders. Chief Armstrong was assured through the urging of James Copus, that Greentown's property would be inventoried and protected until peace ensued. However a faction of miltiamen who "assisted" in the removal stayed behind and set fire to the village. Consequently, the village remained essentially abandoned after the War of 1812.
