Mekinges Conner : ウィキペディア英語版 | Mekinges Conner Mekinges Elizabeth Conner (1785 – ca. 1861) was a Delaware Indian〔C.A. Weslager, ''The Delaware Indians: A History'' ISBN 0-8135-1494-0〕 woman. Little is known about Mekinges Conner considering her role in the history of Hamilton County, Indiana. Many articles have been written about her husband William Conner,〔Augustus Finch Shirts, "A History of the Formation and Settlement and Development of Hamilton County, Indiana From the Year 1818 to the Close of the Civil War", 1901〕 a pioneer in the banks of the White River who worked side by side with the Delaware Indians establishing a trading post and fur trade. None of his prosperous business would have been possible without the help of Mekinges and her high status among the Delaware Indians. A princess, a daughter of an important Indian chief had the influence to favor her white husband's business affairs. ==Early life== Mekinges Elizabeth Conner was born in what is now the city of Anderson in Madison County, Indiana, in 1785. Her Indian name was "Ma cun chis" (me king ees), meaning "last born". Her name was also spelled Mckinges; there is a street in Carmel, Indiana that bears her name: Mckinges Circle. Mrs. Conner was the daughter of the Delaware Indian chief William "Kik tha we nund", also known as Chief William Anderson (1740–1831),〔''The Encyclopedia of Indianapolis'' by David J. Bodenhamer and Robert G. Barrows. Indiana University Press. November 22, 1994. ISBN 978-0-253-31222-8〕 Head of the Turkey Clan of the Unami Delaware Indians. The town of Anderson was named after him. Her Mother was Mary “Ah Ke Ch Lung Un A Qua” from the Delaware Indians Turtle Clan. Her English name was Mary Anderson (1760–1825). Mrs. Conner lived with her parents until 1812 when she moved with her husband of 10 years four miles south of the town of Noblesville, Indiana, and east of the White River. The Delaware Indians, also known as Lenape, had a matrilineal line (the children belonged to the mother's clan) and it was common that married children lived in the same household as the mother.
