Delaware (Lenape) in the 1780 Kentucky raids

The 1778 Treaty of Fort Pitt briefly allied some Delawares with the United States, then collapsed after White Eyes’s death and American attacks on Delaware towns.

In summer 1780, Capt. Henry Bird’s British–Native column came up the Licking with artillery; Delaware warriors were among the nations that took Ruddle’s and Martin’s stations, dividing captives toward Detroit until exchanges after Greenville (1795). Sources differ on Bird’s rank: Wikipedia’s account of Bird’s invasion gives Captain Henry Bird, while the ExploreKYHistory article cited here calls him “Colonel Henry Byrd.”
