Pusheta Creek
[edit]I'll bet Pusheta Creek, which "was named after an Indian chief who settled there," is named after Peteusha, and thus, indirectly, so is Pusheta Township, Auglaize County, Ohio. Hard to say if there's a source somewhere that confirms or denies this. Kevin1776 (talk) 07:12, 28 November 2021 (UTC)
- Looks like I'm mistaken. It was named for Pasheto, a younger man. He was a Shawnee warrior who fought alongside Tecumseh at the Battle of the Thames (Sugden, Tecumseh, p. 370). He was one of the many Shawnees named as being granted individual allotments in the Wapakoneta reservation in the Treaty of St. Mary's (1818), though he was not a chief who signed the treaty. The History of Auglaize County, Ohio says, "The name of this township and of the principal stream which flows through it were given in honor of the Indian chief who directed the affairs of that clan of the Shawnees which made their hunting grounds there. In the text of the treaty at the foot of the Rapids of the Maumee in which this reservation was allotted, the name of this chief is spelled Pasheto. Henry Harvey's History of the Shawnees renders it Pesheto. Professor Williamson's review carries the observation that "it is not known who took upon himself the responsibility of writing it Pusheta."
