Nemacolin - From the article
After his father [Checkoconnicon] became old, Nemacolin became Chief of 160 warriors (not including women and children) and he moved his tribe from Uniontown area to Fort Redstone, PA (now known as Brownsville, PA). It was during this time that the Virginia Government asked Thomas Cresap to blaze a trail through the mountains from Cumberland, MD to Fort Pitt (now Pittsburgh, PA). This was to help the westward movement of the Ohio Company to the Ohio River and the State of Ohio for development of white communities. In 1751 Thomas Cresap asked his friend Nemacolin to help him in blazing this trail. He knew that Nemacolin would know the easiest way over the mountains, Nemacolin and his sons, Lonacona and William proceeded to Oldtown, MD, to help Cresap map out the old Indian trail leading to Ft. Redstone, PA. on the Monongahela River. This trail became known as Nemacolin's Path and then the National Road (Rt. 40) in 1806. When Thomas had successfully mapped out the trail, he left Nemacolin in Ft. Redstone to travel back to his home in Oldtown, MD. Nemacolin's son Lonacona (born before 1738 in Ft. Redstone) asked permission from his father to return to Maryland, as he had become good friends with Daniel Cresap, Thomas' oldest son, and wished to live near him in Rawlings, MD. Nemacolin gave his permission, and Lonacona took his Delaware wife and family back with Daniel. Thomas Cresap had named Lonacona, George Washington Cresap to protect him from white violence. The town of Lonaconing, MD - south of Frostburg, MD - was named for Lonacona. Georges Creek was also named for him. Lonacona died around 1790 in the home of his friend Dan, and he is buried in the Cresap Cemetery in Rawlings, MD. Lonacona's daughter Teresa married William Workman of Mt. Savage, MD. Later, William moved his family to Kerens, WV.

Teedyuscung
- English name Honest John,
Because of his unusual abilities and influence among the Indians in the
Susquehanna Valley, he became known among the Whites as "King of the
Delaware." He was born about 1700 in New Jersey, the son of Captain
Harris. He was a broom maker. About 1730 he moved to the Forks of the
Delaware. He had a son Captain Bull.
(Lenape Nation on the Web) Teedyuscung died about 1763.
(William M. Fowler, Jr., The French and Indian
War and the Struggle for North America, 1754-1763) "Aging,
overweight and reputed to drink too much, Teedyuscung remained one of
the most remarkable men of eighteenth-century America. (p. 158) No
eastern tribe suffered more from European oppression than the Delaware;
nor did they escape persecution from their northern neighbors, the
Iroquois, who called the Delaware "women" and lusted after their lands.
Caught between their own kin and the invading Europeans. the Delaware
were pushed constantly about. Teedyuscung experienced all this turmoil.
Born near present-day Trenton, New Jersey, he and his family were pushed
west by the expanding settlements. They finally settled at the forks of
the Delaware River, where his father led the village of Pocopoco. Neat
that village Teedyuscung witnessed one of the most outrageous Indian
land swindles in American history: the Delaware Walking Purchase." (p.
159) Although he styled himself "king of the Delaware," Teedyuscung had
no ancestral right to leadership. His skill was in his ability to
balance among Delaware, Iroquois, French, and English. Amid a people who
admired oratory, Teedyuscung was a star. Like Pitt in Parliament, he
could spellbind an audience with his eloquence, passion, wit, and
sarcasm. In 1750 Teedyuscung delivered himself and his family to be
baptized at the Moravian Christian mission at Gnadenhutten. A few years
later he made another political shift to broaden his base of friends. He
allied himself with the Iroquois. As the French made their move into the
Ohio valley, Teedyuscung sidled up to them as well. In the violent days
following Braddock's defeat, he led his people to war against the
British, and for several months Teedyuscung and his warriors ravaged the
Pennsylvania frontier. [Which after all was their Homeland!] (p. 160)
On April 19, 1763. he and his wife burned to death when their cabin
[perhaps in the Wyoming Valley of Pennsylvania] was engulfed in a fire
of suspicious origin." (p. 244)
