LORAMIE HAD NO TENDER FEELINGS FOR AMERICANS...Pg 2 |
| "Soon after this
Loramie, with a colony of the Shawanese, emigrated to the Spanish territories, west of the
Mississippi, and settled in a spot assigned them at the junction of the Kansas and
Missouri, where the remaining part of the nation from Ohio have at different times joined
them. "In 1794 a fort was built at the place occupied by Loramie’s store by Wayne, and named Fort Loramie. The site of
Loramie’s store was a prominent point in the Greene Ville Treaty boundary line. The
farm of the heirs of the late James Furrows now (1846) covers the spot." (Farm of the
recently deceased Ferd Fleckenstein.)
