Enoch Brown school massacre

The school massacre during Pontiac uprising took place on July 26, 1764 after the French and Indian War. Four Lenni Lenape - warrior (Delaware) raided the teachers and students in a school house in what is now Franklin County, Pennsylvania, near present-day Greencastle and killed the schoolmaster Enoch Brown and ten children.

Because of such raids, the Parliament of Pennsylvania reintroduced capita premiums for Indians; such premiums had already been offered during the French and Indian War.

As the four warriors returned to their tribe on the Muskingum River ( Ohio Region), a chief swore at them as cowards for attacking children.

Settlers buried Brown and the children in a common grave. In 1885 a memorial was erected, which commemorates the massacre.
