An Indian town was once located on the banks of the Blanchard river, at what is known as Indian Green, six miles west of Findlay.
     The place is owned, at present, by R. B. Worden.
     When the country was first settled, the remains of their rude houses could still be seen, and as late as 1845 the village was well defined.  Judge Jacob F. Burket, then a young boy, frequently had the grave of "The Old Chief" pointed out to him from the roadside.  In 1901, two men were grading the road at this place, and unexpectedly plowed up a copper bucket and a number of interesting relics, along with the skeleton of the old chief.  The bucket held one quart, and had a tight copper lid on, with an iron bail, and is what is known in the north as a "Hudson Bay bucket."  Such buckets were then, and are now, a regular article of trade between the Hudson Bay Fur Company and the Indians.
     In the bucket were two small wooden dishes, made of boxwood.  One had a handle like a butter ladle, and the other was round, like a small, deep saucer.  They were perfectly dry and well preserved, and had evidently been obtained in some raid, as they were hand made.  A large number of silver ornaments were found, including a round silver breast plate, six inches in diameter, finely engraved, with a row of inverted hearts cut through and running clear around the ornament; also a medallion, which had two lockets fastened to it by ribbons, with an engraved turkey on the underside.  The lockets were oblong in shape, and about an inch long by two-thirds of an inch wide.  Each locket opened on both sides.  The medallion was about two and one half inches in diameter.
     A pewter dish about eight inches in diameter, together with some brass buttons, a number of thin silver rinds which evidently had been sewed on his clothes as ornaments, a brass cup which was evidently used to melt lead in (it had been gun flint, two flint arrowheads and three large metal belt buckles, were also found.
     A fine pipe tomahawk was by his side.  It was made of splendid steel and was evidently highly finished, as it still shows evidences of a high order of workmanship.  Along with it were found three knives, one of them shaped like the traditional scalping-knife; a lot of beads, two silver bracelets, two inches wide, finely ribbed and engraved; two silver ear-rings, and a small pear of scissors.  Remnants of some gaily colored cloth were also found.  The silverware was all stamped "P. C. Montreal."

     It has sometimes been thought that this might be the unknown grave3 Chief Turkey Foot, who was killed at the battle of Fallen Timbers, in 1794. evidence is circumstantial and only guess work, but it is plausible.
     First - The Blanchard river is a fork of the Maumee, on whose banks Tur foot was killed, near Maumee.   The Indians always removed their dead to the homes when possible, and as Turkey Foot's body was not left on the battlefield what would have been easier than for them to bring his body in a canoe to place of burial, and no more beautiful spot could have been found than Indian Green.
     Second. - The relics found show that a chief of importance was buried there.
     Third. -  The condition of the cloth, ribbons, wooden dishes and the multitude of other things show that they had not been buried a great while before the country was settled.
     Fourth. -  The engraved turkey is at least a strong circumstance, then tane connection with the other facts
     All of the articles are now owned by H. F. Burket of Findlay, the well known attorney, who obtained them from Mr. John Collingwood, who plowed them.  Mr. Burket has also the largest collection of Indian stone implements n county.
