Also known as "Killbuck" the name of his father who was a well educated indian. He was chosen chief to succeed White Eyes in 1778. He strove to maintain peace with the whites and was assured goverment aid in civilizing and educateing the indians. This was only to apply if lasting peace could be arranged. As a result of hostility under Hopocan , Gelelemend , by an invitation of the Officier in command of the Pittsburgh garrison moved his band to an island in the Allegheny River. They would be under the protection of the soldiers. However, they were not protected from a party of white murderers who massacred about one hundred Christian Delawares at Guadenhutten in 1782. Nearly all of his band was slaughtered. Gelelemend escaped but documents given to the indians by William Penn were destroyed. Because of blame of misfortune to his tribe by the Munsee band he retreated to his home in Pittsburgh and joined the Morovian Church and was baptized William Henry. January 1811 he died.
