Steuben County, Indiana
President Thomas Jefferson chose William Henry Harrison as the governor of the territory, and Vincennes was established as the capital.Treaties signed by some leaders with United States representatives ceded large areas of their territory to the US.Starting in 1794, Native American titles to Indiana lands were extinguished by usurpation, purchase, or war and treaty.It was named for Baron Frederick von Steuben, an officer of the American Revolutionary War.Winona was held by the tribe for a few hours until her husband's nearest relative arrived to execute her.[7] John D. Barnard and Sheldon Havens encountered the Potawatomi group after the execution; they helped them move the bodies to a nearby grave that had been dug.But Dr. B.F. Sheldon found out about it and exhumed the bodies for dissection a few days later, outraging the mourning Potawatomi.[7] The county's low rolling hills have been largely cleared and leveled for agricultural use, although the drainage areas are still wooded.[8] The highest point (1,200 feet/370 meters ASL) is a hillock one mile (1.6 km) east of Glen Eden.The commissioners execute acts legislated by the council, collect revenue, and manage the county government.
