Moravian town,
A settlement in Kent county, Ontario, Canada, on the bank of the River Thames, near which General Harrison defeated General Proctor in battle on Oct. 5, 1813.
The settlers were Indians who had been converted to Christianity by the Moravians, who fled to Canada from the Muskingum, in Ohio, in 1792.
By an order of the Provincial Council in 1793, about 50,000 acres of land were granted for their use, on which they proceeded to build a church and a village.
Rev. John Scott, of Bethlehem, ministered there for some time.
At the time of the battle this Christian Indian village had about 100 houses, mostly well built, a schoolhouse and chapel, and very fine gardens.
