Marian, There was a Lenape Indian tribe ( part of the Delaware Nation ) that were among the largest and strongest in the early colonial days. They covered an area from Mass to VA and with the arrival of the colonists, they did migrate westward through PA and Western VA and into OH. They are a recognized tribe in OH. They have a cultural center in Allantown PA.
