July 2007 - Hi Joyce, I was reading the history of Mansfield
and Richmond Township on your website. I came across the story of the Indians
mining salt. My father who has passed away, used to tell me that same story.
The Indians would camp in Canoe Camp and headorth East to what is now known
as Whitteker Road. My Great Great Grandfather Peter Whitteker was the first
settler in that area. The Indians became friends with him and his wife
and borrowed my Grandmother's large copper pot and would take it to hold
their salt. My father also said the Indians would post sentries along the
way to make sure their mine was never found by anyone else. When the Indians
came back,they would give my Grandparents a years supply of salt. If I
remember correctly, they did this every Spring. I thought you might find
this story interesting. Thanks,David Whitteker
