Below is an excerpt from the
Life And Journals of Keh-ke-wa-guo-na-ba (Rev. Peter Jones), Published In 1860:
"When our council and meeting was over we travelled on to
George Turkey's. We suffered much from hunger this day, having eaten nothing but a bowl of corn soup which Widow Dolson, at Lower Muncey, gave us, and we were very thankful to get even this coarse meal. Spent the night at George Turkey's, with whom we conversed on the things of religion; who informed us that he was willing to become a Christian. He and Chief Westbrook agreed to allow us to commence a school amongst them at
Upper Muncey; so we concluded to leave our young friend *John Carey, and at once begin a school." [1825]
