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
