On This Day: In 1791 Delaware and Wyandot Natives successfully attacked and defeated an Ohio Company of Associates settlement on their traditional lands. The attack took place near present-day Stockport now in Morgan County, Ohio. The Ohio Company of Associates was a group of people from New England who purchased land from the United States and promoted Western expansion. The Company never properly obtained the land from the Native people, and tensions quickly rose as more an...d more settlers moved onto traditional lands of the Delaware and Wyandot peoples. The attack is known as a massacre in standard history books because of the twelve settlers that were killed. No mention, however, is made in history books or on historical markers about the illegal taking and settling of the Native land, nor the violation of two previous treaties between the tribes and the U.S. government.
